Nearly 150 Dallas-Fort Worth businesses will participate in DFW Restaurant Week in 2024. Reservations are open now, as of July 8, 2024. Between Aug. 1 and Sept. 1, 2024, businesses participating in DFW Restaurant Week sell a two-course lunch or brunch for $29 and a three-course dinner for $49 or $59 per person. At some, this price is lower than the typical cost-per-seat for dinner. At all seatings, DFW Restaurant Week donates about 20% of the meal to the North Texas Food Bank or Lena Pope, two Dallas-Fort Worth-based nonprofits. This event has raised about $11.7 million for both nonprofits in its nearly 30 years, according to a news release. By Sarah Blaskovich #DFWRestaurantWeek #DFWFoodie

Retain 70% of donors after 3 gifts?!?! 👀 I saw this video a while back (sorry, GaryV and language) where if you get a customer from one visit --> third, the likelihood of them returning after the 3rd visit is 70%! The same is true according to the Fundraising Effectiveness Project, 3-6 donations retain at 72%; and if you get to 7 , you are at 88% 🔥🔥 Keep at it, and enjoy the video; some ideas translate into the nonprofit space.

Econautics believes that the most critical issues of today are all interconnected. For example, you can't achieve health equity if patients don't have access to clean air to breathe, water to drink, and healthful foods to eat. That's why we are actively seeking out and #learning from other #nonprofits in the City of Fort Worth throughout our #reorganization this year. We are #listening to established nonprofits about their challenges, successes and opportunities. We are working to create new #partnerships and to incorporate this #feedback as we design our programs. #Together, we can create #transformationalchange. This week, we want to say thank you to Taste Project Founder Jeff Williams for his time! If you haven't heard of this awesome organization, Taste Project is a nonprofit with a mission to: "feed, educate, and serve our community so they may “…taste and see the Lord is good.” Psalm 34:8. ...Our first project, a non-profit restaurant, focuses on healthy, quality meals made from fresh ingredients. Our menu has no prices. This is a give and take concept. We ask guests to do one of the following: 1) pay what you can afford, 2) pay what you would typically pay, or 3) pay what you would typically pay, plus a little extra."

An interesting story of the gradual decline of a once ubiquitous roadside diner in the UK. Seemingly a lack of vision, focus on profit, missing the opportunity to adapt to changing customer desires and habits, and a reluctance to keep the restaurants appealing to customers as it cost money. In some ways, the definition of the business is key. Was Little Chef providing a relatively cheap roadside restaurant (focus on sit-down meals), or was it providing sustenance for travellers (providing food to eat-in or takeaway)? Even that small difference changes how you innovate and change. Dashboards will help you to see if you're doing things right, but sometimes you need to step back and ask if you're doing the right things to attract and retain customers and staff. For businesses, you also need products that they want at a price they are willing to pay. For charities, you need giving options that they connect with and a way to engage the donors through sharing the impact your having. Can you spot whether your business or charity is in decline? Have you been ignoring the facts? Have you looked at the bigger picture recently? Contact us if you want help to think about how your business or charity is doing. https://lnkd.in/eKHck_Qe

Many memories of eating at Little Chefs back in the day. The gradual decline seems to have been spotted too late to save it. Was there too much focus on profit and not enough focus on 'how' they were working? It looks like it was seen as a cash cow that would never decline, leading to a lack of innovation and change. What are the aspects of your business or charity that you think couldn't possibly fail? Are you sure they won't? Take some time to see if there is slow decline that you're missing. DM me if you want help to think through how your business or charity is really doing.
