Restaurants

Consider this... How much have you spent on designing your restaurant? Not just in money terms: what about your time spent selecting designers, builders, going over designs, quality control, reviews, decore, selecting music, etc. And how much have you spent on showing what a unique, desirable, welcoming, comfortable, fashionable, place it is to eat - to the world? Is a few photographs on a website really doing your restaurant justice? Will they make your restaurant stand out from the crowd? A virtual tour could pay for itself in a week... Invest in a top quality virtual tour and you could well see a week-on-week increase in turnover that exceeds your original investment! How? More and more people use the internet to select where they are going out to eat. Customers are risk-averse and so they will choose a restaurant where they have more confidence about its' quality, ambience, fashion sense, and comfort. A well designed virtual tour can answers so many of their questions by letting them visit you and look around - online. Questions that remain unanswered by your competitors... What makes a good virtual tour for restaurants? It first and foremost should show the class, ambiance, and the decore It ideally should be shot when your restaurant is busy (promoting the idea that it is popular - nobody likes an empty restaurant). It should have a soundtrack or, better still, an actual audio recording snippet to capture the ambience and give a flavour of the type of music you play. It should include a 360˚ panorama of your kitchen (to show clenliness and efficiency), possibly even toilets. It should include a 360˚ panorama of your bar/s. It should include some stills of your menu/s and food and drinks. It should include an image or two of your staff, particularly a waiter/waitress. Why choose 3-8-tive 360˚ to do your virtual tour?

Most virtual tour photography companies are a single photographer with some web experience. What separates 3‑8‑tive 360˚ from all other virtual reality photography and design companies is that we are part of a much bigger innovative and creative computer company that specialises in web hosting, web design and development, digital asset management systems (DAMS), and content management systems (CMS). This extremely powerful combination offers you unrivaled creative and technical opportunities to keep you ahead of the competition, use highly innovative customer-engaging technology, and protects your original investment.

3‑8‑tivity has huge web computing resources - using the most advanced cloud technologies, and unrivaled experience in digital imaging and multi-media, and their eCommerce integration.

What this means for you is that with 3‑8‑tive 360˚ you are buying into maximum flexibility and capability, and your investment is future-proof. Whatever your current or future requirements are, we are confident that no other company is better placed technically, photographically, or creatively to meet your needs.

You may start with a simple virtual tour, however, later you may want to progress to something more advanced like eCommerce, reporting, and/or dynamic content. The key advantage of using 3‑8‑tive 360˚ is that if you later decide to add advanced functionality it is very likely that you will be able to use the original virtual tour photography - i.e. it is unlikely that you will have to have the virtual tour re-shot. This is because most of the additional functionality is handled at the back-end - on the web server and in on-line databases - with small user-interface changes that can be over-laid on top of your existing virtual tour. Obviously this saves you money and protects your original investment. You can have the confidence that we will be able to meet any of your future requirements.

There are opportunities that you may not have considered, and we can explore these with you to keep you ahead of the competition and to keep your customers engaged and loyal.

Put another way, if you never want to used advanced features like :-

integrate eCommerce functionality - like on-line bookings, sales, multi-media information
integrate with your existing computer systems - e.g. booking or sales systems
instantly change dynamic content in the virtual tour/s yourself - like changing menus, prices, times
report on visits, clicks with detailed analysis
create permanent on-line digital archives of exhibitions, shows, seasons, development progress, etc.

... and if you do not need any of the following :-

technical assistance with integrating your virtual tour into any web site, blog, or content management system (CMS)
re-evaluate your whole web strategy to maximise interactive virtual tour content and opportunities
assistance with search engine optimisation (SEO)

... if you do not need any of the above then there is no particular reason why you should choose 3‑8‑tive 360˚ . There are several perfectly good virtual reality photographers in your area and some produce photographic results as good as us, offer a service as good as we do, and turn around your work as quickly as we do...
