Hi, Ola.

Here's a link to the survey (designed in partnership with a top-flight market research firm) so you can see the methodology: http://surveys.questionpro.com/akira/TakeSurvey?i....

Hope this helps move the dialogue forward.

Best,

~ Merritt

Hi Chalkboarder.

Thank you for your feedback and for the link to your interesting findings! As we've mentioned, the figures listed above are preliminary. What we're looking for now is additional voices from restauranteurs that will either confirm or overturn the data that has been offered up so far.

We'd love to hear from restaurant owners, managers and staff to get a feel for their experiences on the ground. Here's a link to the survey: http://surveys.questionpro.com/akira/TakeSurvey?i...

Thanks for calling attention to this initiative!

~ Merritt

Hi, Jennifer. Thanks for taking the survey; we really appreciate your time and input.

I just doublechecked the survey tool and branch logic (awesome nerdy research term) and everyone who completes it **should** be asked for name and email at the very end. Now that you've written in though, we've made note of your name and will email you if you're the winner.

We'll also post the winner's name in Restaurant SmartBrief http://www.smartbrief.com/restaurant/ and here on this blog, so stay tuned!

Hi, Jonathan. You may well be right -- this is why we need more restauranteurs to weigh in ASAP so we can make sure our stats are statistically sound. To a certain extent, all surveys are somewhat skewed since the participants are self selecting, but still. We're still in the early stage of results collection. We'll keep you posted, and in the meantime, I'm now hungry for a steak supper!

Hi, Ron. Great example.

Morton's The Steakhouse is another goodie: http://smartblogs.com/socialmedia/2010/04/21/mort....

In a recent Webinar we at SmartBrief hosted on the topic of Social Media for Restaurants, Andy Sernovitz pinpointed six other restaurants who have interesting social media strategies -- more on that here: http://bit.ly/9YQTEn

Hi, Mark. Lots more specifics and insights to come, and we promise to post them here.

First, though, we need more restaurant folks to take the survey so that we can get to a critical mass of responses. Anything you could do to spread the word would be really helpful. Here's a shortened link for you to pass along to your networks: http://bit.ly/dhfWlk

Thanks in advance for your help spreading the word!

In the meantime, here's a little more to chew on, an interview our contributing editor did with Charlene Li just last week: http://bit.ly/dnTarR

Enjoy!
