Promote your business inside the restaurants where your customers are.

The restaurant gets the board free. Your ad is featured for an entire year.

How it works

Four steps. No monthly service. No extra packages.

  1. 01

    Claim a spot

    Email Jennifer with your business, your town, and who you want to reach. She will tell you which restaurants are open and whether your category is still free on that board.

  2. 02

    We lay out your ad

    Send a logo, a short offer, and a phone number. We place it on the tile. You approve it before anything prints. Design of the tile is part of the spot, not a separate bill.

  3. 03

    We print and place it

    The full face of the board is one printed graphic, with a dry-erase surface over it. We set it indoors on a stand and leave markers for the restaurant.

  4. 04

    Diners see it for a year

    People read it while they wait, order, and eat. The restaurant rewrites the specials. Your ad stays put until the year is up.

Simple pricing

$600a year, one spot, one board

Want more than one board? Email Jennifer.

What the $600 covers

  • One of six spots on a 24 by 36 inch board
  • Tile laid out from your logo, offer, and phone
  • Your approval before print
  • Print, indoor placement, stand, and markers
  • A move to a comparable restaurant if that location closes or takes the board down

Not included, on purpose: a monthly retainer, a website, social media, or a promise of calls and sales. The wider bottom spot is separate. Ask if it is open.

Why a board, not another ad

The restaurant already has the room. You borrow a corner of it for a year.

It sits in the room

Not a feed. Not a mailbox. A board by the counter, the host stand, or the waiting area, where people are already stopped.

They see it more than once

Regulars come back. The specials change. Your ad does not. That repetition is the product.

Your category is yours on that board

One insurance agent. One realtor. One dentist. One of each trade. If your category is taken, we say so before you pay.

The restaurant makes it local

People trust the room they chose for dinner. Your name sits under a header that says support local businesses, next to a menu they are already reading.

Questions worth asking

How many people will see my ad?

We will not invent a monthly reach number. Before you pay, Jennifer will name the restaurant and the town. The board sits where people order, wait, and eat. How many of them see it depends on that room, and we will tell you which room.

How long does the ad stay up?

One year from the day the board is placed.

Do you design the ad?

Yes. Send a logo, a short offer, and a phone number. We lay out the tile and you approve it before print. That layout is included. We do not sell design, websites, or marketing on the side.

Is there a contract?

You prepay for one year. Nothing auto-renews and there is no monthly fee. If the restaurant closes or removes the board, we move your ad to a comparable host. That move is the remedy. We do not guarantee leads or sales.

When does the board actually go up?

After a restaurant has agreed to host it and the ads are approved. We do not print a host board until the placement and the artwork are set. You are not paying for a board with nowhere to stand.

What size is my spot?

A standard spot is one of six tiles on a 24 by 36 inch board. There is also one wider spot across the bottom. That wider spot is priced separately. Ask Jennifer if it is open.

A family business in Hillsboro

This is us. Jennifer, Ian, and the two boys the name comes from.

We wanted them to watch a business get built. The offer had to be simple enough to explain at bedtime. A restaurant gets a free board. Local businesses pay to be on it. We print it and bring it in.

Free specials boards for local restaurants, powered by local ads. Bringing local communities together.
