Recommendation
That the Council Economic Development Committee receives updates on the Hayward Restaurant Month Promotion. End
SUMMARY
As part of the City of Hayward COVID-19 economic recovery plan that was reviewed by the Council Economic Development Committee in June 2021, the Together for Hayward e-Gift Card program and the Hayward Open for Business program were launched. These two programs were designed to encourage customers to shop and dine at Hayward brick-and-mortar businesses rather than spending money outside of the city or online. Utilizing the principles from the Hayward Open for Business and the software capabilities and brand awareness of the Together for Hayward Gift Card program earned to date, the Economic Development Division was able to launch its inaugural Hayward Restaurant Month in January 2024. The following report provides a summary of those efforts and results to date.
