Website: http://www.greekcornercafe.com
Current main website not functional setup as
strictly advertisement click bait.
Facebook page is outdated, no recent posting,
last review done July 2017 definitely not priority for small business 155
People like page. Says they have been in business for 20 years. Most of posting
are from several years back. Instagram is unavailable there are postings by
customers and employees. No Twitter Account.
Greek Corner Café is
a independently owned business that has a small following on Facebook. They don’t
put much effort into updating the site and last posting was by customer in July
2017. I believe they use other sources to advertise business because social
media had very little content regarding their business.
3) Business: Luna Grill
Founded 2004 By husband and wife team in San
Diego, CA. 4 Locations in SD County. Offer catering in store dining, and work
with delivery services. FB page has 17,132 Likes well known in SD County. FB
site is a work in progress, many of the links are not functional. Eclub and menu
have script errors to be fixed. Twitter page created 2010, seems to be far more
functional and has current content, videos and pictures. New postings
02/10/2018. Instagram 3579 followers, very basic template of customers eating
at their establishments and some of the menu items offered. Definitely not impressed for company that has built extensive reputation.I think that Luna Grill social media is a work in progress.
Several ,and coding errors, need to be corrected to improve quality
of their social media accounts. Facebook seems to be the main social media
presence on the web. Also starting to build up Instagram and twitter accounts
which are being created.
4) The business name: Little Zeus
Website: http://mylittlezeus.com/index.html
The social media they are
visibly using is Facebook [there are no
links on their webpage]
I didn’t see social media platforms on
Instagram and Twitter. Website is hardly used at all no new content and the company
website and Facebook page is very basic. Last posting July 6, 2012
Little Zeus is small business that has several
locations in SD county vicinity. There social media platforms are bare bones
formats. There are no connecting links from there company website, they were
not well recognized online. The last posting July 6, 2012 shows me that they
really have no interest in using social media as a marketing tool. I assume
that they must be using word of mouth or print ads to advertise business.
Facebook seems to really be the only form of advertising that they are currently
utilizing.
5) The business name: Kaboob Lounge

2.
Currently using Facebook,
Twitter, and Google Plus
All of the main links are operational on the company
main webpage, Facebook page is organized, aesthetically pleasing. This looks like
the most used platform for social media purposes. Twitter hasn’t had any
activity since 15, November 2017.
Facebook Posting February 6, 2018
Kaboob uses there
Facebook site well with active links and updated menu photos and customer
reviews. The buck stops there they really haven’t put in the effort or time
into their Twitter profile since it hasn’t been updated in over 7 months. Kaboob also has profiles setup on Pintrest
and Google plus which I don’t believe gets too much traction. Kaboob has
focused most of their efforts directly on company website.
My business plan, is to create mobile food truck Startup Company called Nicco Grecko Gyros. My target audience, is Gyros enthusiast in the North County region. As startup with have considerable room for expansion. Brand recognition and mobility, will be our top main focus. We specialize in making 3 authentically designed Gyros wraps. Understanding my local competition is critical when promoting my products on social media. I have researched, 5 of the prominent Mediterranean establishment in Carlsbad, CA region. These restaurants will be my main competitors. My research indicates, each company has specific target markets, in the neighborhoods which they conduct business. I must familiarize myself with their products and services in order to sway some of their customers my way. Greek cuisine market segments, are strategically placed in Carlsbad, and I must formulate same action plan to compete effectively.
Currently rank #1 Greek restaurant, is Luna Grill, in Carlsbad. They have strangle hold on the Mediterranean Food
niche in Carlsbad. They offer dine in, delivery, and catering services for
there customers. Based on my findings for Luna Grill Facebook page, they were formally
established in 2004. Facebook page credits them with 17K likes, and 16K
followers with legions of fans. Luna Grill, keeps there Facebook posting fresh
and exciting, by posting every week, and sharing customer reviews. With 4
locations in San Diego County, they have begun expanding operations into Texas
location fronts.
With multi award winning meals, and diverse menu of Greek dishes. As stability Greek restaurant, they're fierce
competitor to my food truck services. Some areas of improvement that they face are keen focus
on cleaning up functionality, of their social media sites. Many of their links
are non operational, and have scripting errors, which should be addressed.
Little Zeus restaurant hasn’t posted
anything of relevance on Facebook since 2012 they have no other active social
media presence. The Kaboob Lounge, posts almost weekly on all platforms ex: Facebook, Twitter,
and Instagram, to share new menu items, and employee reviews of their products.
The most successful Greek restaurant establishments,
have shown just how powerful social media is. By utilizing photos, videos and
testimonials from followers they have built trust with customer reviews and images
of delicious cuisine. Each organization offered, E club or current promotions
coupons, on social media platforms to compete for business. Customer food
reviews, helped each company build reputation for type of Mediterranean region
of cuisine, for which they specialize in preparing. The only company that
seemed to have grass roots type setup were Greek Corner Kitchen, and Little
Zeus who only had Facebook pages, and hadn’t posting any updated content. In conclusion, my results seem to all indicate, Greek restaurant trends have substantial opportunity for growth. Social Media played key role in there growing exposure, and improved sales. Mediterranean cooking has generated notoriety, as healthy lifestyle by nutritionist, food critics, and local patrons.
