Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Groupdyne.com Promote Group Dining Venues?

Lack of a sustained, targeted group dining marketing campaign results in lost opportunities and foregone profits. Over $27 billion was spent on credit cards for parties of eight or more guests in 2007. At Groupdyne.com, we find that group dining marketing is frequently the missing element in a venue's advertising efforts. Group dining marketing is complex: many issues affect the decision to forego group dining marketing including lack of time, scarce resources, and simple lack of knowledge. Groupdyne.com offers venues innovative ways to attract more group dining and private dining guests in the following ways:

    • Advertising campaigns on all three major search engines (Google, Yahoo & MSN)
    • Marketing outreach via Facebook, Twitter and other social media networks
    • Partnerships with over 250 national corporations and an exclusive travel partner
    • Managing corporate dining reservations through our free Concierge Service

How Does Groupdyne.com Work?  [view]

    • Groupdyne.com users enter details for an upcoming event they are planning
    • Groupdyne.com provides a list of venues that match the event criteria submitted
    • Groupdyne.com users view venue profiles, select their favorites, and fill out a Request Proposal form online
    • Groupdyne.com sends these Qualified Event Requests to the selected venues.
    • Venues respond within 72 hours to the user with a custom proposal (including menus, pricing and other details) for the event
    • Groupdyne.com users review the proposals and book their event directly with the venue

Why do some venues have full “Venue Profiles” and others just a very limited “Venue Listing”?

    • Groupdyne.com features both member “profiles” and venue “free listings.”
    • Paying members receive "profiles" and receive all incoming event leads directly via email. Only this venue receives the lead.
    • Non-paying venues are listed for free and do NOT receive incoming event leads directly via email.
    • Event leads for free venues come only to Groupdyne.com. When Groupdyne.com receives this request, we call the venue,
      explain our services, and turn over the event request to the venue.
    • Leads sent to free venues are also offered for sale via our Pay-to-Bid Program [$5.00 per lead].
    • Note: Over 70% of all leads are submitted to our member venues.
