What is the deadline to participate in Barbados Restaurant Week?
There is no deadline to participate in BRW. However, we recommend signing up at least six weeks in before the promotion.
Do I have to offer a multi-course dinner for the determined amount per person?
Yes. It is completely up to each restaurant to determine their special menu, but to participate in the program you must have a multi-course meal for the determined fixed price per person. Participating restaurants MUST offer the three-course prix fixe every day they are open from Sunday to Sunday, except Saturday when it only has to be offered until 7 p.m. Please follow this schedule. The three-course prix fixe MUST include at least three choices of each course — three appetizers, three entrees, three desserts. If you would like to add additional items to your prix fixe menu that are higher priced, you may add them with a supplemental charge. This is provided that there are still at least THREE non-supplemented choices on the menu. You may also offer your existing menu.
This variable price point allows restaurants to price their menus accordingly. Menu items do not have to come from the restaurant’s regular menu, but should be representative of the restaurant’s style of cooking. As an example, restaurants whose normal fixed price menu is above the Barbados Restaurant Week price points, create a special menu reflecting the BRW price points, yet still giving the diner a wonderful dining experience.
Pricing options:
- Lunch: Fixed-price 2-3-course Lunch for BBD $25, $35, $45.
- Dinner: Fixed price 3-course Dinner for BBD $39, $59, $79, $99.
- Specialty Offer: Fixed-price of 30% Discount
- For restaurants whose menus are already below $25 for lunch or below $39 for dinner – create a specialty entrée, appetizer-entrée combination or even stretched to “Dinner for Two” depending on the pricing structure that best fits the restaurant, and offer 115-30% Discount.
Can I include liquor in the fixed price?
Yes, to attract diners you can include beer, wine, cocktails or any other beverage in the multi-course fixed price, or you can offer discounted cocktails or wine as an additional way to grow the guest check.
Can I offer “upgrades” to the fixed price menu for more money?
Yes. Restaurants can offer a fixed price multi-course meal for the determined amount with special add-ons at additional costs. That is, you could offer the price fixed option, and then, tableside, offer the customer the option to add shrimp for an additional discounted price, for example..
