Leading Polished Casual Fondue Restaurant's Beverage Program Named "Best Special Event/Program"

TAMPA, Fla. - Jan. 27, 2016 // PRNewswire // -- The Melting Pot® Restaurants, Inc., the world's premier fondue restaurant and a leading polished casual dining franchise, announced today it has won the 2016 Vibe Vista Award for Best Special Event/Program for its 2014 Women & Whiskey limited-time offer. These awards recognize the creation, training, execution, management, and on-going positive results of an on-premise national chain company's corporate beverage program. The Melting Pot was honored at the VIBE Conference, the annual premiere event recognizing the leading chain and hotel adult beverage executives and suppliers, last week in San Diego.

"We are honored to receive this prestigious award in recognition of our Women and Whiskey limited-time offer and its impact on the beverage industry," said President of The Melting Pot Restaurants, Inc., Mike Lester. "Each year, we focus on providing some of the best-tasting menu items and limited-time offers that our guests enjoy and increase profitability for our franchisees."

Created by Beverage Manager Paul Brown, The Melting Pot's Women and Whiskey promotion celebrated women and the revival of whiskey with featured whiskey cocktails, such as the "Buck be a Lady" and "Alabama 33," a customizable whiskey flight, as well as ladies' night events featuring whiskey-infused fondues. The fall 2014 limited-time offer was promoted heavily in the restaurants with recipe cards, table tents and even a fun quiz to help ladies identify what kind of "whiskey woman" they are.

"We are always looking for ways to create added appeal for diners," said Brown. "Combining the natural group appeal of fondue with a special drink menu that is on-trend and attractive to women was a win for our restaurants and a lot of fun for our guests."
