No Credit Card is Needed to Redeem Real-Time Discounts

AUSTIN, TX (PRWEB) March 20, 2013

Leloca, the free Smartphone application which offers geo-targeted instant deals for exclusive restaurants based on a user’s location, which was recently featured in the New York Times, Crain’s New York Business and Huffington Post, will officially launch in Austin, Texas on April 1, 2013 (it is currently in beta). Leloca has been successfully connecting NYC foodies with real-time discounts (typically 30-50% meals) with open tables at more than 300 restaurants since 2012. Leloca's innovative deal platform offers Smartphone users instant deals without having to buy online, share personal financial information, or have to buy or print a voucher for redemption. Plus, unlike bigger discount services, merchants only pay about $1 per customer.

Leloca will feature $1 lunch and drink promotions from some of the top Austin restaurants including Southside Flying Pizza, Rockin’ Tomato and Taco Xpress.

“We created Leloca to help foodies save money while discovering new places and help local businesses increase profits. Smartphone apps such as Leloca make cities more efficient, increase discovery of new places, and reduce wasted electricity, food, rent, etc.,” says Leloca CEO Douglas Krone. “Austin is an exciting market for us because of its innovative tech scene, complete unique culture and proximity to one of the nation's largest universities.”
