This week, I received materials back from my client to better update the social networking sites. She was able to send me the menu for Barnside, and a list of daily specials. To add the menu to the Facebook page, I wanted to find a application that would allow for easy upload and make it manageable for the client. After searching I found MenuTab for restaurants. I am in love with this application, it is so easy to use and creates a great finished piece. You start by adding food categories, and then add descriptions and prices. While you add, it generates a full menu! I really liked the application because it allows for single prices, multiple price, opitions, and sides. The application also allows you to add pictures of each item that will display next to the list. I am going to talk with my client about taking food item pictures to add to the site. Overall, it was very easy to use and will be manageable for my clients after the semester.

Here is a photo of a portion of the generated menu!

I also received the daily specials from my client. I was hoping to find a similar application for Facebook that would allow me to add these with a neat feature. Currently, I have found nothing that I think will work. (If anyone knows of anything, please let me know) Since I’m still looking but wanted to get them up, I added the daily specials to the info section of the Barnside Facebook page.

With 55 likes in a week and a half, I think I’m off to a great start on the Facebook page!
