USE OF SMS IN RESTAURANTS AND CAFÉS
SMS is a booming industry; it has become an income opportunity for several restaurants over the past year and Restaurants are dramatically increasing their usage of text messages to deliver a much targeted, time sensitive message directly to the pockets of their patrons. In addition to general, timed messages, restaurants can deliver an instant message to their clients to help boost business on a slow day.
Text messages have a 90% read rate and a 25% response rate. With text message coupons, your promotional message is in their hands at all times, increasing the chances of them patronizing your establishment.
By sending SMS to customers of restaurants, pizzerias and cafes, you can increase traffic and sales and help people remember your establishment. What’s more, you can offer a booking service or announce promotions in quieter periods. SMS mobile marketing is increasingly used in the catering sector, especially because the cost of SMS pizzerias and SMS restaurants is much lower than flyers or magazine/radio advertising, with a high ROI. The SMS service is very simple to use from any PC.
One can generate interest in special events and use last-minute messages to ensure that every single table is occupied.

You can automatically have bookings forwarded to your own IT system or email address, to share it with your staff.

Restaurants can send thank you messages to customers who have spent lunches or dinners there. They can then send more texts (e.g. birthday greetings with discount vouchers) to make the relationship last and encourage repeat bookings.
