2. What’s the problem?
“I have fewer and fewer customers, and those that remain
consume less than before! Why? The price! But I can’t afford
to lower my prices without being sure that I can make more
sales!”
Restaurant manager in Paris
To make up for the decline in consumption in their
establishments, restaurant owners are forced to raise
their prices: it’s a vicious circle.
The Problem
Price
increase
Lower
consumption
3. The solution
To meet the demand of undecided
consumer groups by distinguishing
yourself from competitors.
Auctions
To give businesses more visibility in the
DrinkUp community and offer discounts
depending on the size of client groups.
The Good Deals Directory
To draw, whenever they want, potential
clients with unique and personalized
offers, through push notifications.
Offer Pushing
Selling to groups of clients with discounts to offset the margin on each item
through volume.
To make the bars or restaurants in the
same sector compete and get the best
prices.
To quickly find a place during group
outings and get discounts.
The more the merrier, and the more you
save!
To be notified of good deals in the
sector, according to taste.
