Tapuda on Twitter: Restaurant Just Twitting for Biz...

Can a business run just on twitter? Apparently yes. Tapuda (spud or potato) is a small restaurant that by chance started using twitter. They started by advertising their daily specials. Then they updated their customers on a regular basis during the day. Lunch time takeout is one of their specialty. Twitter is an ideal communication channel for the casual restaurant. If you are in the office, getting update on the web is simple. You can also just go to their twitter page and see what is up with them. If you are updated by SMS than you can turn on and off updates. It is easier than SMS, more automatic than calling and getting an update. To the people who are twitter and SMS "hooked" it's a way to do business.

UPDATE: as of mid July 2009 Tapuda has gone "off the air" on twitter. Apparently due to the twitter marketing success they are upgrading and renovating the place. Let's keep an eye on them and see where this business goes.
