The Gateway to Milwaukee sponsored an instant discount to each customer order during the multi-day promotion.

• Customers were offered $5.00 off their $10.00 purchase, or $10.00 off purchases over $20.00.

• 12 restaurants participated in the 4-day dining event.

• 888 discounts were redeemed, totaling $7,820 in reimbursement to restaurants.
