Promotional benefits include TV news media, monthly newsletters, listing on the Taste of Hayward website, inclusion on Downtown Hayward social media posts and on poster.​​

How it works:

Fuse Events is the official event organizer. Attendees purchase tickets for a flat fee on the event website. On the day of the event, they head to the designated check-in area where they receive their Taste Passport, then stroll from business to business to experience the ambiance of each unique establishment.

There is NO CHARGE for businesses, just provide the tastes, physical space to serve, and staff.

  • 500 “tastes” of your menu item(s)

  • Adequate area to accommodate a large number of “tasters” to pick up samples

  • Ample staff to check off passports and provide ready access to samples

  • Coupons to encourage repeat patronage (optional)

 

Organizers (Fuse Events) will provide:

  • Full coordination of all aspects of the event

  • 2 complimentary tickets to each participating restaurant (you MUST request this in advance)

  • Disposable serving dishes, napkins, and utensils

  • Coordination with Olive PR for exposure to all major media outlets
