Thanks to the Diningverse Team and this innovative website I have been able to spend less time, less money and know our web presence is always keeping pace with ever changing social media. Responses to inquiries are always rapid and reliable. The periodic updates and improvements are an indication that this team pays close attention to the feedback it receives. New functionality, like D’Scoop and Multiple Menus, show up without additional cost. I love that I can quickly and easily make periodic changes to our site at a time convenient for me. I can’t think of a better, more cost efficient web marketing tool for independent restaurant owners.

Alice DeGeorgeAlice DeGeorge, Owner @ Presque Isle Printing Services

Diningverse is truly one of the most innovative ways to market a restaurant on the Internet. I am the Diningverse manager for two restaurants, The Plymouth Tavern and Brewerie at Union Station. In addition to managing these restaurant profiles, I pull together any printing and marketing materials they desire to maintain their branding. Diningverse enables me to assure my restaurant customers that their restaurant information is always current and that it is seamlessly connected to social networks such as Facebook and Twitter, so vital to marketing today. I highly recommend Diningverse to restaurants as well as restaurant marketing agencies looking for an efficient, inexpensive way to promote an independent restaurant on the Internet.

Thank you Diningverse team. I have had a wonderful experience working with our full profile. It was a snap to setup all the details for our restaurant and I look forward to future advancements on Diningverse. I really like how the Multiple Menus work and how easy it is to adjust our menu items.

How did you come up with the idea for Diningverse?

November 24, 2009 – 8:00 am

We believe that every restaurant should be able to have a good website and that the deciding factor for online exposure should be the quality of food and service rather than the online marketing budget.

It’s not the “flashiness” or the “beauty of the site design” that make restaurant website good. It’s the freshness of the content and richness of the information the site visitors get when they visit the site.

Just like the food restaurants serve … if the dish looks great but the ingredients are not fresh, the meal still sucks!

Why some restaurants don’t have a menu listed?

November 23, 2009 – 8:00 am

These restaurants have been suggested by Diningverse patrons but the profile has not yet been claimed by the restaurant owner.  The info on the restaurant is very basic and that’s why we call it a “basic” profile. These profiles may get up to five recommendations and are always listed below the full profiles (these ones do have a menu listed).

Why are there no negative comments about the restaurants?

November 20, 2009 – 8:00 am

Diningverse patrons use the site to find local dining gems.  If you were looking for a place to dine, you wouldn’t ask someone where they’ve had their worst experiences. An occasional mishap at a restaurant should not give it a bad name. The Diningverse positive approach uses recommendations and rewards restaurateurs who concentrate their efforts on pleasing their customers. The best restaurants get the most recommendations and that floats them to the top of the Diningverse listing. If you don’t like a restaurant, don’t recommend it. Optionally, send them your ‘complaint’ using the contact area of their profile.

Why don’t you list chain restaurants?

November 19, 2009 – 8:00 am

Chain restaurants (franchises) typically have their own marketing departments or spend considerable coin on external marketing agencies. Independent restaurant owners generally do not have the marketing dollars to dedicate to this.  We believe the deciding factor for online exposure should be the quality of the food and service rather than the online marketing budget.

Why are some restaurants not listed?

November 18, 2009 – 8:00 am

When deciding how to populate Diningverse, we chose to let our patrons suggest and recommend their favorite restaurants, after all, they are the ones using Diningverse to find great local restaurants. Diningverse is literally being populated by the Diningverse community. So if you don’t see your favorite restaurant listed, go ahead and suggest it.

Is Diningverse a restaurant directory?

November 17, 2009 – 8:00 am

Diningverse is MUCH MORE than the usual restaurant directory. You can find detailed information about the best local restaurants including Menus, Specials, Photo Galleries and more. Best of all, you can keep track of the restaurants your friends recommend, let your friends know which restaurants you like, create your own restaurant directory and keep it handy or send it to your friends, stay on top of what’s happening in the restaurants within your area, and much more.
