After5® Specials

After5® Specials is a Restaurant, bar and entertainment app to allow the Public quickly find food, drink and entertainment offerings by region by day.

Why After5® Specials?
Before After5® Specials users would either go to a bar or restaurant they knew or they would spend time searching internet websites, reading through local entertainment magazines and reviewing restaurant listing websites (like Yelp, OpenTable and Google). It was impossible to easily compare a comprehensive listing of the specials and entertainment offerings for the local bars and restaurants. Most listing services list the restaurants and provide category and review information (e.g., maybe a lengthy explanation of a bad experience with a waitress) but in order to get more information about the offers and specials they would have to click on each restaurant's website. With After5® Specials all the interesting specials are listed in one easy to read listing allowing users to quickly zone in on their consumption destination.

How does it work?
After5Specials.com the consumption/entertainment seeker simply uses the search bar, located at the top of the web page, choosing their state, region, and weekday (defaulted to the current day of the week) then pressing the “Find Specials” button. The result is a list of all establishment’s food, drink, and entertainment specials for that day allowing the user to quickly scroll through the specials in their area and zero in on the one what interests them. Users can create their own profiles where they define their regions of interest, identify notification settings and certain keywords, which will automatically notify them when new specials are posted that meet their search profile criteria. They can also indicate if they are interested in any restaurant jobs and attach related information (e.g., resume, years experience, etc.) and be made available only to participating restaurants looking for new employees.
