When Twitter first hit the web, people were a bit confused. Was Twitter a place for marketers? Another way to waste time? Within a few months, restaurants realized that it could be an amazing tool. From well known chains, to food trucks, wine shops, specialty stores and even mom and pops; restaurants have found a great place to connect with current and future clients. Food trucks tweet their location on a daily basis. Restaurants respond to positive (and sometimes negative) reviews, mom and pops tweet special events like wine dinners. But what makes a restaurant truly successful on twitter? It’s engagement. Savvy restaurateurs have come to realize that twitter is no bully pulpit where screaming out your daily specials will put you on top. It is a place to make clients feel special and loved; a place to connect with foodies, bloggers and ultimately that person who never knew they would end up eating at their place. We’ve compiled a list of the top 100 restaurants (and a few other establishments) on Twitter who utilize the service to its full potential. We looked at metrics like number of followers and tweets, but most importantly we looked at their engagement. Were they really talking with their followers or merely utilizing twitter as a message board. Congratulations to the listed restaurants on their amazing work this year.
