Watch the video interview where J.R. Cohen, Operations Manager for CoffeeGroundz (@coffeegroundz) Cafe in Houston, Texas talks about the Twitter and how it has helped him promote his coffee shop.

He explains how he initially got introduced to Twitter and also how he managed to get over 1000 followers within couple of weeks of using Twitter.  He jokes about the first Twitter order that he took for the Wrap sandwich ordered by his customer Sean. This is one thing that most of the restaurants might not even have thought about it. But the fact that J.R. Cohen has successfully taken the first Twitter order in his coffee shop, it opens another possibilities for an alternative option to online order especially during the busy breakfast, lunch or dinner time. He also talks about how he has integrated his Twitter into his Face book page. By integrating these powerful social medial tools, you can create your community, communicate with them and promote your business.More importantly provide service or product effectively and efficiently.

I hope this interview will give an insight to the power of Twitter and how it can help promote your restaurant. Please feel free to provide your feedbacks and we would love to hear this kind of success stories that can help small businesses like your restaurant and many around the world.
