These apps are always difficult to scale because of the required (geographically-confined) network effects. I can see this being particularly useful for large companies. Coordinating lunch plans as a large group is difficult and this might help more introverted folks mingle with teammates they don't normally hang with.
@rrhoover Agree - there are so many hyper niche products like this that die due to novelty - hopefully these guys have scale avenues to build on.

@samir_doshi@rrhoover I don't think you understand this concept. It's intended for people to have lunch with their friends. The network effect is reduced exponentially since you only have to hassle a few friends/coworkers to make this useful
@searchresults@rrhoover I hear you -- I looked into it further ... and I think your simplicity is the standout feature --- the time element and the ease of just pressing a button is engaging... really no offense --- just had to look deeper! All the best. As a side note -- we @moxiapps were making something similar for beer! We tied into the iWatch as a sort of alert for thirst... would be cool to see that too!
@searchresults I agree that it cane be useful with only a few friends on it but it doesn't replace existing alternatives -- texting, FB message, asking your friend IRL -- if only a subset of buddies are on it.

This could be a great app! I love spontanious meetings. I get the SMS with the code but then it won't work to enter the code - Sweden.
Nice hunting @willfeldman3 this is a useful product. Eating alone should never be an option though the concept is similar to that of @dovibe. @rrhoover is most definitely right for this to be applied as more of a corporate tool but totally wrong about the scaling abit,
as a recent college grad I really think its useful. I saw this a while back actually when it was still was something basic and they have really worked on some stuff. Nikil I think your cousin Rahul shared it on my wall or something but great job with the progress! The invite feature on it is brilliant!
