Greetings to all ,
I have been a part of this group for a long time now and have learnt a lot but haven’t contributed anything. So now, I am finally writing something. Cheers to that! So here I go,
How awesome would it be if YOU could book a table at YOUR favorite restaurant and get YOUR favorite dishes at YOUR price. Awesome? I know right.
So, I was thinking of making a platform where you could BID for your meal. For example, you are 4-5 friends who are deciding a place to hangout on a fine Tuesday evening. So you look for some discount on various sites .But either you do not find the deal or you are not happy with the deal they are providing. So finally you cancel the plan or settle for 0 discount. But of course, you aren’t happy. Now what if you could have got the deal you were looking for.

Let me tell you how it will work.
You log on to the platform, search the restaurant you are looking a deal for. Then you fill the details regarding the number of persons you are going along with, your budget- Per Person (if large group) or total, a rough detail of what kind of dishes(if possible) you are going to have – be it alcohol, Hookah or the specific kind of meal and FINALLY the discount you are expecting from the restaurant (It should be nominal only). And then you submit it. Now the detail goes to the restaurant which will then analyze the situation by taking into consideration
1. Costing – costing on booze & hookah is generally less, so he may give you some extra discount on that
2. The number of reservations at the proposed time
3. And some other things.
If the thing sets then he confirms the reservation. I don’t think there should be any problem for the restaurant because they are getting something extra only. And the customer would be happy too. However, after too many YOUs, I haven’t thought anything for ME i.e. Monetization. But surely, we can add some customized deals and charge commission for that. But woh baad ki baat hai !
So what do you guys think about the idea?
All inputs are welcome.(Writing for the first time so DO POINT OUT if there is any mistake)
Thanks
