“Restaurants have always developed reputations based on word of mouth,” said Sara Polito, owner of the Dallas-based consultancy Causing the Stir, which works with such area foodservice businesses as Frankie’s Sports Bar, Cowtown Diner, Macho Nacho, Mucky Duck, Ringo’s Pub and Zen Austin Ranch. “Social media is basically word of mouth on steroids. It can be very positive for restaurants.”

Polito said she has her eyes on location-based social media, such as Foursquare, for the marketing potential. “There’s nothing like reaching out the customer ‘right here and right now,’” she said.

As the owner of Frankie’s, I’d like to take credit for the kudos. But the praise for ALL our social media goes to Sara Polito at Causing the Stir. Sara blurs the lines between vendor, employee and friend. Fellow businesses (EXCEPT for competitive sports bars–LOL) could not do better than to take advantage of her services. I consistently get positive feedback on my Social Media programs. Most people think Sara is an employee rather than an outside contractor because she is so proactive and responsive. Completely knowledgeable on all aspects of Twitter, Facebook, Foursquare, Constant Contact, et al. Social Media is the wave of the present. I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my program. Top qualities: Personable, Expert, High Integrity”
