Key Takeaways:

Visibility Can Drive Revenue: Kevin Walker saw the impact of search firsthand after optimizing El Famous Burrito’s website. Within two weeks, he says the restaurant generated $10,000 in catering, including an order from a customer who chose El Famous Burrito because it showed up first in her search.

Stay Involved With Your Technology: Walker doesn’t consider himself an SEO expert, but he stays engaged with the tools helping his businesses grow, including Popmenu which he credits with helping his business.

Consistency Beats Complexity: Brendan Sweeney, CEO of Popmenu, believes restaurants can make the mistake of either ignoring new technology or trying to do too much with it. His advice is to find the right tools, stay consistent and let technology handle more of the work instead of building complicated systems that become difficult to maintain.
