Fukime, Leaky and now "Munch On Me"?<p>Seriously? Is there a way to have a "ask your mom/dad/sister/girlfriend/wife what they think of your name" class before domains are registered?<p>Branding matters.

<i>On the flip side, restaurants that are tired of the daily deal model may find Munch on Me to be a more enticing option. This is because Munch on Me’s core userbase consists of foodies, rather than bargain hunters. These are the type of people who are more likely to become repeat customers.</i><p>Why would the userbase consist of foodies and not bargain hunters? If anything, won't it consist of bargain hunting foodies?

seriously, they named it "munch on me"? nothing double meaning came to mind when they were thinking about that name?

The title of this post would probably make more sense as "Munch On Me (YC S11) Helps You Discover Tasty Dishes With Daily Deals".

When Startups pick a name, they should think about 5 years from now not about if it sounds cool at the moment or is provocative.<p>A controversial name can help you in the beginning, but it can kill you branding in the longterm. (Exception: For some brands a controversial name can work, but then the whole brand has to go along)<p>If you pick a name like this one, you have to have the balls to build a brand and company that is controversial and provocative in every little detail.

This is pretty awesome. Food's the main reason I follow Groupon et al.

Ideas:<p>1) Add ratings for each dish, will help me decide what to buy.<p>2) It actually looks like each of the items on your side is not a dish, but a deal. So if the same dish is on sale in a week, it will be a separate item, correct? If that's the case, I would change it.<p>3) Add names for dishes on the left hand side. Right now the only way to find out what I'm looking at is to click on it, which loads a new page.<p>4) Add a filter (right hand side) by type - vegetarian, dessert, etc.
