cheers! drop us a line at [email protected] if you've got any suggestions for us and maybe we'll run in to you in the fan doing some... "market research"
We have a back-end where bars are able to claim (and verify) that they own/manage/work at the establishment. then they can update their own prices. we are working with grocery and convenience stores to get a spreadsheet of prices that we can parse.
frankly, I never thought bars would keep their third-party profile pages updated, but we've been pleasantly shocked that they do!
god, we already know enough about hipsters living in Richmond.
in all seriousness, thanks for the input! we will be the first to admit that what you see now is not what we want the final product to be.
alcohol/$ is generally what we sort by. not sure how you are seeing the 50 mL airplane bottles, I'm not getting any when I play with the sort options. what were you looking at specifically?
send us an email at [email protected]! we always love to hear from yall.
the problem with virginia is the ABC regulations. we are looking to expand outside of the state soon - maybe DC, charleston SC?
Native apps with location-aware deals are on the way (we hope to even collect data on what you like to drink via webcams mounted directly in your fridge or facial recognition at bars themselves. are we kidding?!?!)
You are actually spot on with a lot of problems we are encountering (and solving!) right now. we hope apps & push notifications will help spread the idea.
the auction deal is interesting too... but we hate the Groupon model. maybe giving the local businesses more control is a step in the right direction?
