How we can guarantee 200

Three things nobody else has: an audience that already loves food, AI that turns every meal photo into repeat revenue, and a mission that markets itself.

The audience only we have

Eleven years of GiftAMeal earned a community of diners, and taught us not just what they're interested in but what they get excited about. Circles and Superfans turn a guaranteed first visit into repeat revenue.

AI that turns a meal photo into repeat revenue

Capture, recognize, act, measure. Every meal photo becomes a marketing signal, and Swipe Savvy's AI turns it into a repeat transaction you can measure to the dollar through Shop Savvy POS.

A mission that markets itself

Every GiftAMeal interaction is an auto-tagged social share that reaches new diners. That flywheel is what funds your 200.
