Dunata is a new way to find local places with weekly food and drink specials (and events). It's designed to help you find who has specials on what day of the week, like BOGO appetizers on Mondays and half-price wine on Tuesdays. And it all starts with you! You can be an ambassador and add your favorite spots and their specials to share with other Dunata users. Restaurant managers can claim their places to take control of managing their own special information. We are focused on the Charlotte, NC area right now, but Dunata will work anywhere people want to use it. Just start adding places & specials, tell others about it and be a part of the Dunata revolution! The more people that use it the better it gets!
