But I think its important to go a notch above your competitors and add some USP to your service. maybe a social network like approach is the way to go - i dont know for sure. @nabil,

maybe a social network like approach is the way to go – i dont know for sure.

Two of my personal favorite food based apps are seamlessweb.com and gomobo.com. I'd love to see a gomobo.com like concept where restaurants don't have to rely on fax machines, rather can accept orders via their mobile phones. https://subtledisruption.com https://navajeet.com I think HZ was probably a first mover, I like what Need Grub is doing … almost like a menupages.com like model.

Living in France, we have not yet a really good online restaurant guide (I mean with user reviews). It's a shame! Because I really think there is a market and I cannot understand why no one has created one yet! However, for the trips I made abroad, USA, Egypt, Turkey, few days before the departure I always try to find out a good website with local restaurant reviews. So I think it is a really good business and if I can give an humble advice for this website entrepreneur is always privilegiate users reviews and experiences : a social network dedicated to foods!

I imagine that with this money the HZ chaps will be in a position to not only ramp up their features and interface, but also build up a content management / development staff to boslter up the number of restaurants featured on their site - a massive plus, when in fact when you visit a site in this space, you want the database of restaurants covered to be as big as possible.
