--We could web auction local wine again, or maybe crowd source for a new stove and use the cash to pay off what we owe FOODSPOTTING?

Usual monday morning as we try to get organized for another week. The restaurant had been down spinning for a short time and a strategizing session was well under way. Our algorithm was working overtime in the lean winter months trying to get reservations.  

--Okay, Dave, I need you to get on to OPEN TABLE and keep at it every day this week, something you guys in front of house should be on top of. Also, FOODSPOT a few plates  `NOM IT` a few on the sly and then track it okay?. Maybe we can rework the price point to move a few different plates this week.

--Our tweets on the salmon terrine have been down this week. Mel, I want you to beetweet that it is on special, drop it by 3%, tie it to a salad of some such, we need to use up some produce this week. Hashtag it with `local` and something, you figure it out. Try not to bulltwit it though, maybe get a TWITTERFLY to PRT the hell out of it so we can move it. If nothing is moving by wednesday get onto FOOD COWBOY. That should push for a few days.

--On a good note, the 10 second spot on FOODSTREAM was a sell. Website hits topped the projected 15% and it was a good choice to go with seafood as it was the big splash at FOOD TRENDS. Last week  seafood `LIKES` where up across the web by 7%.

I can also get back on CHEFS FEED and do a bit of schmoozing and try to get a few walk ins. Also I will get one of you later in the week to get a `critic's review` posted to CHEWSY to push the upcoming weekend. As we have local beef in again, Mel, check with the Beef,  Board and see what is what as far as hits on dishes there and then maybe post a couple to DISHFINDER and FOODSPOTTING.
