LocalEats is a venture-backed restaurant information/recommendation service that operates in the United States and in 50 international cities.
It developed a popular iPhone application [1] and has a website similar to Google-owned Zagat, Yelp, and IAC/InterActiveCorp-owned Urbanspoon. [2] In early 2011, LocalEats launched its iPad app, which added 50 international cities [3] to its U.S.-based guide. Later in 2011, LocalEats partnered with restaurant deal aggregator BiteHunter [4] to bring deal information into its website and app for deals at LocalEats featured restaurants.
The firm has also partnered with VC-backed SinglePlatform [5] to offer in-app menus for more than 12,000 of its 14,000 selected restaurants.
