Fill Your Empty Tables

A restaurant owner's ability to reach out and draw patrons into the restaurant was formerly limited to radio ads,  bill boards, mailers, the internet/social media. Promotions on these mediums can be missed by potential customers, can no longer relevant because the customer already ate, or can be thrown away or ignored out of habit without much thought.

Mobile text marketing changes that. The Patron Instant Engagement (PIE) Recipe is a SMS mobile text marketing system designed specifically for restaurants enabling them to communicate regularly and effortlessly with potential guests so that filling their empty tables can almost be done on demand. Imagine being able to reach lunch customers just before lunch time, dinner customers just before dinner time. Having a slow night? Send out a blast to entice your regulars to stop by for immediate seating.

The Restaurateur's Vision

The dining experience is enjoyed by restaurant patrons of all cultures and regions. Restaurateurs enjoy creating the best atmosphere and serving the most delicious cuisine that they can imagine, as if they're inviting patrons into their own homes.

How disappointing it is when after all of the preparations are made, the hosting, serving, and kitchen staff are in place, the restaurant still has an unacceptable amount of empty tables.

Yes the empty tables do mean lost revenue but also, and in most cases more importantly, they mean lost chances for the restaurateur to share his or her dining experience with invited guests.
