You have mail ChefBurke! Someone will buy something! Mystery hosts get benefits at $150 in sales. If you don't get that high maybe draw a name of an ordering guest to get 10% their order instead of the host benefits. The drawing for the mystery host is usually done after all the ordering is complete and people are eating and getting ready to leave.

Or.. you could extend the show and tell each guest that every outside order that they collect gets them 2 more entries for the host benefits. Have a date to close the show, make all the entry slips according to the amount of orders turned in, and draw then call a winner.
