completely Random

GNHR RAK, T-BONES Derry Leave a Comment

Tonight i selected a completely random table with three older/elderly ladies enjoying a few drinks and dinner together. Two were sisters with a friend joining them and I just knew I made their night randomly choosing them. They had been dining for awhile just enjoying each other’s company when I approached their table. I could tell they were apprehensive why I was stopping over but immediately taken aback with delight that we had such a program and look forward to paying it forward with the Gift Certificate provided.

Accident in the lot

GNHR T-BONES Derry 2 Comments

Today a guest just arriving witnessed a hit and run. A young man and his mother were in the parking lot and saw a car shake and then saw the car drive away after backing into it. The rear bumper was hanging off the back of the car driving away while the witnesses called after the two young men. They were able to record part of the vehicle’s license plate. I found the owner of the damaged vehicle and brought the mom outside to call 911. She was dining with her father and two young boys. She had just picked up her dad from the airport. TBones was his favorite restaurant he used to dine with his late wife. Her dad had been traveling up to NH with his “lady companion” when she broke her pelvis and back and he had to leave her behind in Savannah in the hospital to have surgery and then flew to NH to see his daughter. She was so distraught as it had been just an awful day so far. When i told her i wanted to turn her day around with our RAK she cried, hugged me and thanked me profusely. She cried harder when I presented her with a $50 GC so she could take her dad out again during his visit on better circumstances as they had to abandon their meals and take what was left to go. The information the witnesses obtained was enough to identify the vehicle out of Auburn and luckily there was minimal damage to her car. I shared our RAK program one more time with the witnesses( and have fulfilled my RAK for next week)  as their acts had such a profound impact on the outcome of the accident. The police officer said their information alone was enough to identify the blue four door sedan late model toyota camry with the correct first 4 digits on the license plate. They were shocked and grateful and enjoyed a wonderful meal after being shook up and highly upset by what they witnessed and the pure lack of respect it took to drive away after hitting another car.

a young girl and her very proud family joined us for dinner announcing that her team had just won the state championships!!!! I had delivered their food and her mom was still raving how proud she was so i visited them after they dined and shared our random act of kindness program. I purchased the young girls meal items and offered them a $50 GC to join us again and handed the girl a $25 RAK to present to someone of her choosing. I hope to see them again

mom and daughter for dinner

My RAK this week went to a young girl dining with what i learned was her step mom. Just the two of them engaged in conversation which for a teenager is impressive. They were so honored to be chosen that Step-mom tipped her server the amount of the original tab!!! It was nice and refreshing to see a young person enjoying their time with not only an adult but a step parent. They were grateful and honored to be part of our RAK and impressed we have such a program 🙂

killing Cancer with kindness

We have a young girl who comes into Derry probably a couple times a week and it appears she comes over after treatment. While the family hasn’t shared all the details about this girls’  illness, we do know she is undergoing treatments and comes in for two grilled cheese sandwiches after trips to the doctors and hospital and this beautiful little girl always has a smile on. I asked her if she could help me this week by sharing some kindness and finding someone of her choice to make them smile by giving someone one of our RAK dining certificates and I would buy her lunch.

Thanking those who serve our community!

Tonight my RAK went to a local Police officer that came in for take out. When it was brought to my attention who he was, he had already paid for his food. But I still wanted to do something nice for him. I gave him a $25 gift certificate for himself along with the RAK. He was very happy to be the recipient and pay it forward!

Prom Date

GNHR T-BONES Derry 1 Comment

During a busy push a young man sat up front waiting for his hopeful prom date to finish enjoying her meal with her mother. He patiently sat waiting with a rose and chocolate in hand. At the end of their meal he came over and handed her the offerings asking for her to accompany him to the prom this spring. It was incredibly sweet and proved chivalry still exists this generation of young men. She accepted and he and his mom joined the mother and daughter for dessert. Our entire staff was so moved I couldn’t resist the opportunity to continue good vibes by paying their dinner and providing a RAK of their choice to pay it forward.

Tonight a guest was out with his parents to celebrate his nomination as New Hampshire’s Teacher of the Year award. He is well deserving for his dedication and commitment to changing the lives of children. I was honored to share our program and to pay forward his kindness by buying their dinner. He looks forward to coming full circle to pay it forward himself with our $25 GC

Military Guest

Tonight Amber waited on a party that was visiting for the first time. They asked if we could do a Military Discount. While it was a Saturday night (We have military discounts on Tuesdays) I decided to show them our RAK program. They had a corporate appetizer coupon and ordered a Boneless Tender along with a Brownie Sundae to wrap up their dinner. I approached the table and let them know that although I couldn’t honor the Military Discount tonight I wanted them to learn about another program -our RAK. I bought their appetizer and brownie sundae and issued them a $25 Gift Certificate allowing them to hold onto their corporate appetizer so they could use it on future visits. I wished them well and told them I hoped they would visit us on any Tuesday with the gift certificate I gave them so they could take advantage of our Military Discount. It blew them away and they will certainly pay it forward and be returning as loyal guests
