ChowPR

Press Preview

Definition

An exclusive pre-opening event where select media, critics, and influencers experience the restaurant before it opens to the public. Press previews generate advance coverage that builds anticipation.

Why It Matters for Restaurants

Press previews are carefully orchestrated events. The guest list is limited to 20-40 key media contacts, the menu showcases the full range of the kitchen, and the chef and owner are available for interviews. ChowPR manages RSVPs, dietary restrictions, seating, and follow-up to maximize coverage from every attendee.
