GrowMyRestaurant.com has been developed in response to operators reporting they find current Web-based services irrelevant to their businesses. "Too generic" is a common complaint, as is the sense that the information offered is "self-serving" to the vendors who present the sites. GrowMyRestaurant.com takes a different tack, determined to offer services and tools with specific calls to action; "no fluff" is its mantra. Users will find free, downloadable applications and materials geared toward quick-service and casual-dining establishments alike.
