How is Your Restaurant Brand Leveraging Social Media Technology?

How is Your Restaurant Brand Leveraging Social Media Technology?It's harder these days to visit a restaurant and not see a Yelp! or FourSquare Check In sticker on the window. Social media icons like those from Facebook, Twitter and Google + are also proudly displayed on restaurant websites and marketing material. It's clear that the consumer's love for social media should not be ignored but rather embraced and used as leverage for your own branding and marketing purposes.There are many web tools to help you promote your restaurant using social media. But did you know that there are also hardware options for this too? We recently came across a nifty social media device at a Lollicup tea shop that allows patrons to snap digital photos of themselves inside the store and post them on social media sites like Facebook and Twitter for free. The product is called iSnap and essentially serves as a modern photo-booth with branding capabilities. This sleek device stands up as a vertical kiosk and has a small footprint. There are other similar devices on the market as well such as Social Kiosk Solutions, also suitable for events and placement in your storefront.See a Social Media Kiosk in action
