Today, we had the opportunity to gain more knowledge and insight into the entrepreneurial world and we have really enjoyed interviewing the brilliant young entrepreneur; Mr. ‘Michael Price‘; Co-Founder of the US (Chicago)-based start-up “LineChop” about his very interesting Company that we do believe has lots of potential to grow and flourish.

“LineChop” is an online wait-listing service that offers a better, more powerful and more accessible way to manage restaurants wait-lists.

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

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

Linechop is an online wait-listing service. It brings the experience people have waiting at restaurants to the web.

Basically as a restaurant goer you can check restaurant wait times online and have one click access to the waitlist.

It’s almost as if you were standing at the restaurant but now the information is just a click away.

For restaurants it’s a powerful management tool that is designed to improve efficiency and the overall experience a guest has at the restaurant.

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

Linechop LLC was officially founded on the 29th of May 2012 but the idea had been floating around before then.

Right now we are currently in the marketing phase, specifically looking for restaurants to partner up with to beta our service.

Our product is already built and is gaining a lot of interest.

We don’t have a launch date yet as we are currently working out the logistics, but we hope to bring our services to several restaurants in Chicago sometime in August.

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.
