Local media that gives back to local restaurants.
We've covered this city's food scene since 2009. Our community-first partner program is how we send people through your door — at no cost to you.
How the model works. Diners pay Tucson Foodie membership fees. Tucson Foodie gives diners journalism, guides and events, and gives restaurants foot traffic through the door plus journalism — coverage in its articles, guides and social posts. Restaurants give diners an offer and a great meal. Restaurants give Tucson Foodie $0: Nothing. No fee, no dues, no tier. Ever.
visits sent to local restaurants so far.
130 partners in the program today. We've been counting since 2023.
The all-time count of offers actually redeemed at a table, a counter or a truck window, read live from our own system. Not impressions — people who walked in.
Nothing. Ever.
No listing fee, no dues, no tier to buy. The only thing you commit is the offer itself. You choose it, you set the stipulations — dine-in only, one per table, weekdays only — and you can pause or end it with a message. No term, no notice period, no penalty.
What a partner gets
- Guests through the door from a high-intent local audience
- Names and email addresses of guests who opt in when they redeem
- Promotion in the Tucson Foodie app — the exclusive home of the club
- A dashboard, plus a monthly report with your redemption history as a spreadsheet
- Association with Tucson's most trusted food voice
- A direct line to our editorial and social teams
- Local food journalism that keeps going — member fees pay the editorial and social teams who cover you and the rest of Tucson's food scene
Host a Foodie Club mixer or dinner
Partners get the chance to put on a members-only mixer or a members-only dinner, in their own room, on a night they choose.
For a dinner, we pay you. Each dinner has its own ticket price, set when it's announced. It includes the tip, nothing is added at checkout, and it goes to the restaurant. We sell the tickets and fill the room.
You cook your menu for a room full of local food obsessives, pick up regulars who come back on their own, and take revenue on a night you chose.
