"Our organization has been shopping around for a Web presence for about six months," said Eric Shilling, operations manager for both the Big House Brewing Company and the Big House Grill in Albany, N.Y. "Restaurant.com presented us with a well thought out and affordable product backed by the proper technical support and restaurant experience in their management team. Restaurant.com was an easy choice for our entry onto the Web."

...We've been using it for about three months," said Wernie Wiesnegger, Schafer's owner-operator. "It is a great tool, and has already helped our business. Our site has our history, our menus, a chef's profile and all the information about our business. We have been taking some reservations already. Our customers are e-mailing us. Every business should have a site.

...Boasting about 350,000 restaurants, Chicago-based Restaurant.com has the biggest list of casual and elegant restaurants in the industry, including more than 500 locally.
It offers narrative descriptions, pictures, chef background, menus, and links to restaurant reviews and features from food magazines.
