Shakey's Pizza donates 25% of all food sales. They are franchised in Los Angeles/So. Cal. I don't know if they are in other states. 25% is high, however it does not count towards beverages or games/token sales. They are very popular with schools here. We are hosting a night for "National No TV Week" April 21-25.
Another good one to try is Chuck E. Cheese. They donate 15%, however it is for ALL food, beverage, salad bar, and token sales. So it's pretty good considering what families typically spend there. They send you a kit with flyer to duplicate English/Spanish), stickers redeemable for free tokens and free teacher meals. Chuck E. can even visit your school for a pep rally.
HI, most of the McDonald's are privately owned and hence they determine what they will give for profit. Our local McDonald's gives 10% above there normal take for the night. Dine in or Drive up. they limit the nights and it is 5PM-7PM. Papa Ginos in our area gives 20% of profit brought in and Mon-THurs 5-9PM. They have been great to work with. Good Luck!
What do you use the cookies for that you are selling-- great idea by the way--- Are they for an event at the school- do you sell at McDonald's night or at the school.
wow.... I must be either aggressive or a great negotiator!
Most places in Colorado give us anywhere from 5-20%.
McDonalds = 20%
Chick fil A - 15%
Cold Stone Creamery ice cream - 15%
most local restaurants - 15%.
we also negotiate a free classroom meal for the class with the most participation, we have little slips for them to write their teacher names.
class wins free lunch from the restaurant plus 5 adult meals: teacher, TA, 2 parent volunteers and principal or... we give the lunches to the front office.
McDonalds donates all the cookies for free for us to sell for profit: 3 cookies for $1. He also donates all the drinks for every school event. usually it's like $5 for the gatorade cooler enough for 300 kids. (great for carnivals, school dances)
chick fil a gives us free kids meal coupons, free teacher meal for teachers that come to our events.
so.... all you have to do is ask... the worst they can do is say "no"!
Pizza Hut offers 20% of all orders. It usually is run from 4-9pm, Monday thru Thursday. Our restaurant offers 20% and we have a good turnout; however, it is a small place and there is not much for the kids to do once they eat their dinner. We still made $303 in the fall. We have another one next week.
