Checking interest for new app idea...Involves Alcohol!!

I am developing an app that will alert you about specials or happy hour deals for bars in your area. The app will go off your gps location. I know when I travel I am always looking for a good place to get a cheap drink. Figured an app like this would be pretty useful for those of us that like to socialize while consuming alcoholic beverages.

The app doesn't have to be limited to happy hours, could be resturuant deals or nightclub specials. The point is to have a way for bars/restuarants/nightclubs to have a way to send out deals to people in the area. And for those deals to go to people who are actively looking for some cheap drinks or food.

Tell me what you think about the idea. Would you get it? Do you think you would use it to find good deals. Would you be interested in once you found a good deal to post it to twitter and/or facebook so your friends could meet up with you.

Thanks for your suggestions ahead of time.

 

yes while happy hours for bars is a main attraction the app will also have deals for restaurants/nightclubs, and movie/theaters.

Any ideas you suggest the app should include? Do you think the option being able to post the deal to your facebooke or twitter is a good option you would use?

 

Very good thank you, I was thinking along the same lines. Thanks for the ideas, any and all are welcome.

 

The bars/nightclubs/restaurants would definitely have to submit their post. To make management of their happy hour postings easier they will be able to give a time range of the deal, like on Tuesdays for the next 6 weeks. Also they will be able to submit multiple locations to one happy hour post. SO if you were a general manager of a large chain of restaurants and you wanted to post happy hour specials for all your restaurants in the north east it would be as easy as clicking a group and posting the happy hour deal to all the specific locations.

The app will grab happy hours for you based on your gps location or by a zip code you enter. Like if I am flying into miami tomorrow I can check for happy hours their based on the miami zip codes.
