Each new Restaurant.com partner is equipped with a custom web page on Restaurant.com, featuring a personalized description of the restaurant. The profile includes cuisine type, menu items, décor, pricing, and hours of operation for each participating location. Restaurant.com partners benefit from the program’s extensive marketing efforts, which create greater exposure and increase customer traffic. The company never sends its restaurant partners a bill, only hungry diners.
The Restaurant.com program supplies multi-unit restaurant operators with recurring custom reports that combine data from each chain location. Operators can evaluate total and individual location-specific program results with information such as profit estimates, number of tables filled, web page traffic and more. Restaurant.com also sends surveys to guests to collect feedback about their dining experiences. The survey data can be used to help modify menu items, improve and reward service, and support in-house incentive and loyalty marketing programs. More than 1.65 million surveys with nearly 800,000 customer comments were completed by Restaurant.com patrons in 2011, giving restaurant operators unparalleled, exclusive insight into their customers’ dining experiences.
Restaurant.com has a rapidly growing network of more than 18,000 restaurants nationwide. In 2011, Restaurant.com filled more than 5.5 million tables across the country nationwide with more than 18.4 million diners - an increase of 10 percent over 2010’s record year - generating nearly $400 million in revenue for the restaurant industry.
