Default Re: Here's another BIG MONEY program

Great idea Don

Can I ask a few questions please? I know it's a new idea, but I'll ask anyway...

For the price you mentioned, would that be for a fixed number of hotels?

Any problems from a hotel with its own restaurant?

Would the restaurant pay monthly, quarterly, yearly?

Would you have a "send me a new menu whenever you like and I'll update the guide" arrangement with the restaurants.

Are you only targeting the ones in which you have your wall maps?

If you have a moment to answer these queries, Don, I'd be grateful

Best

Nick
