Restaurant, Bar & Retailer No-Code App
I launched this no-code glideapp yesterday. It aggregates all restaurants, bars, breweries, retailers, artists, etc... still open for delivery, pick up or online sales in the Milwaukee area.

I'd really appreciate some critiques and ideas to make it more useful.
And maybe some ideas to get the word out for it? I've been DM'ing restaurants on Instagram, Tweeting local news anchors and restauranteurs, reddit commenting, highlighting in local slack channels, etc...
Paul,
I really liked your idea and concept of collating essential services at this hour.
My 2 cents of feedback on the App: {Your guide to local restaurants, retailers, artists and how to support them.}
But overall a great effort.
Hope, this reaches to as many people !
Good thought on the Give Directly note. My thought process highlighting those donation options is that the staff members of these establishments are going to be suffering the most. Need to think through the altruistic aspect of this thing more than the user interface.
You're right on for the products and services. Haven't had a chance to think through the structure and how to execute on it in Glide.
Thanks for your thoughts!
As usual, Glide strikes again!
I like it!
How do you get the info about the places and how do you know they're still open?
I've documented almost everything in this doc I've been sharing with others interested in building one for their city: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j5nI-qCsVNaY3JlYPJxgiqKGUYQ2mwkH_pPsM-qwLEI/edit
Short answer: I used a virtual assistant to help add the data to my Google Sheets from multiple local publishers making their own lists, as well as a few Facebook groups that were created in the wake of restaurants having to go full delivery and pick up.
Hey Paul. Are you going to make something like a marketplace?
It looks like you make now the first steps to it.
Haven't considered any way to monetize it yet but I'm sure simply having the database available is going to be a solid first steps to a business of some sort.
Some have recommended a tip jar to simply cover my expenses.
I'm part of The Hustle Trends FB group and I've had around 20 other members interested in duplicating the app in their city. A couple have already pulled the trigger.
Columbus, OH: https://supportcbus.glideapp.io/
San Diego, CA: https://sandiegounite.com/
Perhaps there's a way to merge all of them in a few weeks to get a head start on a national app, but one step at a time.
If you have other thoughts on getting the word out, improving it, or want to help just hit me up! paul@lemleymedia.com
Interesting to hear. Seems you have a demand before starting your project. I've thought about the similar draft idea, but with connecting to the delivery services. That is why I've interested. Depends on the visitor's location you can suggest to them relevant data.
