  1. Thanks for sharing the tips. I agree especially with keeping in touch with your customers, as in my case I've seen a lot of good small restaurants that simply just vanishes without any traces.

    Though they might not keep their customer's personal address, at least they can use Facebook to stay connected with their regular customers, including announcing if they're relocated.
