If you’ve wondered whether you should expand your online footprint beyond your business’ website but aren’t quite sure how to proceed, the Ohio Restaurant Association (ORA) has your answer. The ORA Restaurant Education Series (RES) is presenting a free social media webinar series that will help you reach guests and boost your revenue.
Each webinar in the series is dedicated to a different subject matter that will allow participants to focus on one social media platform at a time; to make decisions about which platforms work best for them; and to ask questions of Shon Christy, founder of Eat Drink Promote and host of all of the webinars in this series, one of the industry’s premier subject matter experts in online promotions.
This session focused on Pinterest: how to set up a profile, who uses Pinterest, why a restaurant would want to create their own account and how to use it to increase sales.

Welcome Shon
I’d like to take this opportunity to thank our Shon for providing his expert advice.
As you can see from this slide there are plenty of opportunities for education in the coming weeks. I would like to point out the Ohio Dept of Taxation event for Quick Service Restaurants on July 23rd. This came out of discussions from one of ORA’s member’s issues with to go orders and sales tax audits.
