For restuarant nights-what is a good % to go towards the school?

16 years 8 months ago #141747 by Nipomoprez
We have had four dine out nights, and all four gave 15%, however that had nothing to do with us. It was the business who chose the percentage. We don't use it as an actual fundraiser, just a chance for families to get out there and mingle with other families.
Our McDonalds will only do one school a year, only one night a year and our school isn't it. The other school has it locked up. I don't think that is very fair, but what can I do.....?

We have Friendly's Nights where 10% of ALL sales, whether from the school or not, between the set hours, goes to the school.

Regards,

Check out McDonald's and Wendy's if you have them-- these are both 15% monthly.
We do McDonald's now and love it--- it's once a month-- and we get a percentage of all sales-- you do not have to say you are with the school to get the percentage.

Thanks. Wish we had a Steak and Shake around here, that sounds good right about now.

Two local (family owned) restaurants give us 15% and Steak n Shake gives us 20%. Ten % is pretty low - check other options for next year...I'm sure you can do better.

Hi
When your school's PTO or PTA does a restuarant night with a certain amount of proceeds go towards the school,what is a decent percent?
On of our restuarants nights was at Beef 0" Bradys, the restuarant took in 700.00 worth of food from school patrons and the school took in a whopping 70.00. Was all that really worth it? We have about 484 students in all. They sent flyers home with the kids. So had to spend money on paper and print the flyers.
I am hopefully going to be elected onto the board for next year and am eager to make some little changes, but was curious if that amount was the same with your school. Thanks.
