So You want to be featured in FastCasual? Here's how to get in front of the editor:

1. Press Release. We love them! But make it easy for us. Copy and paste your press release into the body of an email addressed to Editor@FastCasual.com. (Don't attach it) Sending a PDF will not prevent copy-editing, but it will probably delay the posting of your news.
2. Include photos. Include photographs and/or video if available and of good quality. Standard-format digital files are accepted (.png, .jpg, gif) as are video links, and embed codes. Identify the source and person or place shown; if more than one person, tell us who's who (by name, title, company). 
3. Avoid flowery descriptions and exaggerated or hyperbolical expressions of praise. No opinions; stick to the facts and keep them short and sweet.
4. Provide a quote from a specific brand leader. Include name, title and employer of the person being quoted.
5. Provide lists and/or stats when possible.
