Food Valet

#FoodValet

Overview

● Food Valet is an app that brings everything you

need to know about a restaurant right to you

before ever stepping through the door.

#FoodValet

Problem/Opportunity

● When traveling to a new city, it can be hard to

decide which place is worth eating in and what

place doesn’t make the cut.

● Programs like Yelp and Urbanspoon bring

restaurant reviews to the consumer, but none do

it with the simple ease of snapping a picture.

● No program has yet figured out how to bring wait

times to consumers before ever entering the

restaurant.

#FoodValet

Unfair Advantages

● Ease of access to information. Simply take a

picture and it’s all in front of your eyes, no hands-

on searching required.

● Wait-time availability-check wait times for your

group size before even attempting to navigate to

the hostess stand.

#FoodValet

Competition

Competitors What they can do that we can’t What they can’t do that we can

Yelp Dense base of reviews, already have

faithful followers and contributors for

content

Ease of search based on look and snap

photo ability and instantaneous

searching

Urbanspoon Ranking of restaurants in area based

on reviews, types of food

Cannot display wait times of these

restaurants

GrubHub You can order food straight off of

GrubHub

Send you results based on what food

you want, harder if you don’t know what

you’re looking for

#FoodValet

Business Model

● Social Media will be huge in our promotion effort.

● People love food, and they love talking about

food, good or bad

● We want to spread word via social media and

collect reviews and pictures through

conglomeration of these social media sites

● Once we have backing of reviews, we can head

to restaurants to entice them to join with us

#FoodValet

Forecast ● We can see this becoming an extremely

profitable business simply because people like to

know what they are spending money on before

purchasing anything, especially food.

● It is a business that doesn’t require a lot of

manpower because it relies so heavily on

crowdsourcing

● Once companies see how apps like this can

make or break their business, they will be more

than willing to jump on board to make themselves

as favorable looking as possible.
