Great Taste Magazine 2013 November December issue we report on entrepreneurs and restaurateurs that are using technology and “Keeping App with the Times”.
Entrepreneurs and restaurateurs are “Keeping App with the Times” by developing innovative means of integrating technology into their restaurants and riding the constant wave of creativity in the technology world. Technological advances, namely those that come in the form of apps, have made restaurants more successful, people more social (albeit behind a computer screen or smart phone) and have spread the love of great food to “plugged in” foodies everywhere.
We spoke to Tal Zvi Nathanel of MyCheck, an up and coming app prominent in Israel with future goals of infiltrating the foodie scene in SoCal. We also partnered with IT Mentor, San Diego’s premier application development company, to create our very own Great Taste Magazine app which keeps readers connected with the whos, whats and whens of the OC restaurant industry.
James Wall and Greg Nagel, recent additions to the Great Taste team, are introduced in this issue and can be seen on the website by way of our weekly Ask A Wino and Craft Beer 101 Q&As. Are you a restaurant owner weighing the pros and cons of hiring a consultant? We break down what you should know and consider before making your next move. With so much importance being placed on keeping app with the times, it is easy to forget what lies beneath a restaurant’s Facebook or decked out iPad menu. There are five key areas that are in danger of being overlooked in the midst of the technology apocalypse-turn to page 14 to read all about them. The likes of Pie Not and Heywood Grilled Cheese Shoppe prove that fast casual eateries are on the rise to becoming go to locales for quality, convenient meals.
