I started a web design company, and ended up going to college in Florida, but kept on running the company on the side. That's when it clicked for me, realizing that for some reason, everything online is on-demand. The underlying issue is we don't know what to watch, which makes on-demand a really bad experience.

We let restaurants set pricing based on demand, and then if you're hungry looking for a place to eat, we match you up with a restaurant offering a great deal. Also, restaurants really love it because they only pay per customer, that they can take control of how many customers they are receiving based on demand. How do users do that?
