- “How to” Search an Ad
-
You don’t have to open an account to conduct a search – just click on an ad type in the toolbar; “search equipment”, “search jobs”, “search resumes”, “search restaurants for sale/lease”, “search vendors & suppliers” to start your search. To make your search as efficient as possible, Restaurant2Restaurant provides three ways to search:
1. Keyword Search – enter a search item in the “keyword” search field and click “GO”. Restaurant2Restaurant.com will search that ad type for the item you selected.
2. Filtered Search – right under the keyword search, you’ll see the filtered search box. First - select a category, then sub-category, then enter a zip code and select a mileage radius – and click “go”. The filtered search will deliver your search item as per the mileage radius selected.
3. General Search – right below the filtered search, click a category and sub-category, and all items within that category / subcategory will appear. Once you arrive on a search landing page, you can further sort by additional criteria – just click on the “relevance” drop down to see that criteria.
- “How to” Create an Account:
-
Creating an account takes less than 2 minutes:
1. Click “create an account” in the banner and a sign up page will prompt you to enter a first and last name, phone number, and email address.
2. Restaurant2Restaurant will then send an alpha-numeric password to the email address entered.
3. Go to Restaurant2Restaurant.com again, click “sign-in” and enter the alpha-numeric password provided in the email. Your email address will auto-populate and double as your user ID and your account has been set up. Feel welcome to change your password in the “manage my account” section in “my account”. As your email address serves as your user ID, you simply need to remember your password. If you forget the password, Restaurant2Restaurant.com will send it to you. A “remember me” button will enable recognition with future log-ins. - My Account:
