It is convenient, and easily accessible for anyone with an internet connection. <br /><br />I love things that make life easier. :-)Deborahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15494174579808436497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4384692836709903146.post-36330085454601138642010-08-06T03:15:09.802-07:002010-08-06T03:15:09.802-07:00Nora's is great. Sometimes I think that making...Nora's is great. Sometimes I think that making EVERYTHING organic (including the staff's uniforms) is a bit much, but it's still pretty great. Another "commitment to the environment" restaurant in DC is Hook in Georgetown.<br /><br />Opentable's business model isn't quite exactly as you describe it, but close enough. There's a pricing matrix and many different ways the restaurant can pay for the service depending on what they want and need. So it's not just a flat rate per person. The restaurant can pay a flat-rate per month or year. There's also different levels of support for different pricing.<br /><br />I always thought it would be cool to have OT have a professional services division so a larger restaurant/chain can use SOA to hook their OT data into their inventory systems or POS systems. That way an owner can do real Business Intelligence on their product. In fact, I was thinking of writing a restaurant middleware. Imagine real-time waitstaff knowing that there's just one piece of salmon left and the guy who just walked in usually orders salmon. Or knowing Dr. Halamka walked in and he always gets the vegan risotto and this time the kitchen can make him some different vegan thing that's special just today. <br /><br />Just like in healthcare, systems are powerful, but they're way more powerful if they talk to each other.Bernzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16451988884915833897noreply@blogger.com
