WHAT IS SO SPECIAL?!

Dear Restaurant,

Your website is really bad.1  It is literally preventing me from giving you money.  Don’t take this the wrong way, all your competitors’ websites suck too.  Fortunately, I have come up with a quick and easy list of things you can do to make your website not suck:

1. DO prominently display
   1. Phone number2
   2. Address3
   3. Hours of operation4
   4. Your menu in HTML with descriptions5
   5. Bonus points for also having a downloadable PDF of the menu6
2. DO give important information such as whether you accept cash only
3. DO NOT have a flash, music, or animations7

Thank you,

Your (soon to be) loyal customer,

MakerBlock
