Getting Reviewed - What are the chances you'll convince a customer to write a (hopefully positive) review of your business? Pretty difficult. Mike Blumenthal looks at the numbers.
Find the Flag - Fast casuals and QSRs are starting to use RFID technology to find customers and deliver food. Instead of searching around for a physical flag or number, customers are handed a tag that lead the employee right to them. via PizzaMarketplace.com
Spot You - Cover, a restaurant payments company, enables you to split checks with your friends. But just in case they don't have the app, Cover will pay for their portion of the check, allowing the friend 7 days to download the app and pay. Pretty smart way to encourage adoption and downloads. via VentureBeat
Campfire Sauce on the Small Screen - Red Robin (yummmm) has decided to roll out Ziosk tablets systemwide in 2015. The tablets will allow customers to play games, order, sign up for loyalty, and pay at the table. via Nation's Restaurant News
Innovation in Food - You and I know this, but the food and restaurant industry is filled with innovators. SXSW Interactive has responded by rolling out bigger and better programming dedicated to the subject - South Bites. It's so exciting! See y'all in March, friends.
