wow, thought i was cynical...................sounds like a savvy business gal, trying to get customers, who normally wouldn't go there, such as me, or simply not familiar with the place. though i've had justin's burger in the original aussie pub, damn tasty, but cig smoke kept me away, no longer a problem. 2 for 1, damn good promotion, =D>

can't think of a better way to get people to sample the food =D>

, as grand openings are usually catered by outside source.

nursing a sore throat / plus, and no taste buds, or i'd stop in, maybe in another month. cheers and good luck.

yea, i thought i was seeing double............yo Lee, let's get cracking there :lol:

Congratulations to AusieElla for initiating a marketing plan that exists in the wider dining community outside Udon and showing good grace in not responding to those who attempted to torpedo the offer through uninformed assumptions.
Shame on those who have responded in such a negative way to the idea, with some inferring that this promotion has a smoke and mirrors scam. If you were to reread the original post you will see that the offer was the purchase off the bistro menu and your dining partner can have her thai meal at no charge. The cost of the ingredients for the thai meal will be less than the western style food and as such would allow the operator to offer the 2 for 1 deal. Those with an understanding of marketing will appreciate that the business will gain by value adding through additional purchases which will happen as a matter of course at standard prices.
When buying an existing business and attempting to build a stronger public appeal, these types of promotions are an ideal way of showcasing the standard of the new cuisine and the ambiance of the business. For those who are willing to slag off on the reputation of businesses who are attempting to make their way in uncertain times you could make a more valuable contribution to your own and other peoples lives by doing something constructive.
