Here's what you want to do:

Host these dinners at some local sushi place. Have the owner give you 10% off given that you're giving them 6-7 new customers. Maybe even do something where you collect some $$ from the restaurant as you're bringing them, say, 10 new customers every month...

Love the idea btw!

www.grubwithus.com is doing this.

Besides grubwithus, that is exactly how Groupon got started.
