Mr. ‘Brandon Hite’; from the Marketing & Business Development department of the US (Cincinnati)-based start-up “RoadTrippers”; explained to us in more details who is behind their company and what his start-up is all about.

According to Mr. ‘Hite’; The abandoned theme parks, the unexplainable roadside art, the monstrous, never-before-seen hamburgers made of locally-raised beef – these are what make road trips worth packing and filling up the tank for.

Roadtrippers.com, a Cincinnati-based start-up, wants to make sure every time you start up the car, you know of all the quirky, offbeat, uncommon, and previously unknown places there are to stop and see. From the family-owned restaurants with generous portions to the Museum of Plumbing Fixtures – Roadtrippers will let you discover your America.

At its core, Roadtrippers’ beginnings are similar to many start-ups: realize a problem, find no satisfying solution, create satisfying solution.

Today we interviewed Mr. ‘Eric Littleton‘; CEO at the US (Louisville, KY)-based start-up “WhyWait” about his Company.

“WhyWait” is a discovery app that allows users to find the following for restaurants/bars: Happy Hours, Deals, Events, Menus, Images and Social Media Integration.

Below is the full interview that we have conducted with Mr. ‘Littleton’ regarding his Company “WhyWait”;

1. What is it exactly that you do and what “WhyWait” is all about?

WhyWait is a discovery app that allows users to find the following for restaurants/bars:

-Happy Hours
-Deals
-Events
-Menus
-Images
-Social Media Integration

We also allow users to receive opt-in push notifications from the restaurants of their choosing. The restaurants control these messages in real-time. So, as a WhyWait user, if Tuesday night is slow for a particular restaurant I have favorited, I could receive a special notification good for that night only.

Our product is unique because we have created a consumer facing-product where the content is generated by the actual restaurants as opposed to user generated platforms such as urbanspoon and yelp. Our content is more robust and accurate.

WhyWait’s goal is to provide our restaurant clients with an easy to use marketing platform in the mobile arena and our app users a better channel in which to communicate with restaurants.

2. When has “WhyWait” been founded? And what stage is “WhyWait” currently at?

10/26/2011. We are in the latter beta stage of our product release. We debuted it in Bowling Green KY and gathered customer/app user feedback to determine the direction of our product.
