A pilot program by the Columbus Downtown Development Corporation is aiming to help Downtown restaurants by offering $10 vouchers to potential patrons.
The LunchBucks program, which launched Tuesday and will run until Aug. 24, includes more than a dozen restaurants.
The $10 vouchers — which cannot be used toward alcohol and do not apply to online orders — are limited to one person per week. They must be used at a participating restaurant on the Tuesday and Wednesday of the week they are issued from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
