Restaurants can easily sign up for a free listing of their happy hours and specials. If the restaurant would like to be featured on the app or improve their rankings amongst their competition, there are tiered-pricing packages available.
The team will also work with the restaurant to boost their sales. “We did a gift card promotion with a local restaurant that was ranking number ten on the list and they wanted to get better,” smiles Lepage. “After the promotion, their happy hour was number one in the area.”
Happy Hour Here is a real-time, location based mobile app founded by Ronn Lepage, who was intrigued by the sight of restaurants sitting empty in the middle of the afternoon. The goal was to leverage underutilized assets to improve profitability.
Ronn was soon joined by the team at Rust Tech, with the mission of spotlighting and promoting food and drink specials for all users to enjoy, completely free of charge.
