Register your restaurant.

As it will appear in all promotional materials.

2–5 items for lunch and dinner. Lunch items up to $20, dinner up to $35 (prix-fixe up to $45). Optional, not mandatory — see full guidelines below.

• A listing on the PTARW website directory, organized by state, county/district, and school
• A print-ready entrance banner (your choice of hanging, standing, or window banner) plus a table tent card with a QR code linking straight to your promotional menu
• A printed menu insert featuring your promotional lunch & dinner items
• PR outreach aimed at local press, TV, radio, bloggers, and influencers
• Co-branded PDFs, JPEGs, and PNGs for your own social media, email, and print use
• Inclusion in PTARW's paid social advertising (Facebook, Instagram, Google Ads)
• Individual and group features on PTARW's own social channels

• Donate 20% of the value of your PTARW promotional menu items, for every such order during the two-week promotion, from any customer. The donation applies to the promotional item(s) only, not the rest of the check.
• No minimum donation requirement, though donations notably low relative to business generated may prompt a re-evaluation for future editions.
• Pay the school PTA directly within 15 days of the promotion's end, via the method the PTA specifies — PTARW never collects or holds donations.
• Beverages, tax, and gratuities are additional and should be noted on the menu. Promotional items are optional, not mandatory.
• Delivery-platform orders (UberEats, Postmates, etc.) are excluded from the 20% donation unless otherwise agreed with the PTA. Pick-up and take-out donations are encouraged but not required.
• Offer the special menu to every customer without their having to ask, without limiting hours, days, or number of orders or reserved seats.
• If you take reservations, reconfirm by phone 1–2 days ahead to reduce no-shows. Keep your wait staff informed so they can suggest alternate times or other participating restaurants if you're sold out.
• Send 4–5 photos of your storefront and promotional dishes to promotion@ptarestaurantweek.com — see the Photo Submission Guide below for simple phone-photo tips.
• Franchise/chain restaurants aren't required to create custom dishes, though it's ideal to have a few ready to go to make prep easier for the kitchen — participation and the 20% donation are what count.
• Each restaurant connects to a single PTA at a time. If you own or manage more than one location, each location connects individually to the PTA nearest it.
• If your restaurant uses QR-code menus, consider a special QR code for PTARW to track engagement and add flair.
• Deliver 2 $50 restaurant vouchers ($100 in value) to PTARW by October 2, 2026, for distribution to influencers, school PTAs, sponsors, and mystery shoppers. Vouchers are non-refundable and redeemable for PTARW promotional menu items only — not beverages, alcohol, tax, or gratuity.
