Dining Out Magazine

Dining Out Magazine publishes over 35 beautiful restaurant guides in 12 major cities in the United States and Canada each year. Each magazine contains culinary editorials, recipes, advertisements, and well over 100 one-page and two-page restaurant features.

FlatTop Technology built a combination content management system (CMS) and digital asset management system that is saving hundreds of hours of production work and will cut the production time for each publication in half.

A suite of custom, cross-platform desktop and web-based applications work seamlessly to provide big benefits to Dining Out Magazine:

• Designers focus on design, rather than tedious data entry and correction.
• Restaurant proofing is streamlined. Non-designers can create accurate proofs and restaurants can review them on the web.
• Photo management is improved with powerful cataloging and searching features.
• The final output to their desktop publishing application is fully automated.
