How often is it that we want to eat out and are sick of going to the same places or do not know the directions or want a quick glance at the menu. Sometimes it so happens that we want to know what kind of deals are available.
My idea is simple…
An app for consumers to be able to search for a restaurants based on multiple criteria including cuisine, location, price, etc… they will be able to order on the app so that by the time they reach the restaurant the food will be ready for them. Driving directions will be available for them. Reviews for each restaurant will be available and can even be drilled down to every dish in the online menu. Based on the customers profile, deals can be targeted on them e.g. If the customer is looking for a Chinese restaurant in South Extension, the app will show multiple restaurants, but will highlight certain ones where a deal is available and will also, advise the consumer that since he has a Credit card issued by a certain bank, if he goes to any one of these 3, he will get an additional benefit (read:discount). Each time the user checks in a restaurant, he can earn points which can be redeemed for gifts or discounts.
Restaurants will get a FREE / discounted mobile app specific to their restaurant and will route all transactions through our technology.
Based on usage, we will be able to monitor the popular restaurants / cuisines based on location (e.g. ABC restaurant is most popular in Vasant Kunj for anyone who wants to eat Indian food since most people check in there) We will be able to monitor average spend, no of time the consumer eats out in a week. His favorite food, dish, etc… All data will be user generated thus absolutely authentic.
This information can be made available to restaurants / pubs who are opening up or anyone else who might want to use.
The above is just the beginning and i feel that inspite of the no of online review / booking apps, none has the kind of features that we have planned.
