Looking for a way to stand out from the competition? Why not try online ordering? Some restaurants are already giving it a try and reporting pretty good results. A Reuters news article online suggested these other profit-building tips:
"Restaurant companies are offering smaller items, squeezing through price increases and trying to get customers to order online in hopes of preserving profits, while keeping cash-strapped customers ringing their registers."
If nothing else, it's a good idea to do a Google search of restaurants in your area and make sure that your restaurant or bar appears in the list. If you have a website, make sure the Google listing is linking to it. If you don't, just check to be sure the contact information and address listed are correct. It's free for you to check up on these things--and just making sure you show up in the local search results could open the door to customers searching for good eats online (or even through cell phones).
You can also check with other search engines (like Yahoo!, MSN, or Ask), but Google gets the lion's share of searches each month (by a wide margin).
Standing out from the crowd has always been a good idea in the restaurant business, but with a tougher economy, it is essential. Got ideas on how to stand out? Post them here in the comments section!
