Secure your Beloved Recipes with Recipe Viewer

October 7, 2014

How does your restaurant document, organize, and secure its recipes? There are the good old fashioned flip cards, binders, and laminated sheets.

Tips for Using Tabletop Tablets for Guest Ordering

October 7, 2014

Technological advances are happening fast and furious these days, permeating every market and industry imaginable. The food service industry is certainly no exception. Restaurants like BJ’s, Chili’s, Applebee’s, and Taco Bell have hopped aboard the technology train – and they are seeing the fruits of their efforts, too. In our previous post, we mentioned BJ’s Restaurants’ use of an app which allows guests to reserve tables, order food, and pay their bill via their smartphone.

Identify your brand This is something that needs to be done whether you opt for social media or not, but it takes on a whole new meaning when it comes to the world of social media. Social media channels allow your brand to have more ‘personality’, as if it were a living, breathing thing. You can be funny or serious, or cater to a certain demographic or interest group.

5 Tips for Restaurants to Get the Most out of Social Media

September 22, 2014

This is Part 1. Families are much less “traditional” than they used to be, right? Think back to your favorite episode of Leave it to Beaver. Inevitably Wally and the Beav walk home from school (such cheerful, polite children, aren’t they?) and open the door to find Mrs. Cleaver happily vacuuming the curtains in her favorite dress and high heels. The kids dutifully finish their homework and run outside to play catch with the baseball while June gets to work in the kitchen. Eventually, Walt comes home in his three-piece suit and is greeted at the door with a tasteful smooch from the Mrs. and the family sits down to a quiet home-cooked supper complete with meat, potatoes, and a tall glass of milk,Continue Reading …
