Mediaboss Marketing

(PRWEB UK) 30 March 2012

Nowadays, its imperative for any restaurant business to have an online presence but with the recent take up and use of smartphones and tablets its equally important to provide a fast, informative mobile solution for prospective visitors while they are on the move. Mobile websites are a great marketing and advertising platform that shouldnt be overlooked for any business.

Many restaurants already provide a desktop brochure website to showcase their menu, let visitors view photos and inform them about the restaurant's function rooms, catering, opening times and special offers. However, traditional websites arent built with the small screen in mind leading to lots of rotating and pinching.

With most of the UK's smartphone owners also using their devices at home, it has now become imperative for any restaurant to offer a comprehensive, dedicated mobile solution.

All of Internet Buff's mobile web design packages come with email form functionality, click to call buttons and an easy to use content management system allowing restaurants to showcase their menu, restaurant and bar, function rooms and special offers via a simple screen touch. Restaurants can upload photos of their restaurant and cuisine to a dedicated gallery. A link to Google Maps helps visitors find the restaurant quickly and visitors can share their experience after their meal using social networks such as Facebook and Twitter.

All packages come with free hosting and a dedicated content management system so restaurants can update text, photo galleries and pricing anytime and from any web browser.

So, whether they are at home or on the move, restaurants can now give their customers a stunning mobile experience.

Emergency personnel escort two women out of the Wellmont Theatre as the venue was evacuated. At least one was injured and several people were Maced and arrested at the scene, according to a Wellmont Theatre employee. Authorities shut down the sold-out Barstool Blackout Tour show about 9 p.m. Thursday night. Police closed Bloomfield Avenue from Fullerton Road to Willow Street as mutual aid police officers drove the crowd of scantily clad concert goers out of the area.

Police from several jurisdictions block traffic on westbound Bloomfield Avenue at Willow Street after the Wellmont Theatre was evacuated and the venue was closed.

Several thousand concert goers arrived to see the sold-out Barstool Blackout Tour, and fights broke out as youths tried to move inside for the event, with disturbances erupting inside the venue, as well, according to several witnesses.

The show was slated to begin at 8 p.m., but roughly an hour later Wellmont security guards announced that there were too many people in the venue, it was being shut down, and they had to leave.

The Montclair Police Fire Department closed Bloomfield Avenue from Fullerton Avenue to Willow Street and concert-goers were evacuated from the theater. Police began arresting youths.

Six people were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, and 19 people were taken from the scene and hospitalized, according to Montclair Police Lt. Emil Dul.

"People were out of control," Dul, who had been at the scene, told The Montclair Times.
