In today's era, people are focusing on making use of more and more technology. According to Zeytonli and et.al., (2013) as per a recent study, it is identified that consumer behaviour of people has changed and now they are visiting websites before purchasing any dearer item. It can be said that if one wants to purchase computers then he will visit websites and read people's reviews and on that basis, he decides whether to purchase a product or not. It can be observed that in few years back when one wanted to purchase anything he usually discussed his plan with another person and identified which brand product he must purchase. Now situation has changed and now people do not only believe in word-of-mouth communication but in order to verify information that is received from others they visit websites and read reviews about the product. This helps people make wise decisions.
According to Zeytonli, Madadi and Dana, (2015) in the case of restaurants also due importance is given to reviews by the people before the selection of a restaurant. It has been observed that the price charged by the restaurant is very high and the main aim of individuals is to go to a restaurant where they get value for money. Hence, in order to get detailed information about the restaurant there are a large number of people who like to visit specific websites in order to collect information about the restaurant.
Abomeh, (2012) claims that not every person visits websites to read reviews given by the customers about the restaurant.

In online reviews, one provides brief information the same thing that is available through word-of-mouth communication.

People make use of their experience of restaurants, information that they have about specific restaurants and reviews that are available on the internet. On the basis of information that is received from these sources, a final decision is taken by an individual regarding the selection of a restaurant.
It is very important for restaurants to identify from which websites most individuals collect information about the restaurant. There are a number of websites from which information can be obtained like Facebook and Trip Advisor etc. According to Zhang and et.al., (2010) Facebook is emerging as one of the sources from which people receive a lot of information about restaurants.
