Everything Participants Need to Explore Your Food Week

Participating businesses
Put Every Participating Business on the Menu
Bring together photos, descriptions, featured offerings, location information, and relevant website or social-sharing links for each participating business. Organizers can publish event menus, featured items, and special-offer details alongside each listing.
Listings are maintained by the organizer and do not provide live menu synchronization, online ordering, reservations, or point-of-sale integration.
Explore participating locations
Help Participants Find Their Next Stop
Let participants discover locations across a town or region, open business details, and find useful location information. Supported search, categories, map pins, and favorites can make a larger collection easier to explore.
Feature availability depends on the selected package and setup. Maps do not automatically build or optimize a dining route.
Optional check-in experience
Give Participants a Reason to Explore
Organize a sequence or collection of participating stops and let users record progress with the validation method configured for the campaign. Supported options can include codes, QR scans, GPS confirmation, or photo submissions; a campaign does not need to use every method.
A digital passport is optional, and a check-in records app participation rather than verifying a purchase or tracking a transaction.
Offers and configured rewards
Connect Participation with Offers and Rewards
Publish offers that participants can access directly, or configure rewards that unlock after specified participation requirements. Organizers and participating businesses define offer details, eligibility, and available redemption rules.
Supported offers can use single-use or repeat redemption depending on the setup. This is not a points wallet, payment system, or automatic loyalty integration.
Supporting event programming
Include Tastings, Demonstrations, and Special Events
When your promotion includes timed activities, add tastings, demonstrations, seminars, entertainment, or other special events to a clear schedule with details and locations.

Food Week app frequently asked questions
Can this work for restaurant, coffee, burger, or other themed weeks?
Yes. A Food Week app can organize participating locations and promotion details for restaurant weeks, coffee weeks, burger weeks, pizza weeks, and other local dining campaigns. The example coffee-week screens on this page demonstrate one possible setup.
Can we publish participating businesses and their special menus?
Yes. Organizer-maintained listings can include photos, descriptions, featured items or menus, location information, and useful links. The app does not imply live menu synchronization, online ordering, reservations, or point-of-sale integration.
Are check-ins and rewards optional?
Yes. An event can focus on business discovery, menus, maps, and information without using check-ins or rewards. Availability of participation features depends on the selected package and setup.
How do check-ins and coupon redemption work?
Organizers configure the participation rules and supported validation method for a campaign. Depending on the setup, check-ins may use a code, QR scan, GPS confirmation, or photo submission. Offers can use supported single-use or repeat redemption rules. A check-in records app participation; it does not verify a purchase or connect automatically to a payment system.
Can we reuse the app for another promotion?
Yes. You can refresh the branding, participating businesses, offers, and event information for another edition or seasonal campaign according to your publishing package. Check-in and reward configuration for each campaign should be confirmed with Grandstand.
What affects pricing and app publishing options?
Pricing depends on the publishing option, package, selected features, and service needs. Grandstand offers publishing within a supported container app and stand-alone branded app-store options. Stand-alone apps require Apple and Google developer accounts and are subject to store review. Review Food Weeks Pricing or contact Grandstand for current details.
Can we see how participants use our app?
Yes. Grandstand provides reporting on app usage and supported content activity, including views, favorites, shares, and searches. Available reports vary by package. Platinum and Titanium also include realtime analytics and geographic app-usage heatmaps. Explore App Analytics.
