1kg Steak Starter Kit

As per your normal bistro setup.
Ensure POS is prominently displayed and ‘challengers’ can be seen by staff to increase the ‘theatre’ element and verification of completion
The steak challenge is NOT a 241 item.
Patrons place the 1kg steak order at the bar as per normal bistro setup.
The steak with sides is $35 and delivers a 60% GP. Staff are to make an announcement to the bar that “challenger name” is attempting the 1kg steak challenge to raise awareness of the promotion and create theatre in the room.
Bistro Chef is to serve the 1kg steak to the challenger personally wishing them good luck to increase theatre around the promotion.
If the challenger completes their full plate, they will have their photo taken beside the life size cut out cow, with their “completed the 1kg steak challenge” t-shirt and Lucky’s cowboy hat.
Their photo will then be added to the 1kd Steak Challenge Hall of Fame! (please speak to GMM and your AM for camera/photo options)

What’s on flyer
Try to create as much Theatre around the promotion as possible. Bring the chef out to shake the challenger’s hand, announcing if the challenger was successful.
Having the promotional Cow and POS front and centre will certainly catch people’s attention around the promotion and ensure positive word of mouth.
Create an internal challenge amongst your sponsored teams
Suggest you add a Hall of Fame board for additional ‘Theatrical value’ and add successful challenger photos to the board for display. (Please speak to GMM and your AM for polaroid camera options)
Make sure your staff are all fully aware of the promo and telling their mates - we are looking to source new markets and gust with this promo
“shout” the first one and make sure everyone knows about it
