How Would I Find Your Restaurant?

So we need to look at what is Marketing? “Because the purpose of business is to create a customer, the business enterprise has two–and only two–basic functions: marketing and innovation. Marketing and innovation produce results; all the rest are costs. Marketing is the distinguishing, unique function of the business.” Peter Drucker, The Practice of Management, 1954 So Marketing attracts customers (clients), and innovation is how you figure out smarter ways to deliver your promise. Everything else is, in essence, simply about keeping score and supporting these processes.

Attract and deliver. That’s business in a nutshell

So if we put this into Restaurant context, that would be Attracting more Customers & serving delicious food efficiently. We have covered delivering your food with Articles on Combi Ovens, Blast Chillers. So we should look as a prospective customer would find your Cafe Restaurant. Let me paint this scenario that happen to me last week. I invited a friend to catch up for dinner at Brighton Le Sands. Here’s the quick backstory. My friend was only free this day, but they had to rush off by 9:00 pm to the airport to pick somebody up. I live on the Northern Beaches so don’t know the area very well. So I needed to find a place to meet at. So you get the picture, I'm going take you through my journey in discovering a suitable place to have dinner in Brighton Le Sands. So I'm going to share my steps & Marketing lessons you can learn from finding a restaurant. Just in case you think I’m picking on Brighton Le Sands, I choose this area because I don’t have preconceived ideas because I haven't eaten there before. I actually did have dinner at Brighton last Week. So look this with 2 hats on. 1st as a person looking for a restaurant & 2nd as a marketer. Ok?
