Andrew Frisby. founder of OrderOnlineNow, commented on the reasons behind launching the directory: "Whilst the on-line reservation and delivery service is working well for some of Kent's best restaurants such as Thackery's, Derring Arms and Hengist, it's not a technology that every restaurant owner feels ready to adopt, but still want to feature on the site." "Using OrderOnlineNow means no more hunting for lost telephone numbers and menus, hurried calls to rushed restaurant employees, transcription errors, or engaged tones, " said Frisby. Visitors to the site are able to search and choose local restaurants, select dishes from the latest on-line menus, make a table reservations, and order takeaways or home deliveries. The system is free to use and does not require registration, although there are many additional benefits available to members. Meals cost no more than if diners contact restaurants direct. OrderOnlineNow has also added a 'Restaurant News' section to the website, giving visitors details of the latest openings, new menus and special offers. A monthly newsletter also goes out to Kent chefs and restaurant owners on free subscription, and aims to help establishments improve their customer offering and boost profit margins, against a backdrop of rising costs and falling consumer spend.
