The promo allows dine-in customers to get a free pancit meal of their choice. However, not every customer can avail of it as it is only offered to those who have the same name as the restaurant's founders Maximo "Max" Gimenez and his niece Ruby Trota.

According to the mechanics posted on Max's Facebook page, dine-in guests with Max and Ruby in their names are eligible to get one pancit of their choice that is free from charge for a minimum purchase of P500 on their order. Flavors to choose from are Chicken Pancit, Pancit Bam-I, Pancit Chami, or Seafood Pancit. 

The claim the promo, you must present one valid ID or your social media account to show proof of your name.
