For all restaurant lovers

What should I make?

Big or small, for diners or for restaurants. No technical knowledge required.

  • Underwrite a neighborhood: regulars lock FLY so the block never goes dark.
  • An index fund of a neighborhood's restaurants—own the whole street's rise.
  • A tap-to-check-in disc on every table that pays the kitchen the moment you sit.
  • A kitchen display that turns tonight's check-in surge into prep, in real time.
  • A card that earns FLY instead of miles—and seats you, not just points.
  • A travel app where every city already knows your taste and seats you on landing.
  • A dating app where the first date is a real, already-paid table, matched on taste.
  • The guide that can't be bought: ranked only on verified check ins.
  • A 'regulars wall' that's real: verified, ranked, and rewarded by the room itself.
  • Turn first-timers into members before they reach the door.
  • Collect restaurants like Pokémon—level up your city, block by block.
  • Streaks, quests, and boss-level tasting menus.
  • A café that pays you in ownership for your first coffee, every morning, for a year.
  • A last-call market: empty stools auctioned to the regulars nearby.
  • A supper-club platform: host dinners, sell seats, build a following.
  • A bucket list of tables you have to get to, with a nudge when you're near one.
  • A members' market where a beloved room's membership trades like a season ticket.
  • A bar issues a bond against its Friday nights, paid back to holders in FLY.
  • A doorbell for regulars: the bar lights your name and pours your usual as you walk in.
  • A whole POS that's just memberships, rewards, and payments—for the cart that can't afford Toast.
  • A corporate perk that quietly funds the whole team's lunches across the network.
  • A concierge in your texts that books, splits, pays, and remembers your table.
  • Your year in restaurants as a shareable, verifiable Wrapped.
  • Invite-only dining societies that admit you by your history, not your wallet.
  • A win-back engine: a regular's gone 30 days? Auto-send a little FLY to bring them home.
  • A demand heatmap of the whole city—not just your four walls.
  • A fantasy league for foodies, scored on the city's real check ins.
  • A food-creator platform where every video is one tap from a booked, paid table.
  • A 6am leaderboard of the earliest regulars at every espresso bar in town.
  • “Who's out tonight?”—see friends at the bar now, and pull up a stool.
  • A taste-matched dining club where every table is already booked and paid.
  • A concierge that learns your taste from your check ins and never picks wrong.
  • Let a chef sell next year's tables today—diners fund the kitchen and hold the upside.
  • Founding memberships that fund the second location—sold to the regulars who'd miss the first.
  • An NFC coaster that splits the tab and tips the bartender by name.
  • One loyalty wallet for your whole life out—coffee, dinner, the lounge—settled in FLY.
  • Restaurant status that opens airport lounges; lounge status that opens restaurants.
  • Your calendar, but every dinner is already reserved, paid, and earning.
  • A group chat that books the table, splits the bill, and tips the kitchen.
  • A city's nightlife leaderboard, scored on who actually shows up.
  • Price your Tuesday like an airline prices a seat—dynamic specials that fill the room.
  • A CRM that finally knows your real regulars: who, how often, how much.
  • Passport challenges—'10 ramen shops this winter'—that pay out in FLY.
  • Shoppable reels: tag the dish, viewers reserve and pay in a tap.
  • A coffee passport that earns FLY at every café and spends at all of them.
  • A feed that's just where everyone actually ate—verified by check ins.
  • A 'treat yourself' jar that quietly saves FLY for one unforgettable meal.
  • Turn a decade of verified check ins into the credit a restaurant borrows against.
