So far, Ms. Jennings was running the public relations for Let’s Dine Out Company when she saw that changes had to be made to get the message across to Torontonians. She found a business partner, and persuaded him to invest in a “sort of franchise” buying out the American owners and promoting the concept in Toronto. She then persuaded the ; American owners to give her the chance. There are some restrictions at the most popular restaurants. For example, at the Top of Toronto, the membership is only good for a free meal from October to May. The Let‘s Dine Out list not only includes name restaurants like George's Spaghetti House, but other good restaurants that are off the beaten track like the Deer Park Inn, just outside Stouffville.
