1. They may Run Out

There may be instances of long waits and restaurants running out. Don’t be a Richard. Thank them for working hard, have a beer and enjoy the beautiful mountain spring, wait your turn or make a plan to come back earlier the next day. 

2. You Will Tip 

A $10 fresh made burger is a rarity these days. You’re most likely getting a $15-$20 burger at a heck of a deal so please tip at least 20%. The people serving you work very hard and most likely travel a good ways to support the Cashiers community. A little extra gratuity goes a long way in making sure there are great dining options available to you year round. 

3. You really should buy a Drink and/or Other Food 

All Cashiers Burger Week Burgers are a la carte. Sides and beverages are extra. While it is not required that you purchase anything additional, show a little love to a restaurant for going above and beyond to bring you an awesome community event and $10 BURGER! Buy some fries, a beer and treat yourself. You’re worth it! 

4. Have Fun and Share your Burger Journey

Let's make this a fun community event. Plan your week in advance, share your itinerary and experiences with your friends and social media and don’t forget to tag the restaurants and #CashiersBurgerWeek! Vote for your favorites and join us May 13th for the Cashiers Burger Week Awards at Slopeside Tavern.
