Looking for great dishes at places locals actually go? Scoutmob has teamed up with Foodspotting to bring over 500 deals to Foodspotting’s one million app users. Foodspotters and foodseekers now have instant access to Scoutmob’s 50-100% off deals directly in the Foodspotting stream — and it’s totally free, no credit card or up-front purchase necessary.

How it Works

When you launch the Foodspotting iPhone app in one of 13 major U.S. cities, you will see Scoutmob deals at businesses near you. There are nearly 500 deals available at any given time, encouraging you to support locally-owned restaurants. As always, no national chains, no laser hair removal.

You can redeem these deals by simply tapping on the deal and showing the confirmation screen on your iPhone - no credit card, print out, registration or purchase needed! Ever. On an Android phone? Stay tuned, as we’re working with Foodspotting to bring this feature to their Android app as well.

Foodspotting is a visual way to search for specific dishes you’re craving or browse the best dishes nearby. The internationally active community features only favorable recommendations and guides users to explore the best of local cuisine. It’s a fantastic way to see who’s weighed in on the best burger debate on your block.

We’ve loved working with Foodspotting’s team to make this possible, and as our first distribution partner, we’re excited to extend the reach of our local business owners to an audience of hungry foodseekers.

Celebrate with us

And what better way to celebrate this happy occasion but by eating? Join any of the four eat-ups we’re co-hosting with Foodspotting across the country - in San Francisco, Atlanta, New York City and DC. Each of these venues have active Scoutmob deal so that you can test out the Foodspotting + Scoutmob integration on the spot.

Please RSVP to attend. Just a heads up that we’re giving away a limited number of t-shirts to the first groups of attendees that arrive.

To connect the four events nationwide, we’ll have a Twitter contest to win a $50 gift card to the local eatery of your choice. Fire up the Foodspotting to see local restaurant deals, and tweet or Facebook about it with hashtag #mobspotting to be entered to win.
