Help with directory business startup costs

$220 of $40,000 goal
Given by 7 generous donors in around 7 months

With funding for our directory app, restaurants across the country will enjoy the highest level of online visibility to date! $40k target.

New Plymouth, Taranaki

Our directory was built to connect the various preferences of hungry diners with the restaurants that cater for them.

Our application benefits local restaurants in about six different ways, in exchange for a small subscription fee. After our service and app is in full operation, we will donate at least 4x the funding we received from here, especially if it’s towards new startups.

Every little bit you can send helps. We’re at the point now where there’s little more we can do without funding for our app development. We also intend to take our directory outside of NZ, where it can boost struggling restaurants.

Use of funds

$25k for app construction - starting with a $3k wireframe version. At the very most, $6k for legal expenses. We have a lot of agreements to draw! $5k for freelance support, mainly content writing. $4k for advertising costs and materials.

Latest update

The beginning of a game changer.  14 June 2024

Welcome to our page!

We are an upcoming application designed to connect hungry diners with the restaurants that cater to their specific tastes, budgets, cultures, and restrictions.

Building an online presence can be a challenge for any business. Information needs to be updated regularly, websites need to be maintained and kept secure, and advertising can get very expensive, especially if ads are displayed across multiple pages.

But what if maximum visibility could be brought to restaurants at minimal cost?

What if we were pre informed about which local restaurant is best suited to our requirements, regardless of how extensive those requirements are? And without consulting a single website?

And what if we could start building review sections for these restaurants with a focus on freshness, relevancy, and authenticity?

We have the solution.

With your support, we can begin the construction of our application. We can start to establish connections between the superb restaurants of NZ, and people looking for a full picture of meals suitable for them, even at a countrywide level!

And at no cost to the customer too!

Our support comes from a small subscription fee paid monthly by restaurants that use our service.

Thank you for your donations, your shares, your love. I’m absolutely committed to delivering this quality service for life.

Paul Cooper.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
