Facebook - a restaurant table
Facebook is slowly becoming a handy tool for each and every materialistic thing available. For instance one who wishes to dine-out can check the menus and offers available at different restaurants via simply logging to their Facebook account.
The Restaurateurs too feel that it is a great platform for promoting their latest offers and at the same time post new menus for the users, on the social networking platform.
According to Sohrab Sitaram of Tabula Rasa and Chi Kitchen & Bar in Saket, "It's a great way to keep in touch with customers. They scribble on the wall to book a table and we block it. Many also post experiences of dining here. We give equal weightage to people booking through FB or the phone."
The owner of Gunpowder, Hauz Khas Village, Satish Warrier has moved up the ladder and accepts booking via Facebook and as he states: "Many of our permanent clients just drop in a message on our page and we oblige them. Given the number of people on social networking sites, the trend will only flourish."
Many feel this is a great step in adhering to the needs of people.
A few of the other eateries who cater this service are Big Chill Café (Khan Market), Smoke House Grill (Masjid Moth) and Magique (Saket).
