New Internet-Based Restaurant Guide Build for the Owners

June 16, 2005 -- The Can World Trade Directory announces the introduction of one of the Internets most advanced and innovative Restaurant Guides. Incorporated as a special category publication within the CAN World Trade Directory, the Restaurant Guide has a number of management resources not found in most present day guides.

After conducting a worldwide survey involving thousands of restaurants the initial concept was unanimously confirmed from the feedback received. Yes, the owners/managers contacted agreed, they wanted the service proposed and would be prepared to sign up.

Not only did the survey support the project many respondents suggested various additions to those stated. As a result of this feedback many of the features requested have been incorporated in the Restaurant Guide.

The WTD Restaurant Guide offers the business owner/manager with their own website a number of resources which include:
• Multi currency facility
• Online, phone, fax table reservation tool
• Photograph and virtual tour function–
• Private discussion forum
• Searchable document management system
• Recipes
• Wine and drinks reviews
• Diners feedback review management system
• Takeaway ordering service
• Annual Prestige Award
• Job vacancy facility.

Providing resources to the Restaurant Guide will be an ongoing function as further associated guides are brought online.

To the owner/manager who does not have a website CAN has a cost effective build and hosting package. To the owner/manager who does not feel the need for a website their advertisements will be seen just the same as the restaurants with websites.

For the diner the WTD Restaurant Guide website enables them to search for a venue in the area they wish to visit and from the wealth of information given about cuisine and facilities, select a restaurant and make an online, phone or fax booking directly or through the World Trade Directory head office reservation service.

The Restaurant Guide is the first guide to be released within the WTD special categories group. The guides that follow within this group will compliment and link with the Restaurant Guide.

Throughout 2005 the CAN WTD will be adding other types of businesses to the special categories. As with the Restaurant Guide the contents/resources of these listings will be based on those asked for or suggested by survey respondents. It is a firm commitment of the CAN WTD that potential advertisers have the tools they want and not what they are told they need.
