Ok even though I know we are no longer talking about social media, this is an interesting article relating to Quick Service Restaurants.

This is definitely one way to get your name out there. Hopefully their aggressive advertising strategy works out for them.

Delaware moves to require menu labeling
Here's an interesting article I found on Nations Restaurant News:
http://www.nrn.com/breakingNews.aspx?id=378588
Since we are doing health and nutrition this week, I thought this would be fitting. It talks about the push for restaurants in Delaware to be required to post nutrition information on menus. Although this is great and all who is going to enforce this? I am sure that the cost involved with hiring inspectors to make sure all restaurants are in compliance would be extremely high.The article raises an interesting point in saying that a franchise owner may incur all costs associated with this. I think if this is the case the company should help out in some way to send a positive message to franchise owner rather than leaving them high and dry. Could this also impact sales of particular food items as well? Say if a customer sees an item with a lot more calories then he or she would want would they opt for a healthier choice instead? Of course this wouldn't be the case for everyone, because some people could care less about what they are eating. But as obesity rises and the push for a healthier society this may or may not help with our growing problem.

9 Ways Restaurants Can Use Social Media
Hey, so this is an article that Joe found.

i think it is interesting on how the restaurants are able to use the social media websites such as Facebook, Myspace, and Twitter to keep up with customers, get their suggestions and ideas, and even to look for people to hire. I feel this is the new comment card that is left at the table "Hey! Go to our website and tell us how we did!" You already see it now on reciepts for some restaurants and retail stores.
I think people tend to be more relaxed in this day-in-age to use a computer to tell someone how they feel about a product or menu item they just ate. There is no one infront of you to hurt their feelings or any of that nonsense. No confrontation means a more relaxed atmostphere for some.
Good find, Joe.
