IntraRestaurant v2.1
Associated with our IntraPublisher Entertainment product suite, Intrade Solutions have developed a web solution specifically for Restaurants called "IntraRestaurant". This unique solution is packaged as a website along with a Content Management System (CMS).

The CMS allows restaurant owners/managers to update the most relevant sections on the website themselves (i.e. food menus, wine menus, news, reviews, etc.) without any advanced IT knowledge necessary. It allows for a tailored, comprehensive and cost effective web presence whilst taking into account all the needs of a restaurant.

Once development is complete Intrade Solutions provides full training so that the restaurant owner/manager has complete control over the administration of the website and can edit and change the key areas of the website as they wish.

Functionality:

• Manage Food & Wine Menus
• Manage News & Reviews Articles
• Manage Mailing List

Updateable and Manageable

• Secure access to the administration area will allow you to update the Food menus, Wine menus and N ews & Reviews sectors of the website.
• We have similar systems set up for clients who may access their databases from any PC around the world.

• Training will be provided in using the system to a member of staff.

Website Layout
The homepage of the website allows users to access all the major sections of the website through a clear navigational structure. In addition, it provides a brief introduction to the restaurant. Also advertised on the homepage are relevant news articles (set by the site administrator, i.e. restaurant owner/manager).

The main sections on the website are as follows:


Restaurant:
This area provides further information on the premises. Additional photos may also be displayed here.

Food Menus: Fully Managed by Restaurant Owner
This section displays all food menus for the restaurant. There is no limit to the number of menus that the owner incorporates into the website. Menus such as Lunch, Early Bird, Daily Specials, A La Carte, Christmas Menus, and so on can easily be added, edited or deleted by the restaurant owner. Printer friendly menus are available also.

Wine Menus: Fully Managed by Restaurant Owner
This section includes all wine menus for the restaurant. There is no limit to the amount of wine menus that the restaurant owner incorporates into the website. Menus such as Red Wines, White Wines, Champagnes and so on can easily be added, edited or deleted by the restaurant owner. Printer friendly menus are available also.

News & Reviews: Fully Managed by Restaurant Owner
This section is broken up into two categories, News & Reviews. The sector can include articles on all aspects of the restaurant such as awards, reviews, job vacancies, new menus, upcoming seasonal offers and so on. The most recent articles automatically appear at the top of the page in each category. This gives the latest articles a prominent position in the website as well as making the website appear more dynamic as content is continually been added as each article is entered. Each article links to an individual website page displaying the article in full and a photo if available.

Contact:
In addition to contact details there is also a contact form which is emailed directly through to the restaurant owner. A printer friendly location map can also be displayed if available.


Additional sections can be added on request.

Site Administration
Once set up, the IntraRestaurant CMS can be administered by the restaurant owner with no involvement from Intrade Solutions, although we will be there for support if needed. All key areas can be edited and updated at any time, from any location. For example the Menus and News & Reviews sections are fully customisable and can be altered immediately to take account of a change to a menu dish, or the addition of a new review etc.

Mailing List Component
Users to the website can enter an email address to receive restaurant updates. Through the administration area the restaurant owner can easily send menu updates or newsletters to all registered on the list. It is a cost effective way of keeping visitors coming back to the site as well as keeping customers informed. A powerful marketing tool.

Tell A Friend Component
Users to the website can send an email directly from the site to a friends email address, prompting their friend to visit the website. This is a cost effective way of obtaining new website visitors and potential customers.
