uWink Bistro Blog

Our new website is about to launch! Just so you all know, it actually links LIVE to the terminal menu in the restaurant. That means that if we add a special in the restaurant, it will automatically show up on the website. Very cool!

And before we launch the web site to the masses, we wanted to let our faithful blog readers know about it first and to ask you for your assistance. It’s available at http://beta.uwink.com.

We want your feedback. We want you looking for typos, grammatical errors, erroneous facts, misguided information, bad photos, etc.

After this site gets pounded on for about a week or two, we’ll launch it at www.uwink.com for the rest of the world.

Here’s what one woman wrote about uWink.

Each month here on our blog, uWink will be highlighting a different trend for the restaurant industry in 2007. When Nolan developed the idea for uWink several years ago, these trends weren’t even on the radar, proving just how cutting edge the uWink concept is!  According to the 2007 Restaurant Industry Forecast, full-service restaurant sales are expected to increase 5.1 percent this year over last, reaching $181.6 billion in 2007. What are restaurants doing to meet the demand? Along with increasing productivity and expanding takeout options, a major focus will be on integrating more technology solutions both in dining rooms and kitchens! Already built into its concept, uWink uses technology throughout its operations – from touchscreen terminals on each table to the kitchen. Looks like uWink’s ahead of the trend! 

The National Restaurant Association, founded in 1919, is the leading business association for the restaurant industry, which is comprised of 935,000 restaurant and foodservice outlets and a work force of 12.8 million employees - making it the cornerstone of the economy, career opportunities and community involvement. Along with the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation, the Association works to represent, educate and promote the rapidly growing industry. For more information, visit their Web site at www.restaurant.org.

We just found out that the link for the audio replay of Nolan’s presentation from the Restaurant Investor Conference was not working. 

The correct link is here:
 http://event.netbriefings.com/event/franchise/Archives/investconf/ 

The original link was for the LIVE audio webcast, and the Conference Company just sent out the link for the ARCHIVED audio webcast.  The Conference Company apologized for taking so long to send the correct link since this affected every presenting company.
And we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused, for it is our intent to make sure that we have open communication with our shareholders and our customers.
