FAQs

  • No problem! There’s no requirement to participate all seven days. Just let us know your schedule when you sign up, and we’ll schedule your posts accordingly.

  • Yes! Dine-in, takeout, delivery, or drive-thru — all formats are welcome. We want to include all styles of dining to showcase Geneseo’s full culinary scene. Just be sure your featured item is clearly communicated for whichever format you offer.

  • Nope. This is about visibility, not devaluing your menu. While some restaurants offer promotions, others feature their most popular dish or a limited-time special at full price. Your participation is about showcasing your brand — not cutting into your profit margins.

  • Participants upload a photo of their meal, server, or restaurant experience through our app. We require certain elements (e.g., food item, branding, or receipt) to ensure authenticity. Bonus entries are granted when users tag your business and @GeneseoCurrent on social media. Our team reviews all entries before winners are drawn.

  • We’ve got your back! Every package includes promotion via The Current’s channels — social media, email newsletters, and the Restaurant Week app. While we encourage you to share your own posts, we’ll do the heavy lifting to get eyes on your featured item.

  • Yes! Coffee shops, bakeries, dessert bars, food trucks, catering kitchens, and even markets with grab-and-go meals are welcome. As long as you're serving food to the public in some way, we’d love to feature you.

  • Priority is given to Geneseo-based businesses, but if you're in the surrounding area and part of the local dining scene, we’d love to include you. Just reach out for availability.

  • Gift cards will be used for giveaways and the grand prize gift basket.
