Now, more than ever, restaurants MUST offer online ordering for their customers - many restaurants are closed to inside dining and customers are also demanding the ease of online ordering.  So we wanted to share these online ordering tips with you again.

During the pandemic, one lesson quickly learned by many businesses is that they needed an online presence - for restaurants, grocery stores and retail.  Consumers are demanding the online shopping experience and convenience.  For restaurants, in many ways, the task is fairly simple - as menus are limited and easy to quickly put online.

South Restaurant + Coffeehouse, is now offering online ordering!  You can even order their famous cocktails - like the Basil Rathbon Gin + Tonic Kit for 8.  Amazing!

The Shift Towards Delivery and Take Out

Today I had the opportunity to attend a "town hall meeting" with over 1,400 restaurateurs across the country.  It was only for an hour and they will be holding more, so I highly encourage you to attend when you can.  There were some great ideas and success stories from restaurant owners - many that have been shut down for over a week - and they were eager and willing to share their stories.

The tone was overall optimistic - but the general consensus was that in the short term, restaurant owners needed to make some adjustments.  Below is an article that they shared, with some really great tips on how to make those changes in order to survive and thrive in the coming days: 

It used to be that you had to hire a professional to take pictures of your dishes for your online ordering application.  

Apps like Camera Plus,  Foodie,  and others,  can help you quickly and easily take beautiful food pictures to post on your Facebook page or to use for your online ordering system.
