This is an ideal way to provide more convenient authentication for your customers and to learn more about them.

Place signs encouraging guests to take pictures of their food, your signature cocktail, or a silly statue. Create opportunities for guests to share. Reward posts that get the most shares. Let your guests know which social network your restaurant uses, as well as the hashtag to use. Run a contest for everyone who shares a photo with your hashtag.
