Ok, I realise I'm no spring chicken, but surely I cannot be the only one to ask why restaurants no longer have usable websites. Instagram is NOT usable. I need to know the following things: menu + prices, location, and hours. I don't care about beautifully lit professional pictures of the food or the ambience. That's not how I'll decide whether to go or not. I need information. Is that so hard???
 
@ADob It is one the main reasons why restaurants fail in the modern era. To be successful they should all have a well-developed, functioning website that is easy to navigate and mine for the information that you seek. You have hit the nail squarely on its head!
 
There's no reason not to have menu, hours, location, reservation etc on a website. Wix and other services are ridiculously easy these days to do yourself.

That said, instagram is the main social platform to promote your business these days. You need to have a plan to promote yourself, people are generally not going to just find out where your restaurant is and start going.
 
Another thing is have your restaurants Google profile up to date with hours, menu, maybe some interior shots, etc. People use that a lot when they hear about a restaurant and want to visit it later or when they're just searching up an area for places to eat.

Also, for any potential restaurants looking for a new way to promote your restaurant, I will rent my forum signature out. $100/mo for advertising use. Guaranteed I make at least a post per day. 2500 existing posts seen by Edmontonians daily. Top notch visibility. HMU

Another Ukrainian restaurant mere blocks away from the new Ukrainian restaurant taking over the Dalla space. It will be interesting to see if there's enough demand to sustain both.

Also was recently back in town. Was lucky enough to try Nero - food was great, cocktails great, good wine and beer list. Wandered over to slow pour after for a night cap.

Then had Atrium by Sabor for lunch - excellent food quality and the atmosphere is quietly elevated and professional. I regret that I was unable to try the crema de Catalonia donut.
