So tonight Alexa told me her table was celebrating their 57th wedding anniversary. I went over and asked how their day was going and they said wonderful they were celebrating. She told me she would not trade him for the world with the biggest smile on her face. I told them both that I was going to take care of their dinner tonight. The woman grabbed my hand with big tears in her eyes and thanked me. The husband told me they would be back again next year for their anniversary.
Double the Celebration!
Tonight we had a couple (and two of their sons) in for dinner this evening. I was informed that not only were they celebrating their anniversary (19 years) but one of them has just opened up a new pet store here in Hudson! We made them our RAK for the night and took care of their tab. The husband was totally blown away. The kids are looking forward to paying it forward real soon!
Lifting their “Spirits”!
Rachel and Kyle should have been in Florida this weekend for a getaway. Unfortunately due to some delays with their Airlines – they were unable to get where they were supposed to go this weekend! They came in for dinner tonight – just as I was leaving. I thought what better way to lift them up then to take care of them tonight. I only stopped for a brief moment to say dinner was on us! Each were amazed by the gesture – but it’s our little way of recognizing others. The service they got from (un-named airline 😉 ) can not be matched with what we give at GNHR. Enjoy your night Rachel and Kyle – you’ll get to Florida again soon!
Childhood Cancer
Today a regular came in looking for a donation for a fundraiser he started. He told me it was for childhood cancer and he started it all on his own. He went into detail about what they would be doing at the fundraiser and how it affects the community as a whole. I offered him two gift cards to raffle off at his event and he couldn’t have been more happy.
Braces Free
Robyn, a long time server here at Hudson, brought her daughter and a friend in for lunch. They mentioned how they were celebrating the friend no longer having braces. I gave her a gift card for next time and told her to get something crunchy. She said she will have fun trying to find someone to give back to.
Celebrating “Debt Free”!
Today one of our VERY regular guests Kathi came in for lunch. She usually dines with us alone – sometimes with her daughter and son-in-law. Today when she came in she was very excited to share that she was debt free! She was celebrating with a filet – we picked up her tab. She was excited beyond belief. She will be heading out this afternoon to spread her good cheer at Walmart!
Bedford T-BONES Regulars!
Today before I left I wanted to just pick a random table to RAK. I actually asked some regulars to pick a table number. They picked a number and went over. I met Pauline and Paul and come to find out they are frequent visitors of our Bedford T-BONES. I found out they enjoy ALL of our stores and Paul said he wanted to come to Hudson. I thanked them for stopping by and picked up their tab. They were both thrilled and will be seeking out a random person to Pay It Forward in the Manchester area! Sorry Bedford, they may be Hudson regulars now! 🙂
A Small Rak
Today we had first time guests come into the bar. They asked all kinds of questions about the menu and noted that everything looked so good. They picked out the chicken wontons for an app while they decided on dinner. I took off their app and let them know at the end of their meal. They were so happy and said they will definitely be back!
Taking Care of our Friends!
Had a young couple, Eric and Marisella, out with their son. Unfortunately there was another table talking rather loud about our current political escapades. Marisella was upset about some of the comments and asked to move to a table so they didn’t have to hear them anymore. Upon learning of this I went over and took care of their tab. Marisella was brought to tears and thanked us for our kindness. They will be back and said that this would not deter them from recommending our restaurant!
Let’s Gooooooooooo! TB 12 :)
Tonight there was a girl, Gabby out with her mom, Jamie having dinner. Gabby (4 y/o) had a Tom Brady shirt on. I stopped to chat with her for a moment and she was as cute as could be. Gabby has “several” TB shirts in her closet and has worn one every day this week. I presenter her the Pay It Forward and explained what it is. She said “I am going to find someone when we go shopping”. She is excited for the game – as am I!
