The first thing that any restaurant should do – whether it is about to be opened or whether it is already opened – is to set up a social media presence. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest are especially user-friendly and are a great way for restaurants to connect with current patrons as well as a way to inform future patrons about their unique approach to cuisine. Because social media profiles are so visually receptive, posting lots of pictures of food and of the restaurant itself is highly recommended, share the reputation experts at Reputation Maxx. Social media is a great way to inform people about new specials, what is the latest news at the restaurant, new menu items and much more.

Online reputation management for restaurants also involved being aware of what people are saying about the restaurant. Google the name of the restaurant periodically, taking note of where certain things are on the restaurant's online landscape. There are also several monitoring programs that can allow restaurants to keep an even more vigilant eye on their online reputations.

Reputation Maxx also recommends that restaurants respond directly to what others are saying about them on the Internet and especially to those patrons that tag pictures and posts on social media accounts. Thank them for coming in to the restaurant and provide them with a discount code for the next time they visit. Incentivizing people to visit a restaurant is extremely easy through the use of social media. Online reputation management for restaurants also involves apologizing to those who did not have the ideal dining experience, reaching out to the diners, and changing their minds about their meal.
