A Special Toolkit Just for Bars, Clubs and Restaurants
Whether you are a restaurant, bar or club - we share a passion and excitement for the Food & Beverage industry. Consider the following benefits of working with Imaginary Landscape:
Diverse Background
Everyone who works at Imaginary Landscape has worked with a bar/restaurant/club at some point in their lives. Bartending, cooking, waiting tables, band members, acting - every staff member has an understanding of the inner workings. Let us bring our diverse background and excitement to bear on your Web presence.
Understanding the Business Side
It's not all lighting and atmosphere, there is a business to run with its unique challenges. Imaginary Landscape understands this and brings its experience to help your business meet its needs. High turnover, volatile cashflow, no time, fickle patrons - all add to the complexity of your business and require a unique Web presence.
Just the Facts
Your Web site must be effortless. It must be simple enough so that any available staff member can make changes quickly and easily. Our suite of Web site tools, specifically designed for restaurants and bars, renders an engaging and complete Web site that is readily maintainable.
Fast and Customized
Our professional designers create a new Web site (in as little as two weeks) that matches the look and feel of your restaurant or bar. It features your menus, a dissolving slideshow, an event calendar, an e-mail blast and press release generator, search engine optimization and many other functions, all designed to drive more patrons to your establishment.
Easy and Helpful
And while your initial Web site is created by the pros at Imaginary Landscape, the program is designed so anyone (even a cook) can control it and keep it fresh. All you need is a computer and an Internet connection. And if you even need help, you can call us on an old-fashioned telephone and talk to a "real-live" restaurant marketing professional.
