Menu Quality Remains Principal Factor Driving Positive Restaurant Reviews

proposable restaurants reviewsDuring a time in which it is increasingly the case that restaurateurs are placing a greater emphasis on their interior décor and the presentation of their menu offerings, it seems important to offer something of a reminder that the success of any restaurant still largely depends on the quality and preparation of the menu items rather than the appearance. In the same way a tech executive would be wise to utilize a software dev proposal template that generates data analytics and eases communication, so too would restaurant owners and chefs be wise to provide a more singular focus on the overall quality of their menu offerings.

Given the prevalence of social media tools that enable users to immediately upload a picture of the culinary masterpiece they are about to enjoy, many chefs feel an increased sense of pressure to produce dishes that are unique and aesthetically appealing in a way that ensures social media exposure. Of course, it is still quite important for a dish to look good, but the appearance of a dish can only accomplish so much.

If the goal is to ensure diners keep coming back to a restaurant time and again, restaurateurs need to refocus their attention on the overall appeal of the meals they create. Traditional restaurant reviews are still a critical component in ensuring the success of any establishment, and a culinary writer is going to evaluate the restaurant on a variety of factors that go well beyond whether or not the dishes are photogenic.

Behrman Communications on Restaurant Reviews and Public Relations

Restaurant_in_Kos,_Greece_(5653654530)The best restaurants always understand just how sizable a role reputation plays in attracting new clientele, which is why these restaurants frequently work with public relations and brand building firms to ensure that prospective clients are keenly aware of the outstanding cuisine the restaurant is able to offer on a consistent basis. One of the more frequently overlooked or improperly used tools available to restaurants is the simple use of authentic restaurant reviews as a part of a comprehensive promotional strategy. A public relations and brand building firm like Behrman Communications would be very likely to recommend incorporating the use of these restaurant reviews in some way in order to achieve the best possible results.

The difficulty, of course, is convincing an increasingly cynical audience that the reviews shared by the restaurant are wholly authentic and can therefore be trusted to reflect the actual quality of the cuisine. In order to combat this, a completely transparent platform in which users can share their experiences with prospective diners may be the best solution. Rather than cherry-picking the best reviews to include in a PR campaign or in any other promotional materials, the restaurant can instead direct prospective diners to a page or platform in which verifiably accurate reviews are able to be posted. This will allow the restaurant to take full advantage of the quality of its offerings through a very traditional method that becomes far more efficient due to the simple inclusion of a greater degree of transparency.

Ironfish Reviews Importance of Proximity to Restaurants and Other Commonly Overlooked Factors

Experienced property investors have long been aware of the importance of thoroughly analyzing just about every aspect of a potential investment property, particularly as it relates to the property’s proximity to certain conveniences and amenities. As a part of its comprehensive educational program aimed at informing and empowering investors, Ironfish reviews and outlines a set of principles specifically designed to help investors evaluate an investment property’s full potential and makes frequent reference to considerations regarding easy access to conveniences and amenities that homebuyers tend to value.

dinner-table-444434_960_720One of the ways in which Ironfish is able to assist investors in establishing a diverse portfolio of investment properties that avoids redundancies and maximizes the potential return is through its 12-step program as well as through the guidance provided by a local property strategist. With this type of guidance, an investor is able to take action on potential investment properties while understanding much more than just the basic information about the property itself. This includes the quality of the schools in the area as well as the potential for future development in the area, which could indeed play a role in the kind of return an investment property may ultimately yield.

Of course, Ironfish also notes that investors who make use of accurate predictive analyses may be able to take advantage of those areas in which it only seems like there is a lack of amenities or access to other valued conveniences. Through predictive analysis, investors may be able to identify undervalued investments that promise a substantially greater return on investment than most would have otherwise expected.

Ralph Slaske’s Book Motivates Me To Keep Writing

If there’s one thing that’s the truth, it’s that I love to eat. Who doesn’t though, right? Eating is good for you in that it makes you happy, sleepy (depending on what you eat), energized (depending on what you eat), and did I mention happy? When I visit a new city, the restaurants are the first thing on my mind. Most people want to go to the mall or go see the landmarks and the sites of the area, but I want food.

I have been a food/restaurant critic for so many years that I started this blog to rate and review the places I’ve eaten, and Ralph Slaske’s, “Guide To Making Money Online,” as found on Amazon has made writing about my adventures to restaurants more worthwhile. My most recent outing in search for great food and a great staff, because you can’t have one without the other in order to make a great restaurant, comes from a place in Georgia by the name of, “Canoe”

Canoe pretty much has it all. They have steak, seafood, burgers, soups and so on. My favorite item on the list was the Canoe’s turkey and mushroom burger topped with spiced pimento cheese and layered with house bacon. I can’t describe how good that burger was except to ask you to imagine the best looking person you know of. That burger tasted better than they looked! This delicious food is served at specific times, so you’ll have to check the website for hours of operation which is absolutely well worth it.

 

Smelly Restaurant

untitled (138) imagesTNX1QIEQIf you are smelling something bad in a restaurant it is time to leave.  A little research would have turned up numerous bad reviews and saved you the gross out.  If you can smell it then the restaurant is nasty and should be avoided.  Often the restaurant is nasty and you cant smell it so if you do, get moving.  Some restaurants allow a good smell to lure business.  Ever walked by a coffee shop and smelled that good coffee?  How about that pastry shop?  Ever smelled fresh bread baking?  Yes, those smells are the good ones.  If you smell garbage then it is time to eat elsewhere.  Tim DeCapua is a picky eater.

My Restaurant Reviews

I review my own restaurant online to improve the positive vibe.  Why not, if they let you?  Instead of a bunch of bad reviews the searcher will see my reviews mixed in. imagesUQ809XTN images This is a lot easier that actually improving my restaurant.  No I could just pay Yelp to filter out the bad ones but what is the fun in that.  The truth is that the interviews that get posted are usually from those unhappy customers.  The happy ones are not as motivated to post.  I just help the average positive post count.  Jody Rookstool is a good reviewer and will always say something good about your business.

Bad Review…Now What?

So your restaurant got a bad review how do you react?  Do you call the involved employees in to discuss?  I would think that would be a good place to start.  If the review was truthful then you need to have appropriate discipline administered.  Do you fire everyone that dropped the ball?  That dependsuntitled (35) untitled (34) on the extent of the infraction.  Did the employee spit in the food.  If yes then I would think firing is in order.  If the employee left the customer too long without service then I would dig a bit deeper.  Benjamin Luke Weil: Executive Profile & Biography – Businessweek is a good reference for employers.

Restaurant Review Fairness

images (42) untitled (375)There needs to be some fairness introduced into the restaurant review business.  It seems that if you pay a fee the review site will monitor your reviews.  Meaning the bad reviews will magically get lost in cyberspace.  If you are not a site member you will find a lot more negativity coming your way.  You will have to pay the fee or suffer the bad reviews.  I think we need some honest reviews of the review sites. Kim Bettasso decided to pay the fee. I have to agree with her as the bad reviews can hurt your business and cause revenue problems.

Clean Restaurant a Must

images7BA4ZRPG untitled (356)If I review a restaurant and it is not clean then the review will be bad.  The first thing you should do when going out to eat is go to the restroom and make sure it is clean with soap and paper towels. Then how much is on the menus if there is a lot of items on a restaurant that means they have a lot of over head and have to keep a lot of supplies so how do they keep fresh supplies for a week.  That means that they probably use can supplies and frozen.  Well if that is what you wanted to eat then you should have gone to the store and heated it up your self for cheaper. That is when you know you have a bad or good restaurant.  Art Falcone would never eat at a dirty restaurant.

Bon Appetite

untitled (213) images (3) imagesBNUW3HBNWhat review would you give that favorite restaurant?  My guess is that you will overlook any faults and give them a good review.  I am sure that there are people that hate that same restaurant.  What doe that tell about reviews?  Well it is in the eye of the beholder.  If you don’t agree with the review how will you respond to a bad review.  Will it make you wary of eating there?  Most would say yes, eating there would be suspect a the least.   Kim Bettasso will give a good review no matter what.  I would question her motives as a good review can be wrong.
