Hi afrancis and thanks for the question! As for the monetary savings, parents will definitely save as most places have fixed priced menu, but a regular purchased meal is usually required! In short, families can save money, but it will depend on the food provider. I understand your view on marked up prices, however, we'd work with fixed prices to reduce the markup or any predatory price hikes. Revenue/profit model we discussed can be: a. Charged partners a listing fee or percentage of total bill b. Charged families a monthly fee(subscription) c. Or charge families a one time fee to download

Hope this helps and feel free to continue our chat! Thanks ;)


This is a cool and interesting idea! It's like a private community IPO, hopefully there won't be too much taxation involved!


I appreciate your interest! I've started my sales sprint, lean start up style.

I've got this amazing author offering a 1 percentage ownership stake in her future royalties for just a hundred dollars, to get the ball rolling and create the need for what needs to be built. As for taxes, I'd get some help on that for sure, but I cut you a check for your earned royalties, you pay taxes on it, no different than the writer themselves would. I would think.


1% is a good start, but since it's still early, maybe you can negotiate a 2% for $125-$150... Doesn't hurt to try ;)


You know what, you seem like a nice guy, if it will get this company pizza profitable within 5 hours of it's conception, she's game via paypal at 2% for $175 alhenaworks@gmail.com


Sorry, but I'm not interested! I was inputting some general ideas for you to use... Cheers


Totally appreciate it, and hey, my first rejection. Eventually I'll get a yes =)


You're very welcome! We're both in the same boat, just trying to figure out the path...keep trying and feel free to stay in touch with any other questions or concerns!!! Cheers


Will do!


Great questions and sometimes life just works out quirky, but here's my thoughts... 1. I do not enjoy anything! 2. I will not miss anything! 3. Pay is descent and benefits are great! 4. I would need to just go after my dreams and stop second guessing myself and my abilities!

Great topic!
