A Brand New Staff Canteen Coming Very Soon

Postby chef1 » Wed Sep 22, 2010 1:21 pm

Team Canteen

We have been working on a number of key and exciting developments to add to the site in order to improve and progress the site and also the users experience.

We want to build on the success of the Featured Chef but also widen the scope of the chefs that we feature, which we hope, will widen our audience appeal.

In order to achieve these forward steps we need to upgrade the server and migrate the site to new server. I won’t bore you with the technical stuff, partly because I don’t understand it myself.
The bottom line is that In order to achieve this we need to close the site on Thursday 30th September at 10.00am. Sorry !!!!! The site will be down for three hours and a holding page will be in place.
Depending on your internet services it could take up to 24 hours for you to see the site. This however is not something that we are able to predict.

I hope that you’ll bare with us and understand that this slight interference will in fact go a long way to improving and expanding the range of features that we bring.

Morning All

Just to advise that after the site re- opens, the new features will not be on the site, we have to move it to a new server to accomadate the changes then test them (in a development area.

As for what we have developed there be a statement very soon....Thanks ;-)
