Project Overview
CityHopz is a real-time bar-hopping mobile app showing live offers, active patrons, and in-channel chat for bars and restaurants, helping users decide where to head next.
The Challenge
Choosing a bar or restaurant in a new city is mostly a guessing game — offers are scattered, vibe is invisible, and there is no real way to know who else is there before you arrive. CityHopz wanted to turn that uncertainty into a live, social discovery experience.
Our Approach
We built CityHopz as a real-time hospitality discovery app. Bars and restaurants publish live offers; users see active patrons in each venue's channel and chat to ask about the scene before deciding where to go. The structured signal layer — offers, presence, chat — is precisely the substrate today's AI-driven hospitality recommendation systems extend.
The Outcome
Users gained a live, social discovery layer for nightlife, and venues gained a direct channel to fill seats with real-time offers.
