FOMO app Aims To Give Customers Access To Nearby Restaurants That Offer Specials
FOMO app Aims To Give Customers Access To Nearby Restaurants That Offer Specials. 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 the restaurant specials, drink specials, events and more nearest to you. 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 client’s area. Specials that are valid and not outdated, specials that are near their location and most of all, not to overspend when they don’t have to.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?!” the company said on its website.
As many of us 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 one sees afterward that the place next door had a 2 -for-1 cocktail happy hour special. Well, that’s why the founders came up with FOMO, the app that tells you where to find the special you are looking for. Great for restaurants because they don’t have to spend thousands trying to get their specials seen on Facebook and great for consumers because they don’t have to rely on restaurant owners to use their Instagram marketing skills for customers to see their specials.
The app was launched last year by founders Ryan Marx and Jacqueline du Plessis. Since its launch, the app has reached over 60 000 downloads and has supported many small businesses in the hospitality vertical.
