Events Calendar

Events Calendar

We understand that an essential element for the success of an event is the people present at that event. In this section you can add events organized in your restaurant, events that will be presented on the page of your establishment. If the event is important it can be presented on the first page of the IRistorante website.
To add a new event, click on the “New Event” button and enter the details of the event. The event will be available on the restaurant page from the moment it was added until its expiration date. To edit an event, move the mouse over the start date of the event and an edit icon will appear, which you can then click to make changes.
For any questions or problems with adding an event, please write us an email at info@iristorante.it.

They say about you (Reviews In Reference Guides)

The reference guide for venues is one of the most important places where your venue can appear. Why not offer your customers the opportunity to see what is being written about the preparations and the venue you manage? An informed choice will always lead to a more loyal customer. To add a review to a reference guide, use the “Add new Review” button and then enter the details of the review that is available in the guide. Attention! When entering the name of the guide, check that it is spelled correctly.

Where we are (Google Maps)

It is very important for a customer to know the address of your restaurant. In this section you can specify exactly where you are located. If you have entered the correct address of the restaurant, our system automatically detects its location on the map. If you want to change the location on the map, grab the icon and put it in a specific place. After doing this, please click on the “Add Information” button.

Local Images (Photo Gallery)

A picture is worth a thousand words. Is there a better way to introduce your restaurant to potential customers than showing them photos of your restaurant waiting for guests? In this section you can add photos of your restaurant. Select photos from your computer and then click the “Upload Image” button. After the image is uploaded, you can add more images. The effect of the photos will be very special.

Local Tags

What is a tag? Think of a tag as a word or phrase (sentence) that describes a category. Tags can help visitors quickly find what they are looking for on your site, but they can also help you easily remember places to find them later.
How do I use tags? A tag is a word or phrase that you can add to your business that gives it a more personal meaning to your customers. For example, you can add the following tags to your business: “romantic atmosphere”, “good pizza”, “special appetizer”, so they can find them later, or you can add a tag to an entertainment business, such as: “entertainment” or “live music”, to help other members find the business more easily when they are looking for something specific.
