Planning a Restaurant Week? Proxi makes it easy to organize and showcase everything your diners need — from prix fixe menus and special deals to dietary-friendly options — all in one interactive map.

Why Use Proxi for Restaurant Week?

Restaurant Weeks often involve dozens (or even hundreds) of participating spots. Paper guides and static lists are hard to update, hard to share, and even harder to search through. Proxi helps you turn your lineup into a sleek, mobile-friendly map that makes exploring easy. And with our categories, tags, and filters, diners can find exactly what they’re hungry for.

How Filters Work

When you build a map with Proxi, you can assign categories, tags, and filters to every restaurant. That means diners can search based on:

• 🥗 Dietary needs – Gluten-free, vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, etc.
• 💸 Specials – Prix fixe menus, happy hour deals, limited-time offers.
• 🍱 Cuisine type – Italian, sushi, BBQ, Mexican, and more.
• 🕐 Meal availability – Lunch only, dinner only, brunch menus.
• 🍽️ Dining style – Dine-in, takeout, outdoor seating, reservations required.

Suggested Filter Setup for Your Map

Want to make your Restaurant Week map as easy to use (and as craveable) as possible? Use this expanded list of Categories, Tags, and Filters to help diners find exactly what they’re looking for—whether they’re after a vegan brunch, a date-night dinner, or a neighborhood lunch deal.

Categories (One Per Restaurant)

In Proxi, each point can only have one category — so choose something broad and helpful. For Restaurant Week, many organizers use categories to represent either:

• Meal Type (e.g., Lunch or Dinner)
• Prix Fixe Price Tier (e.g., $22, $30, $45)

Tip: Think of categories like sections in a menu. Keep them simple and easy to scan. Here are a few examples you can use:

Choose whichever method works best for your promotion — just remember: one category per point!

Tags (Add As Many As You Need)

Tags are flexible and powerful. Unlike categories, you can assign multiple tags to each point, which helps users learn more about each restaurant’s vibe, cuisine, dietary options, and features. These tags will also show up in filters to help diners sort through options quickly.

Filters (What Diners Use to Sort the Map)

Filters make your map interactive and easy to explore. When filters are set up thoughtfully, diners can mix and match their preferences to quickly narrow down the best options for their tastes, budget, and dietary needs.

In Proxi, filters are powered by the tags you assign to each restaurant point, and you can group them into logical categories like cuisine, price, and location.

Logic with If/And Filtering

Want to let users find vegan-friendly dinner spots in a specific town and within a certain price range? You can! Proxi’s filters support “if/and” logic, meaning diners can apply multiple filters at once, and the map will show only restaurants that meet all of the selected criteria. This is perfect for helping users pinpoint exactly what they’re in the mood for.

Example:

A diner could select:

• Cuisine: Thai
• Dietary Option: Gluten-Free
• Meal Type: Dinner

…and see only restaurants that match all four of those conditions. This makes your map feel incredibly tailored and smart — just like a restaurant-finding app, but customized for your event!

Bonus Tip: Keep It Fresh

Proxi maps are easy to update — so if a restaurant adds a new deal or changes their hours, you can edit the map instantly. You can even add custom call-to-action buttons for menus, reservations, or contact info.
