Recently I was interviewed by Christa Hoyland editor of QSR Web. The article goes into detail on how operators can benefit by offering no-fee wireless access to attract guests and boost the bottom line, but there are a number of pitfalls to avoid. IT departments and marketing departments should take a look. http://www.onewifi.com/blog/2010/mar/free-wifi-is-it-right-for-my-business-Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600Quid Pro Quo: Evaluating Free WiFi in RestaurantsThere are a large number of independent and franchise restaurants that are offering free WiFi to get butts in seats. The way they do this varies, but the most valuable way do this includes building customer loyalty and involves a true quid pro quo. A newly published survey indicates that consumers dont mind this approach and as my grandpa used to say: There is no such thing as a free lunch. http://www.onewifi.com/blog/2010/feb/quid-pro-quo-evaluating-free-wifi-in-restaurantsWed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600Restaurateurs: Get Your Tech OnThe word of the year for 2009 is Tweet. The word of the recently past decade is Google. McDonalds is rolling out Free WiFi in 11,000 of its US locations this month. What does all of this mean to you and your business? It means that its time for restaurateurs to get their tech on. http://www.onewifi.com/blog/2010/jan/restaurateurs--time-to-get-your-tech-onWed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600McDonalds and the Writing on the WallLast week McDonald\'s publicly announced that starting in Mid January 2010 11,000 of its US restaurants will offer free WiFi. If the inquiries on WiFi Hotspot services for restaurants that have been coming in since this announcement are any indication, this new strategy is going to change the whole playing field for Quick Service Restaurants in the USA. Let us take a look at what is directing this move. http://www.onewifi.com/blog/2009/dec/mcdonalds-and-the-writing-on-the-wallWed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600Eating through technologyTechnology has certainly changed the way we do business and how we connect with each other. It has also changed how we make decisions about spending our money, even to the point of how we choose where we eat. There are questions to be answered when you are hungry. Questions range from What am I in the mood for? to Where should we go to eat? The first question is difficult for third parties to have influence over. The answer to the second question is being heavily influenced by technology. http://www.onewifi.com/blog/2009/dec/eating-through-technologyWed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600The big dogs start chasing the WiFi stickWhat do Google, Yahoo and Microsoft have in common? They are all executing new plans to utilize Free managed WiFi access to connect people with information, gain bigger audiences and increase loyalty. To me, that seems like a pretty smart plan.http://www.onewifi.com/blog/2009/nov/the-big-dogs-start-chasing-the-wifi-stickWed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600 Mobile Broadband and WiFi Hotspots, up or down?Every now and then I am asked by friends and potential clients about the impact of 3G smartphones and mobile broadband cards on WiFi Hotspots. There is the perception that with the persistent growth of people accessing the internet over mobile broadband that WiFi Hotspots will be used less and less. That perception could not be more wrong. In fact AT&Ts latest usage statistics show explosive growth in Hotspot usage.http://www.onewifi.com/blog/2009/nov/usage-on-wifi-hotspots-and-Wed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600A sticky restaurant is a good restaurantIn terms of design, people want a certain level of stickiness to their website. The objective of making a website Sticky can be described as intentionally providing content that grabs hold of the visitors attention when they happen upon your site. This content is strategically placed and designed to get them to check out the website instead of navigating away to someplace else almost immediately. Another part of stickiness is creating a desire for visitors to return, and often. So what elements make a restaurant sticky (in the good way)?http://www.onewifi.com/blog/2009/oct/a-sticky-restaurant-is-a-good-restaurantWed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600Congratulations!We here at eWireless and One WiFi are proud to announce that last night Henry Kurkowski was named as the recipient of this year\'s Indy\'s Best and Brightest Award in the category of Technology.

If you take the time to listen, your customer will tell you everything you need to know in order to maintain a great long-term relationship with them. Not only have I found this to be true but now we have the tools to reach this golden goal to with the masses.http://www.onewifi.com/blog/2009/aug/the-wrong-way-is-down-a-one-way-tweetWed, 31 Dec 1969 18:00:00 -0600
