🤔 What is La Pizza Week?

La Pizza Week is an interactive festival that connects people to food.

During La Pizza Week the public will try your creation, share their experiences on social media and vote for their favorites using the La Pizza Week website.

🌎 Where is La Pizza Week?

La Pizza Week is in your restaurant! 

Beginning in Montreal 4 years ago, the festival now engages hundreds of thousands of participants across Canada.

We help funnel the public to your restaurant so they can rate and review the best pizzas your city has to offer. More than anything, the event helps people discover restaurants like yours!

📣 What’s in it for me?

As a restaurant partner, our team will help boost sales and increase your restaurant’s brand awareness. 

The benefits of successful participation can pay dividends for years to come. The objective is to have people over and try your creations. Winning is not the point, it really is to participate, interact with the festival, have fun with it. Your staff and your customers will be happy you did it! 

🏁 How can I get started?

The first step: create a pizza to be proud of.

Once you’ve built a unique and delicious pizza that showcases your restaurant, fill in your profile page and include amazing pictures of your pizza and a description of the ingredients. And don’t forget to talk about it on your social media. Exercise your culinary creativity and let your city be the judge!

💰How much does it cost to join?

It depends!

If your restaurant already uses DoorDash, your entry in the festival is free! Otherwise, basic participation (Tier 1) starts at just $300. Tier 1 covers up to five restaurant locations (if you have multiple locations) at no extra cost.

We also have Tier 2 and Tier 3 options, which supercharge your participation. Tier 2 (+500$) includes professional photos and promotional videos, and Tier 3 (+2000$) also includes a month-long social media takeover by our team (starting two weeks before the event and ending 1 week after the event).  More details on that below.

☑️ How does voting work?

La Pizza Week is an interactive, gamified experience for both the restaurant and the public.

As clients finish their meal (or purchase it at the counter), encourage them to vote for your pizza.
Remind them that by doing so, they will gain YUM points that they can redeem for more delicious pizza around the city! Voting is easy. Direct the client to:

  1. Go to www.lapizzaweek.com
  2. Create an account linked with their Gmail or Facebook,
  3. Vote!

Voting doesn’t just help the customer, it helps your restaurant. More votes means more visitors, and the restaurants with the most votes are also featured more prominently on our website.

We always encourage restaurants to have their staff highlight their special, limited edition pizza during La Pizza Week. Because it won’t be on the menu long, why not try it while you have the chance? 

🌈 Support Make-A-Wish Foundation

Commit with $1 per pizza

During Pizza Week, we encourage each participating restaurant to donate $1 per pizza sold to The Children's Wish Foundation. This initiative aims to fulfill the dreams of seriously ill children. While your participation is optional, it is crucial for enhancing our community impact. Each year, we partner with different organizations to strengthen our support for the community.

How to participate? After the event, you will be able to transfer the collected amount directly to the Children's Dreams Foundation. A link to make your contribution will be provided, also allowing you to receive a charity receipt.

🏆 How do customers earn YUM points?

Besides earning badges and winning prizes, customers can earn “YUM” points during La Pizza Week by engaging with the festival, by voting, by interacting on social media and buying pizzas.

Customers can also purchase YUMS on the La Pizza Week website and exchange them for pizza at participating restaurants.

🤑 How do customers use YUM points?

Once a customer has collected enough YUMs to trade them for a pizza, your restaurant will need to validate it, trading in YUMs for pizzas! You get your cash back in less than a couple of weeks. Doing so is as easy as 1, 2, 3! 

  1. Use a smartphone camera to scan the customer’s QR code (no special app is needed, just a camera on a phone, any staff member can do it).
  2. Click the link that appears on screen after scanning
  3. Confirm that all the information pertaining to your pizza and restaurant is correct.

That's it!

Once you've successfully validated the purchase, we will transfer you the value of the sale, minus our 10% transaction fee. You will receive payment within 14 days following the end of the festival.

⚖️ Is accepting to trade-in YUMs at my restaurant mandatory?

When you sign up for La Pizza Week, you can opt out, no problem.

However, we really would encourage you to do so. By accepting, you become a part of what makes the festival so fun, interactive and dynamic.

Moreover, by accepting YUM points, you’ll unlock the potential to earn your own redeemable points called RESTOYUMs. The more points you get, the higher up on the leaderboard you’ll go, which will be displayed on our homepage.

🥇*NEW FEATURE* : RESTOYUMS! What are they?

When you allow customers to redeem YUMs at your restaurant, you can earn RESTOYUMS.

RESTOYUMS is the point system for restaurants, which allows them to also play and interact with the festival and customers.

However, we really would encourage you to do so. By accepting, you become a part of what makes the festival so fun, interactive and dynamic.

By collecting RESTOYUMS, you’ll move up the leaderboard on our website, which will help draw more customers to your business. RESTOYUM points are allocated as such:
