There's also a sweepstakes element, where Heinz will pick up the full tab for some cutsomers. The brand is committing a total of $125,000 to cover these gratuities and meals. Heinz is offering to provide a free year’s supply of ketchup to the first ten restaurant locations that take the "tip" and opt for its ketchup.

We support Americans who demand more from the condiments restaurants serve, and ‘Tip for Heinz’ aims to elevate fans’ voices for their preferred ketchup,” said Jacqueline Chao, senior brand manager, Heinz, in a statement. The campaign is underlined by data from Heinz, which said that according to a recent survey it conducted polling 1,372 participants , 75% of North Americans preferred Heinz Ketchup but nearly half feel there is nothing they can do when restaurants don’t carry their favorite condiment. “A restaurant meal out devoid of Heinz Ketchup isn’t just disappointing—it can actually ruin your experience. We’ve got the (unsurprising) data to prove it," said Raphael Franzini and Rafael Beretta, creatives behind the idea at Mischief. "But fear not. Heinz is restoring order by supplying its ketchup to lacking restaurants."
