Despite the economic crisis, Hard Rock Café Saipan is still doing fine, according to assistant general manager Aldwin Cullat.
He said they are aware of the declining number of visitors to the island but tourists, especially from Japan and Korea, continue to drop by the restaurant and enjoy its affordable meals and quality service.
However, in anticipation of what’s going to happen in the next few months, Hard Rock has lined up several activities to also encourage the local community to come and avail of the many promotional activities that would not only benefit the restaurant but community groups and institutions, too.
One of these is the recently launched “Smells Like Teen Spirit Rock Aid Fundraiser.”
Students can get a flyer at the restaurant and stamp their school’s name on it and present the flyer when they eat at Hard Rock. Cullat said that 10 percent of all purchases would be donated to the school. The promotional period is until Dec. 31, 2009.
Happy hour discounts from 4pm to 10:30pm are also on the menu.
“We’re inviting community organizations to tie up with us in their fundraising activities,” Cullat said.
Hard Rock is also planning to hold its first ever New Year’s Countdown on Saipan where customers will enjoy a local band and a masquerade show. The Countdown will be from 10pm to 2am.
“We want to inform the community that we are not that expensive, as many believe. The locals will have more chance to avail of our quality service,” Cullat said.
Another project in the planning stages is a bartending competition sometime in January.
“Our place can accommodate 350 to 400 people. It’s ideal for stage plays and mini-concerts,” Culiat noted.
He said customers could also visit the Hard Rock store and buy products at discounted prices and avail of free gift items like t-shirts and caps. If you buy any three adult t-shirts or polo shirts, you will get a free cap.
Another promo is the 10 percent discount on one’s second visit to the restaurant and a free cap.
