• Use the Name field for your restaurant name, and you can use the second Name field (which is not displayed but is searchable) to post nicknames, alternate spellings, or corporate holding company names.
• Use the second Address field to mention cross-streets, or give driving directions. If your restaurant is in a hotel, office tower, or shopping mall use one Address field for the building name, and one Address field for your actual street/mailing address.
• Use the Products/Brands to mention your unique features, services, feature dishes, banquet facilities, . You can also mention nearby restaurant, malls and attractions in this field.

TIP: You can create additional listings for each of your food & beverage facilities, especially if they have their own name, so you can use another 250 characters of description for each, and select categories appropriate to each facility. There's nothing wrong with one listing for your restaurant and a separate one for your bar, especially if they are very different in terms of service, cuisine, business hours, and  clientelle (also see comment in CATEGORIES, below)

• Select all appropriate Categories in the DINING categories, considering the cuisines you serve, the features in your establishment, the kinds of clients you typically attract.
• You can select as many cuisine types and features as reasonably apply, so you don;t have to be pigeon-holed

• Set up multiple contacts per listing using the CONTACTS tab and “Add New”, so different functional roles can login and update their appropriate listings.
• Each location can have one or more managers assigned as Registered Contacts for each listing (on for marketing, one for HR, one for food and beverage operations, and a GM) so each can focus on the areas related to their role in the organization.

TIP FOR CHAINS: Use the POWER USER tab to copy existing Contacts over to your various listings, or to set up regional managers for chain restaurants

• You can use the NEWS tab to post any announcements that get sent out to the other community media. Post announcements about management changes, menu changes, and facility upgrades
• News postings can dramatically improve your findability by increasing the association of keywords in the news story with your web site and your name.
• Announcements stay posted until you take them down. On FoundLocally, news has a long shelf life. FoundLocally news is not thrown out or recycled the next day, like with a newspaper!

• You can use the EVENTS tab to post any special events, like conventions booked into your convention/banquet facilities. You probably should not post events for private/closed bookings, where the event is not open to the public.
• If you have regular events, like sports nights, you can use the CLONE feature, after creating one event with a nice description, links and categories, and quickly add similar events for other sports nights. You can post as far ahead as you plan!
• If you have weekly events, like Ladies Night, or a live band(or DJ) on certain evenings, use the "Days of the Week" event type to quickly post  up to six months worth of events on a single screen. If you change bands or DJs every week, then you can go in and update the individual week's event details as you confirm the entertainment.

• You can post job openings as part of your listing. Go to the JOBS tab and click on "Add New" and these items are automatically posted to the FoundLocally Jobs Board where job hunters typically look for opportunities. 
• You can post front of house, back of house or management positions on our site. All postings are free with your business listing. You can set a vareity of job types including full time, part time and contract, as well as the level of desired experience.
• When positions are filled, you can login, go to the JOBS tab and de-activate the posting. That way you can go back and re-activate the posting later when another vacancy appears, whether in a month or in a few years.
• De-activated JOBS postings  are not deleted unless you choose to. But if it saves you typing, looking up a job desription from a file, remembering what you said the last time, and didn't have to pay the local newspaper for another Help Wanted or Careers ad posting, why not use this functionality?
