The Rooftop is a platform that lets people turn their rooftops into restaurants. We connect hosts with top private and restaurant chefs that create custom menus for guests. Guests make a reservation like they would normally do at a restaurant.

Reminds me of The Shed: https://www.vice.com/en_us/artic... cool, do you need a food license or whatever I presume?

This is very interesting idea, I've always wanted to play around with the idea of private cheffing/pop up restaurants. Currently doing a food truck project this summer, are you expanding into Europe in the near future?

@aaronoleary Possibly, we're going to see how things go in California these next few months, but I can definitely keep you posted.

I’m obsessed with rooftops and skyline views, and my choice is almost always super limited. Love the concept, are u guys operating in SF only now?

@mikhail_zhuro1 We agree, there's the experience of being able to be above the city and look down on everything is great. Yes, right now we're just in SF.

Really great idea. I'd be a bit worried with how many people would be going through my house to get to my roof though. Is there any insurance for damages to the home?

@christopher_lee4 That's a concern we take very seriously. We provide essentially the same insurance coverage that airbnb does.

@danny_minutillo Makes sense. Would now love you to come to Canada too :) By the way seeing as you just launched I have a market research service where for $12 you can ask 100 people a question then follow-up based on how they answered and even interview them! https://scoops.io/ You could ask e.g. "Would you rent out your rooftop for restaurants to set up shop once a week for $XYZ per time?" and then dig into people's primary concerns, etc. Anyway If you want to give it a shot feel free to sign up and let me know which email you used over Intercom and I'll pass you $12 in free credits. Best of luck otherwise! Great concept.

Interesting idea, however it seems seasonal. How will this work outside spring/summer? Will the restaurants purchase Patio Heaters?

This is an absolutely brilliant way to create a one of a kind experience and utilize a resource that is often an afterthought for building owners and tenants. I'd love to see commercial properties open up their rooftops to an experience like this.

@crogadave That's the plan. Right now we're starting with residential rooftops, but eventually want to open things up to commercial buildings as well.

Hey! I'm Danny, one of the co-founders of The Rooftop. We started this because we were sick of eating at the same restaurants in San Francisco and wanted more of a variety. The problem is that new restaurants rarely open because it's such an expensive endeavor. So we wanted to give chefs a way to create their own restaurants without all the overhead. We're giving product hunt users 10% off of their first dinner if they make a reservation this weekend. Just let us know that you're a PH user and we'll give you the discount! Let us know if you have any questions. :)
