Take a look at www.iMenu360.com and some interesting articles on www.myGrubShop.com.

Very interested to know if anyone is familiar with Gobza, Groupon, Living Social or similar types of couponing programs, and, if so, what your experience is? There seems to be a fair amount of public information on Groupon and Living Social, but not much yet on Gobza. Based on limited research to date, Gobza appears to be a new alternative to Groupon and Living Social that started in Texas and seems to be quickly moving to new markets based on the location of merchants and customers who join. Sysco (the food distributor) seems to be one of endorsers of this program. According to some reports, restaurants and other retailers can join for free as a merchant, and then can get free advertising and offer coupons electronically in a way that provide a lot of control vis-a-vis some of the other daily deal sites (eg, how many coupons are issued, the effective and expiration dates, the locations at which the coupons are redeemable and the size of the discount offered). Members also seem to earn a small commission on anyone who is “invited” to also participate as either a merchant or a shopper. We joined and hope to use the small commission to create a special employee incentive program. Customers who participate also seem to be able to join, review and compare for free and only pay a small commission (~10% of the coupon value) for any coupons actually requested. Here is a link to the Gobza web site if anyone is interested in reviewing or learning more: http://www.gobza.com/join_now. Seems to be a very attractive couponing program, but concerned that something is being overlooked. Please post your experience with Gobza and/or any information you have as to how Gobza compares to Groupon, Living Social and the other couponing and daily deal sites. Many thanks.

Every day, millions of potential customers search for restaurants on hundreds of different online sites. At least one of these sites displays the wrong restaurant name, phone number, or address for 68% of established restaurants.
If your information is incorrect or missing, potential customers will be unable to find your restaurant and will move on to a competitor. And that’s not good for business.
Do you know how your restaurant appears online? Make sure potential customers can find you easily. In less time than it took you to read this, you can discover where you are losing out on customers.
