How Restaurants Are Using a Digital Scratch-Off Game to Build SMS, Email & VIP Lists – Without Ads or Third-Party Fees. 💡 Want more customers coming back—without relying on Facebook, Google, or expensive third-party apps?

In this episode of Big Ideas For Restaurants, host Sam Young sits down with Eric Herman, founder of Big Ideas, to discuss how restaurants and bars can use a Digital Scratch-Off Game to build their SMS, email, and VIP membership lists on autopilot.

✅ Turn casual visitors into repeat customers ✅ Capture direct customer data without relying on ads ✅ Boost engagement and excitement with gamification ✅ Send exclusive offers, promotions & VIP perks—directly to customers’ phones

With third-party delivery apps taking massive cuts and ad spend getting more expensive, independent restaurant owners need a better way to keep guests engaged and coming back.

This fun, gamified scratch-off game encourages customers to opt into your restaurant’s SMS or email list in exchange for a chance to win exclusive prizes, allowing you to build a high-value customer list—free from third-party fees and algorithms.
