after6 Submit your donations At the end of the campaign – September 30, 2012 – make sure you submit your final total of donations. You will receive a Payment Form once you’ve registered with simple instructions on how to return your funds to us. You can choose from a number of options including credit card, BPAY and cash. Remember to also update your donation tally online on the Bread for Good website.
Please note the deadline for submitting your donations is October 31, 2012.
Update your donations online weekly.Ideally, we recommend visiting our website at least once a week during the campaign to update your donations. Doing this will help you compare your fundraising efforts with other restaurants and push you towards the top of the fundraising leader board!
4 Communicate with your customersThe most important piece in communicating with your customers – next to your staff – is the Bread for Good table card.
Be sure to properly display the table card starting September 1 until September 30, 2012.
Don’t want to put something on your tables? No problem. Simply distribute the table cards with the bill at the end of the customer’s meal. If you choose this option make sure your waiters inform the patrons
about the campaign at the start of the meal. This way they know you are participating and it gives them time to think about what they would like to donate.
Menu messaging - You may also choose to include a short message somewhere on your printed menus for the duration of the campaign.
5 Encourage and collect donations When your patrons request their bill ask them politely if they want to add $2 or more to support Bread for Good. That is if they haven’t already expressed wanting to donate of course.
How to collect donations?As you determine how to collect and track patron donations, we recommend – if possible – that you integrate Bread for Good donations into your Point-of-Sale (POS) system for the duration of the campaign. Just make sure GST doesn’t apply to the donation line item.
This month, break bread to save lives.
