Site sells menus, kitchen equipment and ... IP services?
So you're opening a new restaurant? Your biggest challenge is finding vendors for the dozens of services you'll need before you serve your first meal: kitchen equipment, menus, payroll services, small wares, exterior and interior signage, Internet, Wi-Fi, credit card processing--and more.
There's now a unique website that lists all those disparate services in one place, with a way to contact each company quickly and painlessly. There's even a leasing agent on the site that can provide financing for any of the goods and services you choose.
The site, http://www.ememberbenefits.com/mugandmenu went live July 14 and its owners believe it will reduce the headaches and guesswork restaurant owners face when looking for goods and services at discounted prices.
Most, if not all, of the services restaurant owners require can be found on the Mug and Menu site. The vendors on the site were chosen from more than a million companies around the country, and were picked based on their low rates and wide range of services.
Where else can a restaurant owner find these sources so quickly?
--Health insurance programs for employees
--Payroll services and benefit programs for employees, including HR and payroll reporting functions online, with time clock interface and many more features, all for the price of payroll
--Custom menu covers from any material, including leather, cork, copper or metal foil, wood, anything that matches your theme, even lighted menus, wine lists, cocktail menus, table tents, check presenters, and even bound guest registries. The services include menu design and printing
--Kitchen equipment and installation, including Groenig, Vulcan, and other top brands
--Wholesale wireless/mobile telecom services
--Discounted telecom network platforms from Covad, Seimens, other providers
--IT platforms, including cloud computing, business management solutions
--Web page design and portal creation
--Architectural and restaurant construction services for build-outs, renovations, expansions, and repair work
--Promotional items such as restaurant uniforms, kitchen uniforms, baseball caps, Polo shirts, coffee mugs, whatever you can imagine with your restaurant's logo on it.
When you peruse the site, you will see buttons with each company's logo that represents the services and equipment you'd like to investigate.
When you click on each company's logo, it opens to reveal information about the company's offerings and services. You will be contacted by a representative from each company you choose.
The Mug and Menu site is a great source of information for harried restaurant owners who have little time to shop for the best prices for the services that will fit their needs. It just doesn't get easier than this website.
The Mug and Menu site was designed by Jon Finkelstein, principal, and Lucas McCann, marketing and advertising director of Peritus Affinity Partners LLC. The Herndon-based company provides discounted goods and services portals for restaurant franchisees, national and state associations, corporations, and other organizations. Jon lives in Asburn and Lucas lives in Falls Church.
