Putting info on web server and then pulling info with Xcode

I would like to hold info about restaurants - address, phone number, etc. - on a web server and then use that info in an iOS app. What do I need to know in order to do this? In other words, how do I format this info on the web server and then how do I pull the info?

Not everything needs to be explained to me here but I just don't know what to search for. Thanks!

You need to create a web service to return data as JSON, PLIST or XML format, then the mobile application will make a call to this web service and parse the formatted data.

Here is a tutorial that will guide you from web service creation to the consuming (get data from the mobile application)

Here's a starting point. It describes how to make web requests to a server. You'll need to implement the server side as well.
