change post/:id in rails to show post/:restname

Question

I'm still new to Rails and I have a question about routes.

Right now, I have resources from a post table as normal.

post_path   GET             /posts/:id(.:format)    posts#show
            PATCH           /posts/:id(.:format)    posts#update
            PUT             /posts/:id(.:format)    posts#update
            DELETE          /posts/:id(.:format)    posts#destroy

Is there anyway when I hit the show page, instead of the address bar saying:

http://localhost:3000/posts/3 

can I have it say:

http://localhost:3000/posts/restaurantName  ? 

:restname is a column in Users with a restaurant name.

I'm building a web app for restaurant workers and I'd like it to have the address end with the restauranteur's restaurant name, specifically Post.user.restname.

Thanks for the help

My reputation wasn't high enough so I couldn't like both your comments but if I could, I would.

Because of the way my tables are set up, the information I needed was under users and I was looking to change the address under my posts with user information. In the end, the closest I could get was to use parameterize.

In my post controller:

45   @post = Post.new(post_params)
46   if @post.save 
47     @post.update :postname => @post.user.restname
48     redirect_to @post
49   else

In my post model:

13   def to_param
14     "#{id} #{postname}".parameterize
15   end
