Even though your readers are supposed to read your blogs, it is still more or less a personality-driven business. Readers take their time to switch over to a new blogger and this is where the patience helps.

Doing Research

As the food industry is changing dramatically and there are lots of parameters that decide the effectiveness of a restaurant consumers don’t just want delicious food they also expect the food at best affordable costs. The other parameters may also include the ambiance of the restaurant, the behavior of the people serving the food, time taken to serve or deliver the food, cleanliness of the people serving the food and hygiene in the restaurant kitchen. Hence, you can’t recommend a restaurant to someone unless you have researched enough before recommending it.
