How API works? To understand this , lets understand, How menu card works in a restaurant ? Imagine you are at a restaurant. You, the customer, want to order food. The menu is like an API, it shows you what dishes are available and what you can ask for. You (the client) select what you want from the menu (make a request). Then, the waiter (the server) takes your order to the kitchen (the backend). The kitchen prepares your food (processes your request) and gives it back to the waiter. Finally, the waiter brings your food back to you (returns the response), and you enjoy your meal. So, API is like a restaurant menu that lets you request specific things from a system and receive a response. Client - customer Server - waiter Backend - kitchen

This one mistake costs restaurants THOUSANDS of dollars each year. You ever sit down at a restaurant and the server takes a little longer than usual to come and greet you? Well, with each passing minute the check size gets smaller and smaller. Let me explain. The first thing you do when you sit down is “get everyone started with some drinks”. High margin items. Let’s say you want to turn tables every 90 minutes. For argument sake, let’s say each drink last 30 minutes. (3 people at the table x 3 rounds ) x $15 drinks = $135 Now let’s say the server on average is a couple minutes late to each new round. By the time they come to get you your last round you’re in the middle of dessert and have a much higher chance of turning down that last drink. Let’s say this happens 10% of the time. It happens more but I’m feeling nice this morning. 40 tables a weekend night x .1 = 4 missed tables x 2.5 average party size = 10 missed drinks x 2 nights ( Friday & Saturday) = 20 missed drinks x 52 weeks = 1,040 missed drinks x $15 a drink = $15,600 a year in missed revenue. I would say that this happens more times than not when I go out to eat. It’s impossible to be perfect but I wanted to illustrate how the little things can go a long way into your top and bottom lines. Have you ever noticed this when you go out to eat? If you haven’t, you will now. Sorry. #restaurant #restaurantowner #hospitalityindustry

HOW HEAVY IS YOUR CUTLERY? A study showed that customers were given the same food in a restaurant, the only difference being the cutlery. One set of customers were given better quality heavier cutlery.

So how can you make the "cutlery" in your business heavier and better quality??? #cutlery #leicester #accountantsinleicester

In a survey of over 500 diners going to restaurants, 70% said they would go to a restaurant with bad service if their food was good. Is that the same for you?  Read more in the link below about how diners’ reasons for choosing a restaurant; it has always been my belief that the intent in going to a location is the whole idea of proximity advantage, AKA “location, location, location” So, would you go to a restaurant with bad service but good food?  https://lnkd.in/gAGetJ2D

Why do we highlight dishes, not restaurants? Because we believe that the food served at the restaurant is the most important factor in determining your overall experience. You can have the best service, great atmosphere, convenient parking, but without good food, everything else falls apart. Let people know what the best dishes are everywhere you eat.
