What Venues Like You Are Saying

Real feedback from venues partnering with Recess

Working with this platform to host product sampling events has been fantastic for our food hall. The brands we partnered with brought in crowds during slower afternoon hours, and our tenants saw a real bump in sales on activation days. Plus, our customers appreciated the variety and we got some great feedback about becoming a community gathering spot.

The Victors Food Hall

Venue Partner

Hands down one of the best decisions we made was opening our space to brand activations. Not only did we generate rental revenue we wouldn't have otherwise, but the energy and buzz these events create is invaluable for our restaurant. We've had multiple sampling activations turn into regular catering contracts and ongoing partnerships with those brands.

Arbor Social Kitchen & Bar

Venue Partner

We've hosted three brand activations now and each one has been better than the last. The process is seamless, the brands are professional, and honestly it's become a draw for our space. Students love free samples and trying new things, which means we're booking more private events because people remember how cool our venue is.
