Find a local restaurant that is willing to host your fundraiser. They will appreciate the extra business it will bring them and you will have fun raising money. Your group will take over waiting tables and bussing dirty dishes, in exchange for tips for your group. You will probably want some experienced wait staff on hand to help guide your group. Most restaurant goers, hearing that their tip money will be going to a charity/fundraiser will probably be generous giving more than the customary 15 to 20%.
You should try to choose a restaurant that is locally centralized so that you can get a large turnout. Advertise locally what your group will be doing and when. Work with the restaurant owner to create a special menu for the evening that is themed to your charity or group.
You might be able to get the restaurant to donate $1 for every meal ordered from the special menu.
Remember to be polite, fast, and accurate.
