National Restaurant Week celebrates restaurants and their place at the center of communities. Toast introduced the first National Restaurant Week in 2021, inviting everyone to celebrate from October 4 through October 10. The announcement recognized restaurants for welcoming and serving their communities, including during a challenging year, and encouraged support for local dining spots. Toast’s announcement describes the week as “served by Toast.”
How to Observe National Restaurant Week
Celebrate by enjoying a meal from a local restaurant during the October 4–10 observance. Dine in, order takeout, or choose delivery—Toast specifically said all three count. You can also share a photo of your experience on social media, tag the restaurant, and include #NationalRestaurantWeek, as suggested in Toast’s announcement.
