Restaurant Partners
Free to join, and built to send people through your door.
Tucson Foodie Insiders is a membership club for people who eat out constantly. Partner restaurants offer them something worth turning up for; we handle the promotion, the distribution and the support. It costs you nothing.
Apply to join InsidersFor locally owned restaurants, artisans and markets. If you're a chain or a national brand, the conversation we'd have is a different one — that's Brand Partners, where the rates are published.

Not from our systems
Social reach and ad impressions sit in Meta and the ad server, not in anything we can read from here. We'll bring the current figures to the call with the date they were pulled, rather than print them alongside numbers we can prove.
What being a partner does and does not mean
The programme is free, and our coverage is not for sale. Those two facts are the same fact.
- It is free, and it stays free
- No listing fee, no membership dues, no tier you can buy. The voucher you offer is the whole commitment, and it goes to your guests rather than to us.
- You cannot buy coverage, and you do not need to
- We do not sell editorial — no sponsored articles, ever. Partners are covered on exactly the same terms as everyone else: because an editor thought it was worth writing about.
- You can leave whenever you like
- Pause or end your offer with a message. There is no term, no notice period, and no penalty for stopping — an offer you resent is worse for both of us than no offer.
Want us to write about you?
Pitch it. A new menu, an opening, a chef doing something worth the trip — send it to our editor. It costs nothing, it always has, and joining Insiders will not make it more likely. A good story will.
Pitch a story to our editorWhat a partnership looks like
One offer, live in the app, redeemable by members. That is the whole mechanism.
What it costs you
Nothing but the offer itself
There is no fee at any point. The only thing you commit is the value you choose to put in front of members — and you set the terms.
- $40 total voucher value per member — two $20 offers, or one at $40
- Digital redemption in the app, through a "Tucson Foodie Insiders" button in your POS
- Any stipulations you need: dine-in only, one per table, day or time limits
- A little staff training — we provide visual examples and reminder signage
What you get
- Ongoing foot traffic from a high-intent local audience
- Names and emails of guests who opt in when they redeem
- In-app promotion in the Tucson Foodie app, the exclusive home of Insiders
- Dashboard access, plus a monthly report with a redemption-history spreadsheet
- Brand alignment with Tucson's most trusted food voice
- A direct line to our editorial and social teams
Apply to join Insiders
Two fields are required and the rest help. Addie looks after restaurant partnerships and reads these herself.
First, one question.
Is your business locally owned? The Insiders programme is for independent Tucson restaurants, artisans and markets — chains and national groups are not eligible, and we would rather tell you that now than after you have filled in a form.
