7 easy steps to coax Pokemon gamers to your spot

7 easy steps to coax Pokemon gamers to your spot

With more than 15 million people already downloading the "Pokemon Go" game to their smartphones and thousands upon thousands of users walking about, restaurant operators have asked me how to get their attention.

The augmented-reality game really has taken the world by storm, and Pokemon has created "Lure Modules" that individuals can buy to lure the little Pocket Monsters -- and the gamers who chase them -- to their locations.

After several restaurant operators asked me how to buy the "Lure Modules," I set out to a couple of restaurants to see how they could do it. My seven steps are here, illustrated for your convenience by the fine folks at Nation's Restaurant News.

My biggest warning: Make sure your location is near what "Pokemon Go" calls a PokeStop before you even consider investing in the 30-minute Lures.

Steps and screen grabs here.

Will they purchase any thing when they get there? Or Just stare at the Phone....
