Keeping Your Restaurant Customers Happy!

Scott (the Texas Twister) and Mindy (the Whirlwind) Purcell are experts in Tableside Balloon Entertainment in Restaurant settings.  Here are some ways we can help your business!

Benefits

Tableside balloon entertainment can enhance the customer experience in a wide variety of ways:

  • Holding the attention of children when they might otherwise be causing disruptions
  • Entertaining those waiting in line to enter or be seated, helping time seem to pass more quickly and keeping them in YOUR line instead of going elsewhere
  • Providing entertainment for those times when the food is delayed
  • Enlivening parties and other groups with balloon hats
  • Setting a romantic tone with hearts, bears, and flowers for anniversaries and other special evenings
Additional benefits to the restaurant include:
  • Increased traffic by dining families when customers become aware that the balloons are a recurring feature of your restaurant

Flexibility

We can work with whatever is best for your restaurant:

Duration/Scheduling:

  • We can be booked for a special day (Valentines Day, Mother's Day, etc)
  • Or a standing engagement (every Friday or Saturday night, or a regular "Kid's night")
  • Or for special group events (birthday parties, Wedding rehearsal dinners, etc)

Logistics:

  • We can entertain from table to table
  • Or from a fixed location
  • Or from a waiting area
Repertoire:
  • Over 150 distinct designs, plus many combinations and variations of those!
  • Romantic selections (flowers, hearts, teddy bears, etc)
  • Simple Selections for young children (dogs, cats, swords, airplanes, etc)
  • More elaborate creations for older children (Little Mermaid, Monkey in a Palm Tree, Unicorn, etc)
  • Hats for all ages (Birthday crown, princess crown, baseball cap, Longhorn hat, and many more)

Compensation:

  • The Restaurant can pay a full rate for the entertainer's services and the entertainer will offer the balloons freely to all who desire them as a gift from the Restaurant, declining all tips in favor of the service staff.
  • The Restaurant can pay a reduced rate for the entertainer's services and the entertainer will offer the balloons "compliments of the restaurant" to all who desire them but will accept tips if they are offered (but not solicit them).
  • The entertainer can charge a nominal fee for the balloons and offer them only to those willing to pay.  The restaurant would pay nothing.
  • Depending on the venue and the circumstances, the entertainer's might be willing to work for tips only -- offering balloons to all who desire them, but gently soliciting for tips in return.

Scott has nearly six years of experience in providing great tableside entertainment in Austin-area restaurants. Mindy has apprenticed at Scott's side and has six months of her own experience in restaurant entertainment. References available upon request.

Want to give it a try?  Scott will work the first shift for free (tips if offered, no solicitation) -- you can watch the responses of your customers and evaluate whether this is right for your establishment!
