- Product Description
- A recent survey revealed that most people work near about 16 friends or colleagues with whom they'd like to stay in better touch, but find it too difficult to coordinate. Lunchster makes it easy, automatically scheduling lunches with nearby friends and colleagues, and seamlessly integrating into Outlook, iCal, and Google Calendar. With restaurant recommendations from Yelp, it's never been easier to stay in touch with your real-world network.
- Market Opportunity
- 1. Freemium professional networking services have been proven by the likes of LinkedIn, which reportedly now earns approximately $100 million annually. 2. Restaurants spend $3 billion per year on advertising to draw traffic to their stores (National Restaurant Association).
- DEMO Says
- Lunchtime is business networking time, a time to reconnect with friends, a casual way to build work relationships. And yet, there we sit, eating a brown bag lunch at our desks. Lunchster can help you break that habit by booking lunch dates with the people in your network who you want to keep close. Lunchster is a tremendously useful service. It's simple and effective and takes all the work out of arranging lunch meetings.
