We were interested whether catering establishments nowadays, in the era of the Internet, advertise on their website and Facebook page. The purpose and the objective of this research was to find out which information are offered to the users of the websites and Facebook pages of the catering establishments, and which information are in reality searched by the users and cannot be found. With that, we want to help the catering establishments to realise which information are really important for the users of their websites and Facebook pages. In the first part of the research, we have carried out an expert study on the sample of 30 catering establishments in the Kamnik Administrative Unit, and therefore researched which information is available on the websites and Facebook pages of the catering establishments. In the second part, we have conducted a survey by interviewing 150 customers of the catering establishments in the Kamnik Administrative Unit, by which we wanted to find out which information they are missing on the websites and Facebook pages of the catering establishments. The survey was conducted in April and May 2016. The results revealed that the catering establishments do not use the possibility of advertising on the websites and Facebook pages, websites are insufficient and inconsistent, and they do not meet information needs of the users. Users mostly miss basic information and consistent presentation of the offer, and they also want more updated websites as well as Facebook pages of the catering establishments. The results of the study also revealed that information on the catering establishments on its website and Facebook page influence customers% decision on visiting the catering establishment. Therefore, the catering establishments should offer as much information as possible on their website and Facebook page to consequently attract as many customers as possible.
