Users are able to search for beer and liquor serving establishments that offer certain types of Drinks (beer pitchers, shots, wine, martinis, margaritas, etc), Food (appetizers, wings, burgers, etc.), and other Features (billiards, darts, beer pong, karaoke, live music, etc). Users are able to list the search criteria results and/or map the search results on a Google powered map. Happy Hour Watch ("HHW") has a unique geoIP functionality that automatically lists the search results of local bars where the user logs in from. If the user goes to www.happyhourwatch.com in Columbus, OH, local search results will automatically show up on the homepage.
HHW has implemented social networking capabilities by allowing users to create a profile that keeps track of their favorite places. Users are now able to upload a profile picture and select a unique user-name. They can write reviews, make comments, and rate a bar with an all-new bar rating system. If HHW does not have accurate up-to-date information on existing bars, users are able to edit bar details and submit this to the HHW administrator for verification and approval. HHW plans to allow users to add friends and join groups. Once users are able to add friends and join groups, there will be a calendar available for each user to see events created by their friends. If users know of a bar that has a great happy hour that is not listed on HHW, they can submit this new bar's information and happy hour details to the HHW database. HHW utilizes user-generated content and encourages users to submit new bars and happy hour drink specials. To encourage participation, HHW will be having contests that reward users with free give-aways and prizes if they participate.
For bar owners, HHW offers advertising opportunities that target young adults and working professionals. Whether serving students on a tight budget or adults with a busy schedule, HHW is a one-stop shop for searching the best local drink specials across the nation.
