ABOUT ALWAYS LOCAL

The “Always Local App” has the potential to make a significant impact on the local community by serving as a platform for restaurants, bars, breweries, food trucks, their staff, entertainment, and patrons, by creating community engagement and supporting local businesses. Here are some key features of the app:

For Restaurants-Bars-Breweries-Food Trucks-Staff:

Post Specials: Regularly post daily, weekly, and monthly specials with clear visibility on your profile.

Real-Time Deals: Share time-sensitive deals that customers must redeem through specific actions, such as a click, visit, like, or Follow.

In the Biz Section: This section displays the days and times of all "In the Biz" specials and is only visible to staff profiles on the app. Customers will not see this section.

Staff Profiles: Include detailed staff profiles on establishments page. Customers can view who’s working and access their profiles by tapping on their pictures.

Account Admin: Establishments can assign an admin to their account, such as a Social Media Manager, General Manager, or Owner. This allows the admin to switch between their personal account and any accounts they manage within their account. A user can be an admin for an unlimited number of accounts.

Messaging: All above entities have the ability to send messages to all their followers at once or to send a message to an individual.

Entertainment Scheduling:

Entertainment: Besides musicians, bands, and singers, this includes Trivia, Pool, Poker, Bingo, ect Nights.

Display: Show all entertainment schedules on the entertainment and establishment profile pages.

Posting: Entertainment can post their schedules on their page, which will trigger notifications to the establishment.

Notifications: You will receive notifications for new events, changes, or cancellations

Acceptance: To avoid confusion, you must accept or deny each event. Accepted events will be automatically added to the establishment’s calendar.

Edit/Deletion: If either party edits or deletes an event, both parties will be notified. Both parties will need to accept any changes or deletions to keep their calendars accurate. This process helps prevent issues related to no-shows, incorrect times, or dates. If you are on an establishment’s page and view their entertainment calendar, clicking on an entertainer’s name will take you to that entertainer’s page. Similarly, if you are on an entertainer’s page and click on the name of the establishment where the event is taking place, it will redirect you to that establishment’s page.
