What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

Having a snack brand activate in our lobby between shows was perfect for our audience demographic. The sampling station created natural conversation starters among moviegoers, and it gave us a new revenue opportunity without disrupting our normal operations.

Buskirk-Chumley Theater

Venue Partner

Our community really connected with the local food brand we hosted for sampling. Not only did we get new customers coming through the door, but it reinforced our mission of supporting other small businesses—and honestly, the energy in our café that day was electric.

Laughing Planet Coffee Roasters

Venue Partner

We partnered with a craft beverage brand for a sampling event last month and the turnout was incredible. Our regulars appreciated discovering new drinks, and we saw a noticeable spike in bar sales that evening—plus several customers came back specifically asking for the sampled product.
