As it is application season, many are considering applying or tweaking the menu to meet requirements.&amp;nbsp; &lt;span style="float:none;font-style:normal;font-weight:400;text-align:left;text-decoration:none;text-indent:0px;"&gt; The connected world has impacted the business model. &lt;/span&gt;10 years ago, not many restauranteurs had heard of yelp, trip advisor, or other online review sites...and those that had paid them little mind. Now it seems to have gone 180 degrees, where its a managers ( or dedicated customer dept)&amp;nbsp; daily task to review and respond to any negative comment or experiences.&amp;nbsp; Wine awards and food accolades seem to be a key to getting to the head of the line, and thereby more foot traffic and possibly repeat business. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.guildsomm.com/aggbug?PostID=16684&amp;AppID=371&amp;AppType=Weblog&amp;ContentType=0" width="1" height="1"&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
