GatlinBURGER Week Participation
September 15 - 21, 2024
We are asking Gatlinburg restaurants to participate in making one unique, great burger to sell for only 7 days during GatlinBURGER Week to compete for the title of "GatlinBURGER Meister."
How does it work?
During this week, we are asking participating restaurants to create a special, unique burger (beef, fish, pork, chicken or veggie) that's NOT currently on your menu and will only be available for 7 days during GatlinBURGER week. For this promotion, your restaurant can set the price for this unique burger as well as choose whether to sell the burger by itself or with a side. Through this promotion, both Gatlinburg visitors and locals have the chance to try these special burgers and eat to win cool prizes by completing the following 4 steps:
Download to Win
- DOWNLOAD the Visit Gatlinburg app, go to Challenges to find the GatlinBURGER Week Challenge.
- ORDER the special burger at participating Gatlinburg restaurants to receive the secret code.
- CHECK-IN on the app with the secret code at 7 or more participating restaurants to complete the GatlinBURGER Challenge and become a BURGER MASTER. Each location has a unique code.
- VOTE for your favorite burger to determine which restaurant wins the title of GatlinBURGER Meister. Please VOTE only ONCE. Multiple votes do NOT equal multiple entries.
How to Win the title of GatlinBURGER Meister
As visitors vote for their favorite burger, your business will have the opportunity to win the title of GatlinBurger Meister! So we highly encourage you to promote downloading the app and having your customers check-in and vote (customers do not need to check-in to vote, but only one vote per email counts). All and all this is a great way to get people excited visiting Gatlinburg in September and helps your business get additional exposure and have new people to try your delicious food!
