Pricing & Procedures

Service
$60.00 per quarter or $180.00 per year for continuous participants
$120.00 for seasonal participants, i.e. Dec - April or June - Oct.
Please inquire about our package deal with hosting on MadRiverWeb that allows you to pull your dynamic (update-able) menu information into your own website!

Set-up
$90.00 set-up includes adding your existing menu (up to 90 items).
This is optional. You are welcome to post your own menu. We suggest that you let us do it, however. Although our user interface is very easy to use on a regular basis for menu updates, the set-up can be more tedious as a starting point than menu updates.

Procedure
1. Select a username and password.
2. Send an email to sign-up.
3. Call Mad River Consulting at 496-4940 to provide credit card info, or use our secure online payment page.

Terms & Conditions

Using the Specials Feature

Your special menu items and your special events will be displayed on the home page of MadRiverBytes if your company is an active member in good standing and if you provide accurate, updated information. This feature is intended to provide a valuable boost to the traffic and visibility that you will receive, and reward those participants that proactively market their offerings.

The intention is to offer each firm visibility on the home page for a reasonable number of daily or weekly menu items (3 to 5) and a reasonable number of ongoing or one-time events (3 to 5). Exceptions will be made for establishments that indeed offer a larger number of specials.

If you offer a daily or weekly special but do not take the time to update what the item actually is in our database, DO NOT "flag" it as a special item.

If we find you abusing the system by "over-marketing" our home page, leaving daily or weekly items "active" that have expired, or otherwise not utilizing this service in a professional manner, we reserve the right to temporarily disable or permanently discontinue your account.

Accolades

--Robin McDermott, Resource Engineering, Inc., 1/29/08
I love MadRiverBytes.com. I depend on Mad River Bytes for Michael's menus!

--Chris Vannozzi, VARE Real Estate
We use www.madriverbytes.com all the time in our office. It helps us make our important lunch decisions almost every day!

--Sally von Trapp, von Trapp Greenhouse
We love Mad River Bytes!

--Jewls Cohen, Michael's Good to Go!
I refer people to our page on MadRiverBytes all the time and they comment what a great site it is. It has been helpful to be able to show our current seasonal menu.

--Ronda Kelley, Waitsfield Inn
MadRiverBytes has been very helpful to our guests before they arrive. We often have the opportunity to pre-sell them on things to do and places to eat in the Valley while they are making their reservation. (See full text.)

--Deb Hall, Valley Resident
Ever decide last minute to order take out and not remember where you stashed the menu? Sitting in the car or tiny waiting room for 20 minutes while they make your order seems to defeat the whole purpose. Or, maybe you decide to splurge for dinner out on the town but not sure what you feel like eating. Yea! for Mad River Bytes for making all our Valley eateries available at the touch of a keyboard.
