#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.
