Restaurants, bars, coffee shops, ice cream parlors, bakeries, and wineries – businesses within the Food and Drink industry – provide much more than just food and drink to their customers. They serve as cozy meeting places for friends to catch up, lively venues for birthday celebrations, and the spots that neighbors choose for their morning coffee to get their day going.
These businesses are important to neighbors for all kinds of occasions and proximity to neighbors’ homes can often be a deciding factor when they’re choosing where to go. That makes Nextdoor the best place for businesses to promote their Local Deals, where the customers closest to them, their neighbors, can see all of their latest offerings.
Here are top Local Deals from Food and Drink businesses that resonate with neighbors so you can run your own:

Why this works: Half off an entree is an enticing offer for any restaurant, and this deal makes that discount available for an entire month. The business made sure to list the daily special entrees that are eligible for the discount, and features an appetizing photo of one of their specials to grab neighbors’ attention.
Specht’s Store of San Antonio, Texas offered buy-one-get-one on their appetizers.
