<p><strong>Sampling of what we offer:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Complete menu management system</li>
<li>Easily power Facebook from within OpenMenu using our Facebook App, <a href="http://openmenu.com/blog/2011/02/get-your-restaurants-menu-on-facebook/">OpenMenu Tab</a></li>
<li>Connect your menu to Twitter with our OpenMenu Twitter App</li>
<li><a href="http://openmenu.com/blog/2012/10/restaurants-can-now-publish-deals-and-coupons-through-openmenu/">Deals, coupons and specials</a> are now under the control of restaurants instead of 3rd party sites</li>
<li>Restaurant deals can be shown on Facebook using <a href="http://openmenu.com/blog/2013/04/dealtab-easily-gets-restaurant-deals-onto-facebook/">DealTab</a></li>
<li>Go mobile, without effort, as we give all restaurants a free <a href="http://openmenu.com/blog/2013/03/mobile-website-for-restaurants-gets-a-makeover/">mobile restaurant website</a></li>
<li>Custom, detailed analytics on how your restaurant&#8217;s menu is performing</li>
<li>&#8230;plus so much <a href="http://openmenu.com/about.php">more</a></li>
</ul>
<p>Through out the years of OpenMenu we&#8217;ve prided ourselves on innovating in this space and we will continue to do so.  During the summer we will be releasing a new feature, product, that restaurants have asked for and the time is right for the restaurant industry to move in this direction.  This &#8216;product&#8217; will stay inline with our mission of &#8216;restaurants in control&#8217; and we can&#8217;t wait to add this feature to our restaurant platform.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t think because we&#8217;re working on one thing that we don&#8217;t have time for further expansion because we do.  <a href="http://openmenu.com/contact.php">Contact us</a>, tell us what you want out of a <em>complete restaurant platform</em>.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="size-full wp-image-738 aligncenter" title="OpenMenu Deals" src="http://openmenu.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/openmenu-deal.jpg" alt="" width="619" height="163" /></p>
<p>OpenMenu has a new standard, the <a href="http://openmenu.org/openmenu-deals.php">OpenMenu Deals</a> standard, and we&#8217;ve fully incorporated the deals/coupons into OpenMenu for restaurants.  What this means is restaurants can now fully manage their deals and coupons without the need for high-markup 3rd party companies being involved.  Your deals, your coupons, published across your online world.  From your mobile site to Facebook to your website, OpenMenu is fully supporting the new deals standard.</p>
<p><strong> Restaurants get three big advantages using OpenMenu Deals</strong></p>
<ol>
<li>No high markup.  Deals and coupons are included in Premium+ and Platinum accounts with no additional cost.</li>
<li>Deals and coupons are in front of your customers and potential customers not deal hunters.  This means people interested in your restaurant are getting a deal and are more likely to become a repeat customer.  Deal hunters don&#8217;t convert to repeat customers.</li>
<li>Socially connected.  Not only do we provide the mechanism to push your deals to Twitter and Facebook (see image below) at any time using our powerful social integration but we also automatically connect your deals to your menu on Facebook through <a href="http://openmenu.com/network/openmenu-tab">OpenMenu Tab</a></li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-757 aligncenter" title="Sharing a deal on Facebook" src="http://openmenu.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/deal_facebook_share.jpg" alt="Facebook Share" width="492" height="189" /><em>Facebook Share &#8211; sample</em></p>
<p><strong>Restaurants can manage their deals at OpenMenu</strong></p>
<p>With our powerful, and easy to use, Deal manager restaurants can <a title="Add a Deal to Your OpenMenu" href="http://openmenu.com/help/adding-a-deal-coupon">manage their deals in real time</a>.  Setup a deal, publish live and your deal appears on Facebook, mobile site and your <a href="http://openmenu.com/blog/2012/11/openmenu-wordpress-plugin-1-6-10/">website</a>.  Nothing else needs to be done.  Want to promote your deal?  Use our powerful social integration and push your deal to Facebook (your personal page, your restaurant&#8217;s page, a group &#8211; you have the option) and/or Twitter.  Don&#8217;t want the deal to run anymore just turn it off or delete it all together.  Restaurants stay in control.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-744 aligncenter" title="Add Deal Dialog" src="http://openmenu.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/add_deal_dialog.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="546" /></p>
<p>The power of our deal manager allows restaurants to define a daily deal, coupon, happy hour special and <a href="http://openmenu.com/help/different-types-of-deals-and-coupons">much more</a>.  This new feature is all about control and giving that control back to restaurants.</p>
<p>Want more?  We give you the stats on how your deals are performing.  How many deals have been viewed for your restaurant and a 7 day trend.</p>
<p><img class="size-full wp-image-746 aligncenter" title="Deal Stats" src="http://openmenu.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2012/10/deal_stats.jpg" alt="" width="227" height="82" /></p>
<p>This is just the start for the new <a href="http://openmenu.org/openmenu-deals.php">OpenMenu Deals</a> standard and implementing it across the OpenMenu Platform.  We are working with distribution partners to get the restaurant&#8217;s deals and coupons out across our large network.</p>
<p>The powerful mobile site given to all restaurants on the OpenMenu Platform is fully equipped to handle deals and coupons placing them in a place sure to entice viewers.  Publish a deal and it automatically appears on the restaurant&#8217;s mobile site.</p>

<p><em>note: Deals and Coupons are available to Premium+ and Platinum accounts only</em></p>
