Welcome to
Adding food marketing know-how to the app development process.
What makes HotOperator Apps different is our 25 years of foodservice marketing, advertising, menu design-engineering and server training expertise. HotOperator is first and foremost a marketing communications company. That’s good for you, because working with an app developer that doesn’t understand your business can lead to a lack-luster, slow to grow app.
Restaurant Apps, a great way to grow your business! As a benefit to your restaurant, an app can really help you take your marketing to the next level. To better understand if this is right for you, consider these statistics:
-According to Nielsen 28% of cell phone users in the US have smart phones -More than 80,000,000 new users are expected by the end of the year this year alone -41% of new phones sold in the past 4 months have been smart phones -More than half of all iPhone users are over 44 years old -According to Twitton.com there are 142.8 million smart phone users in the US
“The fact is (if Nielsen’s projections are correct), there is going to be an absolute explosion in the number of people that can, and will take advantage of mobile online services, mobile web, data, music, video, sharing, social networking, communication, e-commerce and general connectedness.”
Don’t get left on the sideline. Connect with this huge audience with an app for your business!
Listen To Your Fans In-App reservations
With convenient features within your restaurant app, customers can make reservations, receive email confirmations and get turn-by-turn directions. Plus, while your guests are driving, they can call your restaurant with an easy one-touch feature.
Facebook & Twitter Connectivity Your app will automatically send a link to the users own Facebook or Twitter page. With an estimated 200+ friends per Facebook account, so your popularity could grow very quickly.
Loyalty program integration
For those who offer loyalty or VIP programs, your customers can easily sign up, view status and plan visits around benefits. Plus it keeps you top-of-mind for anniversaries, birthdays and other big days when your guests are more likely to spend discretional income more freely.

Communicate Better And Drive More Traffic Send text messages
Sending text messages via push notifications is a great way to inform your guests about events, specials and general information. Text messaging is a marketing power tool with exceptionally high open rates. Text messaging open rates are reportedly 97% compared to 10% to 20% with email (web statistics).

HotOperator® Launch Program Every HotOperator app comes with a launch program to help you introduce your new app with fanfare. If you’re going to go to the trouble of investing and managing an app, you want to sign up as many people as you can. Starter kit includes: Table Talkers – with image of your app and download instructions (includes 50 table talkers) Web site images & banners Postcard ready to print! (Printing and Production can be purchased separately). App promotion: Initial offer exclusively for your app customers to help build raving fans! It’s all about how many people you have using your app!
Getting the app isn’t the hard part. The hard part is getting your fans to become users so you have all the benefits of a direct line of communication. And the price all comes down to how much the app costs per person. If you spend $80.00 per month and only have one person signed up, it’s $80.00 per person per month.
But if you have 1000 people signed up and you spend 150.00 per month, it’s only 15¢ per person per month. The nice thing about the HotOperator app is, we help you get the fan base up, so the cost per person stays low.
Don’t see what you’re looking for? Just ask, we’ll make it for you!
