One Complete Promotion. On Us.

Puzzles & Pints

We built the whole thing. The playbook, drink menu, bartender recipes, marketing materials, shopping list, and the manager's game plan.

​

And we're giving it to you. Free.

​

No membership. No email address. No watered-down sample.

​

Take a look around. Download what you need. Put it to work in your restaurant.

​

This is what Running Sidework does. We build the promotions so you don't have to start from scratch.

Here's How This Works

Everything you see below is yours to use. No signup, no membership, and no strings attached.

​

Start with the Playbook. It walks you through the Puzzles & Pints concept, how the competition works, and how to bring it to life in your restaurant.

​

Then grab the Manager's Game Plan. That's your practical checklist for getting the night organized, assigning responsibilities, and making sure nothing gets forgotten before the first puzzle hits the table.

​

Work your way through the downloads below. We've already built the drink menu, bartender recipes, promotional graphics, flyers, and supporting materials. Click each resource to download it, or open the customizable templates to make them your own.

Take the whole thing or use the pieces that fit your restaurant. That's the idea.

​

And when you're done looking around, remember: This is just one of the promotions we've built for Running Sidework members.

Before You Start Customizing

Some of the editable resources included with this Playbook are designed in Canva. Creating a free Canva account is the easiest way to personalize flyers, menus, social graphics, posters, and other marketing materials for your restaurant. Already have a graphic designer or marketing team? Simply share the Canva templates with them so they can customize the files for you.

We want to see it.
