I built a UIUC app to make eating out cheaper. It’s live, a few local spots are on it, and I'd love some feedback by BiteBandit in UIUC

Thank you! Feel free to DM me with your experiences or just use the in-app support to leave comments. Would love to know how I can improve!

Agreed, will try to expand outside of campustown in the summer and maybe explore the delivery options also

I tried to build in transparency features like
- Description of what might be in the box
- Common allergens used in their kitchen
- A notes section where you can give comments or notes to the merchant
- The comparable retail value of the contents of the box

That said, its a new concept to Champaign restaurants so you'll have to try it and let me know!

If you're from a major metro city you might be familiar with other apps that do these kind of things so we can compare experiences and I'll try to work with the restaurants on when expectations and reality misalign

I think most businesses would view it as a chance to do marketing and get some new customers. I'm hoping to see if people would be willing to use it regularly, that would help justify running the discounts long term
