My
brain is a search engine and I should quit my job, nah I’d miss Caro
too much, and become a consultant for people looking for a place to eat
or drink something.
Everyday
I get asked the same question. A place to celebrate with friends,
partners, other school-parents, overseas visitors or their kid’s
birthday lunch with the family?
“Not too expensive, quite chilled, and the food MUST be good”.
I’d sit at home at my non-existent pool and churn out recommendations. At a charge of R20 a pop.
But
wait – surely something online can already do that? Well yes, but how
personalized can that be, the machine does not know you like I do? Or
does it?
Soon my lovelies.
We are busy building a search
engine that will blow (and read) your mind. So we need to ask you some
questions about what you search for when you are looking for a place to
celebrate.
If you own a restaurant or dine out a lot here is the big question?
WHAT IS YOUR RESTAURANT #goodfor?
Is it child-friendly? Do you serve the best steaks in town? Free wi-fi? Barristas that have won awards? Craft beer? Massive screens for sportsfans? Courtyard with beer on tap? On tap!
Pizza oven? Seafood to trump all seafood? Deck? Sushi? Romance? And of course… a view?
Cocktails? World class cocktails!
Fireplace? Great wine list? Hot curries. Burgers that people will catch the Gautrain for? Fine dining?
Chilled vibe with good food? Gastropub?
Tell us what YOU look for. Let us know people! Tweet us @food24 or visit our Facebook page, like us, and comment! Tell us which restaurants you visit and why? What is it best known for?
Joburg, Cape Town, Durban, PE, Poffadder, Plett, Clarens, Colesburg – we want the whole country to take part.
#goodfor campaign
We’re
going to be running the “What is Your Restaurant Good For?” campaign
for the month of August and the best #goodfor recommendations we get
will be getting R250 Kalahari vouchers – and they are having a sale! Yes, we’ll be giving them away
left, right and centre as you tweet us @food24 with your #goodfor shout outs.
Then my friends, then we are going to launch it. THE search engine to melt all search engines.
Happy International Beer Day. Whew. I feel like a beer…
