American Express’ Programs for Restaurateurs and Partnerships with the Restaurant IndustryFor over 35 years, American Express has worked closely with restaurants across the country to help them meet the challenges of an increasingly competitive marketplace. As a result of an ongoing dialogue with its restaurant partners, American Express has invested in a variety of programs and initiatives that support its restaurant merchants. |
American Express merchants can reach key customers easily and cost-effectively using the DinnerBroker. The program allows restaurateurs to place customized offers online and track their effectiveness. Offers are presented prominently in a wide range of Web spaces that allow Cardmembers to find restaurants, book reservations, and save when they dine out without the hassle of coupons.
