• Secondly it help you to send those mobile coupons. Remember on Twitter you can only write 140 characters or less. This is perfect for coupons that can be sent direct to your customers cell phone in the form of short message service (sms) or can be accessed directly from their web access enabled mobile devices like iPhone or gPhone . You can decide to send a coupon on a rainy day to influence your customer’s decision to come to you restaurant rather than order pizza from the pizza restaurant or it could be vise versa. The question is who takes the first initiative. So even with in the restaurant competitive industry it will be very vital to adopt to this new emerging technology like twitter to make your digital oriented customers chose your restaurant over your competitor’s. That’s why who ever understand this and implement the technology provided by twitter at free will win and the other restaurant who still believes in the primitive age marketing ideas and are hiding their heads under the sand will one day wake up to realize that they now don’t even have their customers who have chosen more digital style of life and thus making his restaurant obsolete in the modern technology restaurant age.

• Thirdly it helps you to  monitor  the feed backs of your customers  about your restaurant on twitter. You can relax and enjoy the good public relation that you get while all your customers are raving about the great vibe of your restaurant. On the other hand you can detect early any not so good public relation  that is floating may be due to bad dining experience or what ever reason it might be  and you will have a chance to know about it and rectify the problem in early stage and cool down the situation.
