#EatDownTipUp Campaign Hopes to Save Restaurants Post-Sandy
In the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy that hit the east-coast of America, a new Twitter campaign is hoping to help restaurants bring in more money to repair damages.
The #EatDownTipUp initiative aims to help the restaurants that lost power for almost a whole week in Lower Manhattan. Many of which were severely damaged in the historic storm.Standard tips in America range from 15-20% of the bill, but this Twitter campaign hopes to recover from the economic hit that many suffered due to the storm.
The campaign began when celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain sent out this tweet:
#EatDownTipUp’s official website said that; “from this one tweet, a movement was born and a group of renegade NYC residents banded together to help restaurants in need.”
The site links to a Foursquare page that lists the restaurants that people can help support as well as a ‘Restaurant Stories’ section that explains the trials and tribulations that some of the eateries have gone through.
How much do you think this campaign will help?
