Update – Lots Going On

A very busy week with charities, restaurants and consumers
Big News

Charities

We have just launched the ability to buy credits for your account, where you can just bring your card to the restaurant and just present the card and the certificate will be purchased and redeemed on the spot.  Wow… I love this.

In the next few days, you will be able to buy letsgofordinner cards as gifts.  You will be able to buy credit for other people – not bad, spend $25 and get someone a $50 gift certificate, makes you look good.

Looks like we are going to do some events with charities PWN and LDABC in the next few months, the details will be worked out over September… yes.  Also, we finally got the LDABC cards fron our supplier who is great for charging us and losing our graphics.. strange how that works., to bad it was not the other way.  New supplier being tee’d up.

It is good to hear that spending cuts will not occur for BC charities funded by lottery/gaming grants.  Given donations and revenues are down this would be a terrible third blow for nonprofits.

Restaurants

And once again Glowbal’s Italian Kitchen scores with an article in Western Living.. impressive string of PR in 1 week

Restaurants much activity afoot, just posted our new crowd sourcing page or in English if you want a certain restaurant to use the letsgofordinner service print out the sheet -add your own refer a friend code  to find it go to your my account page – and then give it to the restaurant manager.

We could have two more restaurants live this week… lets see.  BCRFA meeting soon?

Going to look for a salesperson to help us handle more restaurants and examine a few new thoughts on expanding our offering to other price points.

Consumers

Have meetings with a company in stealth mode (due to Techcrunch) who wants to use our service, going to meet a mega charity next week could be very good timing and tomorrow have a meeting with an association with 2000 well heeled members who are in our target audience. All looks very exciting.

Will let you know how it all goes

Good meeting with Bootup and its other companies, everyone seemed to be their hitting milestones.. way to go

Speaking of Bootup – featured in this weeks Georgia Straight.. good show guys
