20 Reasons Why UrbanBacon Works
Have you ever poured your heart into something? Got lost in the process? Forgot you’re actually working? To me, that’s UrbanBacon. I love restaurants. I love going out. I love friends. It makes my world go around…
Today, the most unbelievable thing happened. I was slogging through a mundane day, barely holding my eyes open. Then I received a phone call. It was Nicolas Carretero from Guido’s Pizzeria and Tapas who we recently interviewed (Check out the interview here).
I picked up the phone “This is Phil.” Nicolas responded “Hey Phil, how ya doing?” I thought to myself…well, I could tell him how incredibly slow my day has been. How much I despise training and the corporate world (my day job). But I went with a standard “Great, what’s up?”
Nicolas then said the most humbling thing ever. Word for word:
“Phil, I just called to say Thank You. I had to tell you over the phone, because I text way too much. We had a great turn out for our World Cup crowd. I asked our manager to pass out flyers, and find out how non-regulars had found Guido’s.”
He continues:
“The next day our manager came to me excited about something. She said 20 people showed up because they saw us on UrbanBacon! Phil, whatever you’re doing, keep doing it.”
I cannot express how humbled we are. We work hard to build a VALUABLE service for people and restaurants. Sure 20 people isn’t a Groupon blowout, but Guido’s didn’t pay a dime to meet those 20 people. They hustled, believed in us, and we are thankful. Stories like this keep us pushing to get every restaurant online and active!
Your Friend,
Phil Novara
PS> Thank you Nicolas, let’s hit 40 next time!
