Atkinson's blog post My Food + Tech + Co-working Discovery TourChris Butler commented on Chris Leo's blog post 3 Ways To Increase Revenues Using SMS (Text Message) Marketing In Your Restaurant"Chris, I totally understand we are discussing this within an 'opt-in' situation, but what is acceptable after opt-in can be fuzzy in the mind of the guest.

Chris Butler commented on Michele Wagaman's blog post One New Message: "Your Table is Now Ready!""I have been paged using my phone a few different times with both text messages and phone calls.
