Participation in social media demands more active planning than simply signing up for an account and then posting the details of today’s lunch specials or next month’s wine dinner.

To that end, R&I rounded up a team of experts to offer operators the following user’s guide to social media.

Don and I, and our guests, would like to let you know, what a wonderful experience we had with Chef Jono, Saturday Aug.16 / 08 Chef Jono started us off with four wonderful appetizers, followed by his Signature Wedding Bouquet Salad. Our main course was the beef dish, and the black cod dish, which were both very tasty. We found Chef Jono very entertaining and full of an abundance of information for everyone, from Barbequing, to product information. Very helpful to know, what is actually in some of the food which we consume every day. Once again BRAVO TO CHEF JONO. We would most definitely, welcome Chef Jono back to our home.

We ate too much but it was sooooooooo worth it!
