(Excerpts from a National Restaurant Association press
release)
 According
to the National Restaurant Association "research shows that consumers
have a strong interest in restaurant online services. Forty-eight
percent of adults have used the Internet to visit a restaurant’s Web
site, 18 percent have placed orders online, and 17 percent have made
an online reservation. In addition, 22 percent say they would choose
to receive cell-phone notices if their favorite restaurant offered
it."
With these kinds of numbers it's
probably no secret that the Internet is replacing the telephone for
many customers, especially the younger generation, who now routinely order carry-out
or delivery orders using the web.
And it's no surprise, with broadband readily available,
that people can order more quickly online than before and are growing more comfortable making online
purchases. But what is surprising is the ease at
which restaurants can add the sophisticated technology of online ordering to their websites,
using services such as
iMenu360.com iMenu360, founded by a restaurateur with
over 18 years of food service experience, is shining example of why no
restaurant need fear the technological hurdles of adding online
