FOMO Is A Start-Up Aimed At Connecting Users With Specials At Restaurants Or Events. FOMO is a super simple and user friendly app for the everyday person looking for a good special at their favourite restaurant or upcoming events. The FOMO app uses geo location to show its clients the restaurant specials, drink specials, events and more nearest to them. The best thing about FOMO is that it’s free for all users.
FOMO was created out of a need that the founders, Ryan Marx and Jacqueline du Plessis had, that many South Africans struggle with, the need to see specials in their area. Specials that are valid and not outdated, specials that are near one’s location and most of all, not to overspend when they don’t have to.
“We created this app because we were sick of laying in bed on a Saturday or having a lazy Wednesday where we don’t want to cook dinner, asking the age-old question… where should we go for dinner?! I’m sure as many of you know, this causes major frustration because we don’t want to spend an arm and a leg to eat out. Worst of all, going out to eat and you see afterward that the place next door had a 2 -for-1 cocktail happy hour special. Oh, that really grinds my gears friends.” said Marx on the company’s website.
This is why they came up with FOMO, the app that tells people where to find the special that they are looking for. It is also great for restaurants because they don’t have to spend thousands trying to get their specials seen on Facebook and great for consumers too because they don’t have to rely on restaurant owners to use their Instagram marketing skills for them to see their specials.
The local food app that connects users with specials at restaurants or events has reached its mark of 50 000 downloads in a mere five months, proving its business model and offering has won over consumers.
