Munch On Me (YC S11) Is A Groupon For Food, Done Right

Interesting, but I wonder how merchants will put up with strong, Groupon-like demand for a single item. Also, this stood out for me:<p><i>"Banking on the fact that restaurants can’t take stellar pictures of their own food (food pics are a big deal), it sends out a professional photographer to get the job done."</i><p>Professional food photographers can make Wendys look delicious -- what happens when I pay for a delicious looking Kung Pao chicken on the web, and the restaurant delivers a more "everyday" experience, possibly made worse by the increased strain of preparing the same dish over and over again? I'd tend to feel a little ripped off by the site that sold me the deal, not necessarily the restaurant.<p>Bookmarked to check back in six months...

You have to wonder how saturated this market can get before it's just not viable anymore.

The name seems a bit...canabalistic.

Hey guys, I want some honest feedback on a project I abandoned about the same concept of local deals. Here is the url with some sample deals:<p><a href="http://www.deel.co/deals/city/nassau" rel="nofollow">http://www.deel.co/deals/city/nassau</a><p>You know, I had the idea of posting all deals from big chains like cheesecake factory, longhorns, roadhouse, mortons, houstons, etc. in the sense that they post their weekly offers (like in print) and people get to know what to eat when they go there. Nothing for free, just a billboard.<p>People would use the service as a help when deciding where to eat everyday, and chains would benefit from their traffic (again, like in print). No stupid games like being a major of nowhere or silly prizes like one free beer on the 31st of february at 8am only.<p>I was going be the most happy user since I would be using it every day going for lunch with my coworkers, everytime the same question arises, where to go today? tgi fridays? ruby tuesdays?<p>To make the story short (too late, I guess) we ran out of runway (a very short runway indeed) and my cofounder and I decided to abandon the project for now, with the hope of someday pick it up again when better times came.<p>As I said, I love the idea. Groupon et all don't tell me what's new at panera bread or even mcdonalds and I really want to know (there is a real need)<p>Am I crazy? out of touch with reality? pipe dreaming? Or is that a project worth pursuing to its fullest? I learned a lot about geolocation and lots of stuff, can't deny that, but I dream on having my own business some day.<p>Advice?

Why would Munch On Me take publicity so early in the game when they don't even have the volume to defend against copycats?
