FAQs
- Is the site free?
- Yes – the service is free!
- Do you accommodate both the restaurant and hotel/lodging industry?
- Yes we do - in addition to catering to restaurants, we also offer classified ad services for the hospitality industry – so feel welcome to search or post hotel/lodging-related jobs and buy / sell hotels, motels, inns, B&B’s and resorts.
- Do I need to open an account to search?
- Not at all. Restaurant2Restaurant allows you to search the entire site without signing up.
- How do I search ads?
- Search your topic by clicking on the green toolbar that runs across the top of the page. Click and see the whole page light up with searchable ads.
- Do I need to open an account to post an ad?
- Yes. To post an ad you must open an account which allows you to create and manage a highly useful profile. The “my account” section allows you to save favorites, as well as edit/view/repost/delete expired ads (which expire after 30 days but are visible in your profile until you decide to delete them).
- How do I post ads?
- After you create an account, look for the silver box on the upper right-hand side of the page that’s titled “create an ad.” Under this title, you’ll see all the ads topics available to create.
- How long do ads last on the site?
- Ads last for 30 days. However, you can always re-post an expired ad – just go to “my account” and click on “show”, then click on “copy ad” and then after reviewing the ad, click “post ad” – the ad will then be visible for the next 30 days.
- Will I receive an email reminder that my ad will expire?
- Not yet, but this type of notification is in the works along with other site improvements.
- Does the keyword search apply to the whole site or to just to an ad type, like “search equipment”?
- The keyword search only applies to an ad type only and not the whole site – this way, the search functionality will focus only the topic you selected to search (like equipment), rather than the whole site.
- Can I save as many ads in my favorites as I want?
- Yes, the site allows you to save as many ads as you want.
- Where do I manage my personal account information?
- Click on “My Account” and you’ll see (1) the ads you have placed (2) the ads you have saved as favorites and (3) your personal account information – just swap old information for new and save – so easy. Can I find out how many people have viewed my ad?
- When entering a pay range in a job listing, do I include decimals & symbols?
- The "pay range" field accepts digits only, no symbols, nor decimals and auto-formats the ".00" So if you were to enter a $13.00 to $15.00 hourly pay range you'd enter "13" and "15" - and if you were to enter a $25,000 to $30,000 pay range, you'd enter "25000" and "30000" - then click on "view ad" at the bottom, then "post ad" - you'll then see all numbers formatted.
- Can I upload multiple ads at once?
- Yep – if you have lots of items to enter, just use the “bulk uploader” in the silver navigation box in the upper right hand side of the page. If you have a database, and the functionality to export files in an XML format, you can upload multiple job ads, equipment/product ads and “restaurant for sale” ads – though, you must upload pictures individually. The ads will expire after 30 days and appear in your “expired ads” section of the “my account” account management section.R2R will review each file before its uploaded, so pleased wait up to 24 hours before your ad appears.
