## What is HotBites Specials?

WHAT’S HAPPENING TONIGHT?

HotBites is your Digital Hostess for discovering what local restaurants are offering right now.

Instead of searching restaurant websites, social media pages and email lists, open HotBites and see dining opportunities in one place — right when you’re deciding where to eat.

DISCOVER MORE THAN JUST RESTAURANTS

HotBites helps you find:

• Today’s restaurant Specials
• Limited-time offers
• Limited-quantity offers before they’re gone
• Dining events and special experiences
• Upcoming Specials so you can plan ahead

MAKE DINING OUT MORE AFFORDABLE

Going out should still be fun — even when the cost of dining out matters.

HotBites helps you discover restaurant Specials and offers that can make a night out easier on your budget while supporting the local restaurants you love.

It’s a win-win: diners discover more value, while restaurants can fill tables and reach hungry customers at the moment they’re deciding where to eat.

DINING GETS SOCIAL

See a Special you like?

Mark yourself Interested or Going, connect with Friends, see what they’re interested in, invite them to join you and turn “Where should we eat?” into an actual plan.

SEE WHAT’S HAPPENING NOW

A favorite restaurant may have a Special tonight.
Another may be hosting an event.
Someone nearby may have just released an offer available to only a limited number of diners.

HotBites helps you find those opportunities while they’re still special.

FOR LOCAL DINING. FOR LOCAL RESTAURANTS.

HotBites is launching in Fort Collins and Northern Colorado to help diners discover more reasons to go out while giving restaurants a direct way to promote what’s happening now.

Open HotBites before your next night out and answer the question:

What’s happening tonight?
