Rewards Network Congratulates JR's Texas Bar-B-Que on Top California Restaurant Association Honors.

CHICAGO -- Rewards Network, a leading provider of marketing services and loyalty programs to the restaurant industry, is pleased to announce that JR's Texas Bar-B-Que recently received the California Restaurant Association (CRA) Sacramento Chapter's Five Star Award for Best Barbecue Restaurant and Best Catering. JR's Texas Bar-B-Que was selected as one of four finalists by peers in the Sacramento restaurant industry, and was honored as the area's Best Barbecue restaurant at the Five Star Review Awards Dinner last month.

"JR's Texas Bar-B-Que is a well-known favorite among Sacramento locals," said Jot Condie, President and CEO of the CRA. "We are proud that industry leaders from our Sacramento Chapter chose to honor JR's."

"When I got the CRA award last year, it was the first time there was a category for this type of food. Now, to have won it two years in a row, well, I never dreamed this would happen," said owner Floyd "JR" Rothenberger. "I've been very happy with the role Rewards Network has played in my restaurant, and think their involvement has helped bring new customers to the restaurant and further get the word out about JR's."

As part of the Rewards Network program, JR's Texas Bar-B-Que is marketed through Web pages on the Rewards Network site and inclusion in printed mailings and targeted emails to Rewards Network members. In addition, the restaurant receives detailed customer intelligence and marketing reports, including member ratings and feedback, to help Rothenberger gain a better understanding of his diners.

"In addition to its California Restaurant Association Awards, JR's Texas Bar-B-Que has been voted Best All Around Barbecue by Sacramento Magazine and other publications for the past 20 years," said Ron Blake, president and CEO of Rewards Network. "Clearly this is an exceptional restaurant to have on the Rewards Network program, and I'd like to encourage our members, whether they live in the area or are traveling in California, to enjoy dining out at JR's."
