We have all been there: you got a negative review on social media. It was on one of the platforms of Facebook, Yelp, Foursquare and/or Google. How did you deal with that review? Just tell yourself to ignore it? Did you try to engage the poster? Or, did you get offended/angry, go about your day and never stop thinking about that review?

You ever wondered before you go out to eat, ‘Geez, I hope I don’t get there when they are busy. It could take forever to get my food?’ Well wonder no more! Google has got you covered.

Brunch: that magical time on Saturday and Sunday between breakfast and lunch where patrons are either stumbling in from a hard night out on the town, strolling in from the church or grabbing a bite with friends.

If you do not have a specific brunch service, should you? Our answer: Yes. Continue Reading …
We have a special treat for our readers today! Our friends over at Impos, who are THE leading hospitality POS system provider in Australia, produced the great article you are currently reading! So sit back and enjoy! The entire restaurant industry has been radically shaken by smartphones over the last decade, and particularly in the last 5 years. 25 years ago, food service centered around either old-fashioned sit-down places, or phoned-in delivery (which was itself a major innovation). While metropolitan areas like Sydney or Melbourne have always been up with cutting-edge technology, most areas have been dependent on at least one of the two options, sometimes only one.
