Word of Mouth Marketing: How Smart Restaurants Get People Talking

Photo: Krista Baltroka – shout - //flic.kr/p/dZzhWF It has often been said we "eat with our eyes,"" When I'm looking for a new place to go out to dinner, I almost always solicit the advice of friends and family for recommendations. And not-so-surprisingly, I'm not alone in this sentiment. 78% of restaurant diners said they are likely to base their choice on a friend’s recommendation, according to Toast’s Restaurant Technology Industry Report.

Fully 41.29 percent of millennials admit that they shelled out more on lattes, cappuccinos and other coffee drinks in the past year than they invested in retirement plans, according to Acorns’ first annual "Money Matters Report," which was drawn from data collected from the responses of 1,900 millennials, ages 18 to 35, who responded to questions on SurveyMonkey...
