Restaurant Owners and Operators -- there is still time in 2024 to maximize your online presence going into the new year!

Hello LinkedIn it’s me Kayla Scheidel! I am the Senior Manager of Web Design here at BentoBox and I am so excited to share some of the work that myself and the rest of the design team have recently shared on the BentoBox Design Blog. The BentoBox Design blog is where we share special projects that the team works on an effort to constantly be honing our craft and staying inspired! I’m thrilled to share "Savoring the Season: A Designers Potluck", the latest project which showcases a peek at our web design team’s virtual potluck. Check it out below!

Hi LinkedIn, it's Lindsey! I'm a web designer here at BentoBox and I am so excited to share our annual holiday logo redesigns. This has become one of our favorite festive traditions and we hope you enjoy!

Re-selling hot tables on digital marketplaces has become a distinctly post-pandemic phenomenon. This trend highlights the challenge of delivering hospitality to people who come in primarily from third-party sources — and the importance of building direct relationships with diners.

In recent years, the relationship between restaurants and marketplace platforms has settled somewhere between a constant battle and mutual dependence. Delivery-focused restaurants like Dado’s Pizza & Taproom have taken matters into their own hands: listing on the apps, but using them as marketing for direct ordering channels.

With thousands of restaurants opening each year, there’s no shortage of concept ideas. We scanned through media coverage about new restaurants in 20 U.S. cities to find patterns and trends about what’s ✨ popular ✨ currently.

Online commerce is an increasingly vital part of hospitality revenue. As Grovehouse Hospitality demonstrates with MISIPASTA, a combination of in-person and online retail is a powerful way for world-class restaurants to connect with their regulars, inside and outside the dining room.

In 2024, restaurant technology truly entered the chat. For years, tech has been helping restaurants operate efficiently and drive revenue. But since the pandemic, technology has become central to the connection between restaurants and diners. This year, the tech conversation became the restaurant conversation. Based on data from thousands of restaurants across the country, read on to see the stories that defined the restaurant industry in 2024.

Congratulations Aron Fried and Dave Perez on 4 and 6 years at BentoBox respectively! We're lucky to have you 🎉

AI: The two letters on everyone's mind. In restaurant technology, the introduction of AI meant that busy hospitality operators who previously didn’t have time for writing marketing emails or perfecting website copy suddenly had a tool that did it for them. BentoBox, for example, has the ability to generate both text and images — useful for everything from marketing email design & text to crafting the About Us section of the website.
