Posted on by

Dedham, Mass. (PRWEB) October 21, 2011

DAngelo Grilled Sandwiches unveiled a new test menu at its flagship Dedham restaurant today which features two new options Build Your Own Sandwich and Choose Any Two. DAngelo introduced the test menu to provide guests with more variety and to give them the ability to create unique sandwiches customized to their personal tastes. The plan is to roll out the new menu to the rest of the chain by the beginning of next year.

DAngelos Build Your Own sandwich guides guests to build great, unique sandwiches that appeal to them individually. Guests can choose among more than 35 ingredients to pick their favorite meat, bread, cheese, toppings and spreads in order to make their sandwich exactly the way they want it.

The Choose Any Two option allows guests to choose any two of the following for a set price: any half sandwich, wrap or pokket, any cup of soup or any half salad. Now guests can order half of any sandwich on the menu as part of Choose Any Two including hot, cold or Build Your Own sandwiches.

DAngelo will continue to offer popular menu items like the Steak & Cheese, Number 9, Steak Bomb, and Thanksgiving Toasted, as well as Signature Sandwiches like the Cranberry Pecan Chicken Salad and the seasonal Lobster Sandwich. In addition, guests can select the Pound It! option on any large steak sandwich which allows them to upgrade to one full pound of steak for just $ 2 more.

Our new test menu gives our guests more choices while keeping all of the DAngelo favorites, said Pete Bell, Chief Marketing Officer of DAngelo Grilled Sandwiches.

Sarasota, FL (PRWEB) June 13, 2012

Many restaurant owners are beginning to recognize the significance of restaurant POS systems and how they are utilized on a daily basis. While these systems are able to handle transactions, orders, schedules, and many other factors, it seems that their true potential is just beginning to become recognized. Most notably, Westshore Processing has begun releasing information indicating that there are many changes that are about to happen in regards to POS systems and their technology.

The most beneficial factor for many businesses is that these systems are fully customizable. This is a great change from the systems of the past that were only able to handle basic commands and tasks. Customizable systems can be used for almost any type of business and can be adjusted as needed to meet the needs of both clients and employees. As POS systems continue to progress, they are becoming more customizable than ever before. Every employee can be given their own password for logging into the system. This can be an ideal option for tracking what employees are doing and how many sales they are making within a typical day. Owners can easily monitor employee accountability and reduce any risks of errors that are made within the rush of dealing with multiple clients.

Though there continues to be a noteworthy percentage of businesses that have not yet upgraded to using POS systems, there are increasingly more upgrades as business owners learn about how POS systems can make their business run more efficiently and improve the overall experience for customers. Additionally, it is anticipated that as these systems continue to change, more businesses will eventually upgrade in order to ensure that they have the most up-to-date technology.

Norwalk, CT (PRWEB) May 24, 2012

The days of poorly-designed restaurant websites may finally be coming to an end. Restaurant Engine has launched their restaurant website design solution, helping restaurants turn all of those hungry online visitors into customers.

What makes Restaurant Engine so appealing to restaurateurs is that its completely turnkey: Restaurants get stunning website design, hosting, a WordPress-powered back-end, and personal consultation, all packaged in an affordable monthly subscription model. Theres even a free trial so restaurants can take their new website for a test run.

We collaborate with some of the most talented web designers in the industry (who normally charge thousands for a custom website design) to give restaurants a level of quality that creates more credibility for their business on the web, says founder and lead web designer, Brian Casel.

For restaurants, boosting ones credibility online really pays off. The Pew Research Center released a study showing that the Internet is the number one source people turn to for information about local restaurants. Another recent study shows 75% of visitors judge a website’s credibility based on the quality of it’s design.

Todays restaurant customers arent only using their computers to surf the web. Smartphones and tablets like the iPhone and iPad account for a huge chunk of Internet traffic especially when you consider most people searching for restaurants are already out and about using their mobile device. Thats why Restaurant Engine provides restaurants with a mobile website, built in, without the need for additional apps or setup.

The feature I like most about Restaurant Engine is the mobile optimization and simplicity of setting up the site. Practically, everything is already there and one only needs to plug in their content, says a user of the service.

Other features Restaurant Engine users can take advantage of include managing food menus, photo galleries, online reservations, events calendars, and more. Since its built on WordPress, the webs leading content management system, its easy to add a blog and manage unlimited web pages.

Social media and search engine optimization (SEO) round out the product, giving restaurants all of the tools they need to market their business online and spur word-of-mouth promotion on social networks like Facebook, Twitter, and Foursquare.
