YouTube
YouTube is a video sharing website
that allows users to upload any type
of commercial, short film, or
videotaped segment. User-posted
content can be found by searching
for topics, artists' names, dates, etc.
Available since 2005, this free
service has exploded over the past
several years. Restaurants often use
YouTube to broadcast their chef's
talents and special events, or to
advertise.
Online Ordering
Services such as GrubHub,
FoodYoYo, Exit41, and SimpleMenu
allow diners to log into websites or
phone apps and place orders from a
variety of participating restaurants
for pick up or delivery. Some even
allow diners to place orders before
arriving for dine-in service. In this
era of instant gratification, this
fast-growing trend shows no sign of
losing ground.
Online Reservations
Sites like OpenTable.com, Eveve,
and UrbanSpoon's Rezbook make
reservations simple. With the click
of a keyboard (or touch pad),
hungry customers can peruse their
dining options (by categories like
city, part of town, specific cuisine,
or user ratings), check out the
menus, read reviews, and place
reservations.
