$5Dining Searches for the BEST $5 Meals in San Antonio

SAN ANTONIO-(Business Wire)-August 27, 2009 - With the downturn in the economy, many consumers assume they can no longer enjoy the good food and social experience of dining out in San Antonio. But they can with $5Dining, a consumer resource website which features budgeting tips and a heaping serving of good $5 dining destinations.

$5Dining continues its search for the best $5 meals in San Antonio. At $5Dining (www.5dollardining.com), restaurant owners can enjoy increased traffic simply by joining the $5Dining community of primarily locally owned restaurants prepared to offer $5 and $10 meals to area “foodies.”

“$5Dining is the first site to offer a network of restaurants advertising lunches and dinners for the $5 price point that so many large chains are promoting independently. The most expensive piece of equipment in a restaurant is an empty chair,” says co-founder Terry Bartelli.

San Antonio diners Vivian and Terry Bernard are trying a new $5Dining restaurant every week:

“$5 dining in today's economy? What a great idea and just in time too. We used to eat out all the time, but it seems we couldn't leave a restaurant, no matter how casual, for less than $20 or $25, and we were trying hard to be frugal! I couldn't believe some of the deals on your website. Some were only available to $5Dining members and not on the menu. We started visiting some of the restaurants and it's true! I want the restaurants to know that we appreciate their efforts! Tell them that we are now eating out more often because of the deals on your website.”

Each participating restaurant has a unique micro-site with their $5 and $10 specials posted, a 10-picture slide show, Google map, links to their own website and menu, and more. Some restaurants offer coupons, while others have unique green $ symbols to indicate specially priced $5Dining meals. Diners enjoy free access to the website and restaurant owners pay a nominal setup charge with free advertising for the first six months.
