Jan. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- Kansas City, MO – linkNdrink.com is a new website that is the first of its kind in Kansas City.  Bar goers in the greater Kansas City area, as well as Lawrence and San Antonio, now have the ability to search for drink specials and happy hours at a one stop shop; an iPhone application is set to appear in the iPhone App Store in late January.  The platforms display specials on the home page in a Twitter like feed and allow users the ability to narrow them down using searches.

Linkndrink.com makes it easy for the user to search for specials by removing all the clutter and allowing the user to use simple and efficient search functions that cater to their needs.  Neighborhood searches, bar searches, and even type of drink searches can all be found on the website.  President James Lake says, "Our number one goal is to give users accurate information and quick, easy access to drink specials."  His partner Travis Holt says, "the iPhone app will only make it more convenient for our users."

The pair of entrepreneurs has been working on the idea since the middle of 2009 when they became frustrated that it was difficult to find this type of information online.  "Whenever we searched the internet for drink specials or happy hours nothing came up and we ended up at the same 3 bars every time we went out," says Lake.  As they started to build the website and talk to their friends, they consistently heard similar feedback.  In addition to traditional grass roots marketing efforts, the pair is relying heavy on Twitter and Facebook to help spread the word.  They are currently categorized as a climber by the Twitter analytics website www.klout.com and some of their specials are being retweeted by bars and restaurants.  "Our first merchant to create an account found our site from Twitter and many other bars have reached out to us via Twitter," Holt says.  There are currently over 125 bars and restaurants in Kansas City and Lawrence whose specials are listed on the site.
