Published by: Lost-in-USA.com <br />
Recent legislation has passed requiring the restaurant industry to provide nutritional information about their menu items. The new bill will require California restaurants with 20 or more locations to provide brochures with nutritional information by July 1, 2009. In addition by January 1, 2011, restaurants will need to post calories on their menus and menu boards for patrons to view. This legislation requirement is actually a positive step for both customers and restaurant owners. <a bitly="BITLY_PROCESSED" href="http://www.lost-in-usa.com/restaurant-menu-labeling/">Keep Reading </a><br />

These days when we are working towards solving the most serious matter of global warming and searching ways to reduce it, still there are some sources which are making it more severe day by day. Among these are restaurants which are adding more and more to paper waste with their paper menus/flyers or brochures. All the techno savvy restaurateurs have adopted online food ordering systems as a solution to their food ordering needs... <a href="http://bit.ly/6O6Jha" rel="http://bit.ly/plugins/iframe?hashUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fbit.ly%2F6O6Jha">Read On </a><br />

This is very time consuming and often comes during the busy time for the day which makes it very costly. There is an easy way to get around this and a technique that will gain you more word of mouth referrals. <a href="http://www.thegrubclub.com/restaurant-owners.htm">The Grub Club</a>® is a web site that helps you post your menu online.<br />
<br />

It is quick and easy. Once they validate that your restaurant is real, you can then setup up your own web address (URL). Something like <a href="http://www.thegrubclub.com/a/hilltop">www.thegrubclub.com/a/hilltop</a>. When someone calls you can give them your web address and they can print the menu out themselves. They can also bookmark it so that they have it for next time. Happy customer often tell their friends about a great meal or dining experience.<br />
<br />
Having a web address to give out definitely will help them tell their friends and spread the word.<br />

They didn't find success overnight, but this week, in their new home at 308 Old Mill Road in Old Mill Plaza, they were getting orders not only for the three items but for deep-fried Oreos, Twinkies, pound cake and just about anything else. <a href="http://www.lehighvalleylive.com/business/index.ssf?/base/business-0/1240027516138220.xml&coll=3">Read On .....</a></p><p>Want see the <a href="http://www.thegrubclub.com/r/menu_11098_9084.htm">Pizza Snobz Menu</a>?

It's near the University of Montana and Hellgate High School. It's close to dense residential neighborhoods, and parking is more manageable here than north of the Higgins Avenue Bridge, he said. <br /><br />Sano means "healthy" in Spanish. The name "Taco Sano" rolled off the tongue, Butz said, but it also lets customers know that there are healthy food options here.<br /><br /><a href="http://mtinbusiness.com/inbiz-0905/bus10.php">See more on this Restaurant</a><br /><br />Here is the <a href="http://www.thegrubclub.com/r/restaurant_10684_taco-sano.htm">Taco Sano Burrito & Taco Menu</a>: <br /><a href="http://www.thegrubclub.com/r/restaurant_10684_taco-sano.htm">www.thegrubclub.com/r/restaurant_10684_taco-sano.htm</a>MJ's Dad - Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11007333199324358394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21816530.post-64831271074848780152009-03-09T14:15:00.002-08:002009-03-09T14:19:41.687-08:00To Go Menu OnlineI just got off the phone with Daryl in Las Vegas.

We can help.<br /><br />Just email, fax or mail us your menus and we will post them for you.<br />Next - Google, Yahoo & MSN<br /><br />We will contact the big three search engines, Google, Yahoo, MSN, and submit your listing to them. This will insure that if someone does a search for "Your Restaurant, Your City, Your State" people will find your listing. It will also help people who are looking for a new restaurant to find you. You will also receive a you own web address that can be posted at your establishment and used in advertising. It will be something like: www.thegrubclub.com/a/your-restaurant-name.<br /><br />The great thing about these search engines is that it is verifiable. Both Google and Live/MSN require validation so you will receive a post card saying that your listing was submitted. For Yahoo a simple search on "Your Restaurant, Your City, Your State" will show that your restaurant has been listed. There will be no doubt that this was completed. Phone calls about your menu online will also confirm that people are finding your menu.<br /><a href="http://www.thegrubclub.com/menu-marketing-service.htm">Find out More.</a>MJ's Dad - Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11007333199324358394noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21816530.post-84206914217883604962008-11-17T14:14:00.002-09:002008-11-17T14:28:01.459-09:00Look What Great Things That can Happen When You Post Your Menu on The Grub Club®In a search for incoming links I found this article online at Via Magazine, AAA's Traveler's Companion.

The goal is to limit the human impact on the environment; less flying, driving, and fuel consumption (all of which leaves a smaller "eco-footprint"). Farm-fresh fare is also packed with nutrients, doesn't have to be sprayed with chemicals to protect it for the long haul to the restaurant, and just plain tastes good. Everybody wins, from farmer to chef to diner. <p class="textBodyBlack"><span id="byLine"></span>Thinking globally and sourcing locally is not just politically correct, it's also personally rewarding for the farmer. Cynthia Sandberg, the owner of Love Apple Farm, near Santa Cruz, California, supplies the fruit and vegetables for Los Gatos's Manresa restaurant. "It's a very special feeling to see something on a plate prepared by a world-famous chef and be able to recognize the exact vegetable that I picked for him earlier that day," she says.<br /></p><br /><a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/24776331/">COMPLETE ARTICLE</a>MJ's Dad - Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11007333199324358394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21816530.post-5579786905732439892008-03-18T13:11:00.002-08:002008-05-23T11:02:02.967-08:00Paul Myers of Restaurant 515 is nominated the coveted James Beard AwardThe biggest food news in Missoula this week is the inclusion of Paul Myers of Restaurant 515 on the long list of nominees being considered for the coveted James Beard Award given annually by the James Beard Foundation.<br /><br />Myers was nominated in the "Best Chef-Northwest" category - arguably one of the most difficult groups in which to stand out since there are so many talented chefs in the Northwest region.<br /><br />For the last five years, Seattle and Portland have dominated the category, and lesser-known places like Missoula have yet to make it to the party.<br />This year, Myers hopes to grab the brass ring.<br /><br />Both of Myers' mentors in food and fine dining have also made the long list this year: Molecular gastronomy pioneer Wylie Dufresne of "WD-50 Restaurant" - famous for serving better food through chemistry - was nominated in the category for "Best Chef-New York City," and Tom Douglas of Seattle's Tom Douglas Restaurants (which includes eateries like Dahlia Lounge and Palace Kitchen) was nominated for "Outstanding Restaurateur."<br /><br /><a href="http://www.missoulian.com/articles/2008/03/06/entertainer/missoul.txt">COMPLETE ARTICLE</a>MJ's Dad - Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11007333199324358394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21816530.post-29012370345137688142007-12-11T23:16:00.000-09:002007-12-11T23:18:55.539-09:00Open Doors To New Sales With The Grub Club™<p> The Grub Club™ is a free service offering an easy way for restaurants to get their menus online. There are so many restaurants that either do not have a web site or have outdated menus online. The Grub Club™ system makes it easy to keep menus up to date with quick accessibility to the website by the restaurant owner or manager. They can login from any computer with Internet access and update their menus on an as - needed basis. Changes can be made anytime and are updated in real-time. No waiting for someone else to complete the process.</p><p>The Grub Club™ can increase a restaurant’s business at no cost to them. All they have to do is input their menu on the website for marketing on the Internet by The Grub Club™.. Restaurants are encouraged to use the information provided by The Grub Club™ to improve their position with the search engines for even more traffic and customers.</p> <p>How can you benefit from this service? If you are marketing a product or service to restaurants, you know that it is good to warm up a prospect before the sale. Telling them about a free service that can help their business grow is about the best way there is to get an owner or manager interested in talking to you.</p> <p>Recommendation. Go to TheGrubClub.com and look over the website. Notice the list of ways it helps restaurants improve their business through this free online menu service. Also read over the “About Us” page because it tells why the The Grub Club™ was started. Now that you are familiar with the program, call or go into a restaurant you are interested in selling to and ask for the owner or manager. When they arrive tell them about The Grub Club™ and how it can help them improve their business. Be sure to explain the reason for starting it. If they already have a web site, tell them that The Grub Club™ is working to be a centralized location for menus on the Internet. They can go to The Grub Club™ and list their restaurant and the menus and still get more customers because of the access to additional web marketing.</p> <p>Now that you have spent a few minutes talking to the owner/manager, you should have provided some assistance to them in growing their business and found out a little about their business, including the manager's name. At this point, you have also started to develop some rapport with them. If you feel like the time is right, ask them if they are interested in your product or service. Otherwise, give them a flyer on The Grub Club™ and, of course, your business card. Either way you can now call them in a few days and they will know who you are and be willing to talk to you.</p><a href="http://www.thegrubclub.com/news-restaurant/open-doors-sales.htm">Additional Information</a>MJ's Dad - Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11007333199324358394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21816530.post-75845854022954079632007-09-18T21:05:00.002-08:002008-06-17T21:21:08.735-08:00Must menus in California count calories, carbs, fats?<span style="font-weight: bold;">A bill is on the governor's desk, and 4 of 5 state residents back it.

Rather than attacking entrees, take a hard look at your sides. A few mouth watering sides prepared with less costly ingredients will boost profits every time. Buffet guests will consume fewer meat and seafood items if they can't resist a great side dish or salad. A la carte operations should charge for the extra special side dish whenever possible. If you offer guests a full meal with their entree choice, offer the top side dish as an upgrade option.<br /><br />Whenever the guests ask for help ordering from the wait staff, the side should be mentioned along with the entree choices. Perhaps, the dish requires a last minute preparation. Bringing this to the guest's attention can increase orders. Special optional toppings can be used to make an impression.<br /><br />I believe Durgin Park does a phenomenal job of highlighting mouth watering sides, soups and desserts. Whenever I dine at this historic Boston landmark, everyone in the party raves over the traditional accompaniments. The Corn Bread, Baked Beans, Indian Pudding and Clam Chowder are frequently ordered. Newcomers don't have to guess "what's good?" at Durgin Park. The management offers their recipes for all of these favorites on their website. Whether you enjoy the line upstairs, communal tables, waitresses with an attitude or not, the Yankee favorites are top notch.

Once you post your menu and it is verified you can add a directory name and that is your URL. You get a simple web address like www.thegrubclub.com/a/<span style="font-weight: bold;">your-restaurant-name</span>. It is easy to give out on the phone and easy to put in an advertisement.<br /><br />Your menu has to be complete and verified before this option is available. This is done because we don't want anybody to reserving a URL without adding a menu. The point of this site is to add menus.<br /><br /><br />The most recent restaurants to use this feature are:<br /><a href="http://www.thegrubclub.com/a/kingsmill/">Kingsmill Food Mart</a><br /><a href="http://www.thegrubclub.com/a/pauls/">Paul's Pancake Parlor</a><br /><a href="http://www.thegrubclub.com/a/bernices/">Bernice's Bakery</a>MJ's Dad - Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11007333199324358394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21816530.post-63098113477355724092007-08-24T18:15:00.000-08:002007-08-25T22:17:29.335-08:00Receipt System Offers More Nutritional InfoBY JULIE VALLONE - FOR INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY<br />Posted 8/23/2007<br /><br />Imagine ordering lunch and getting a receipt that not only shows your meal's impact on your wallet, but also on your waistline.<br /><br />For diners at several Southern California fast-food restaurants, it's a reality. After buying their meals, they get receipts that also include a custom nutritional breakdown of what they ordered. The receipts display the calories, fat, carbohydrates, protein and nutritional daily value for everything they ordered.<br /><br />Moreover, the receipt shows the impact of customized orders. If you say "Hold the mayo," your receipt will indicate how many calories and fat grams you saved by that decision and how it affected other nutritional categories. If you ask for extra cheese, you'll see how many calories and fat grams were added to your meal, as well as changes in protein and other nutrients.<br /><a href="http://www.investors.com/editorial/IBDArticles.asp?artsec=17&artnum=1&issue=20070823">Complete Article</a><br /><br />Nutrition information could be added to <a href="http://www.thegrubclub.com/">TheGrubClub.com</a> menu system. Then restaurants could give interested patrons that menu rather than on every receipt. Nutrition is a major issue but how many people want to see it every time they have a nice meal out.

For years, Wendy’s signature chili was about the only high-profile entry in this category, which seems a bit strange, given the widespread popularity of broths, bisques, chowders, consommés, and other hot liquid or semi-liquid delicacies.<br /><a href="http://www.qsrmagazine.com/articles/menu_development/105/soups-1.phtml" target="_blank">Complete Article</a><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><a href="http://www.thegrubclub.com/">TheGrubClub.com</a> makes it easy to add new soups to your menu.

Mike was his name and he wanted his menu activated ASAP. His restaurunt was new and they had a ad coming out in the local paper in a few days. I was out of town so I had not checked for new menus and so had not yet activated it. A soon as I returned the following week I activated the menu and Mike was able to advertise it. It is my understaning that he had limited space so was only going to say that it could be found at theGrubClub.com rather than include the entire URL. I checked the site reporting last night and their menu had been viewed 49 times. Since the menu and restauraunt are so new most of that traffic had to have come from the advertizing in the newspaper. That took only about two weeks.<br /><br />This is great news for both of us. That means that it is working for the restaurant and that they are probably getting new customers. It is great news for theGrubClub.com because this shows that it pays to advertise your Grub Club menu. It also shows that restaurant patrons want to see menus online. Since they didn't give their URL all these people took the time to go to theGrubClub.com and search for the menu. If they were not completely interested they never would have wasted there time.<br /><br />This again proves a point I have been trying to make to restaurants. Restaurant patrons want to see the menu online. If you post your menu potential customers will take the time to look at it. We provide the online menu service for Free so if you need more customers do it today.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://technorati.com/faves?sub=addfavbtn&add=http://thegrubclub.blogspot.com"><img src="http://static.technorati.com/pix/fave/tech-fav-1.png" alt="Add to Technorati Favorites" /></a>MJ's Dad - Rickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11007333199324358394noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21816530.post-11495423293659155512007-08-22T07:30:00.000-08:002007-08-22T20:35:49.495-08:00The Grub Club in the News!6/1/07<br />June 2007 Three Rivers Lifestyle Magazine published a really nice article on TheGrubClub and our efforts to use it to support our daughter's medical needs. It can be found at over a 100 locations in the Missoula, Montana area. Pick one up if you see it. It is a very nice magazine.
