The Story Behind Glizmu℠
Glizmu℠ was born out of a real-world problem at a monthly event.
I wrote the first version of Glizmu℠ two years ago for a monthly event I and my team had put together. With only a cash bar and one bartender, I quickly saw the bottleneck forming. Guests were stuck in line, sales were slowing, and the energy of the event was fading. Pressed for time, by the next event, I had hacked together a solution using a simple shopping cart. Guests placed drink orders from their phones using the shopping cart I set up. The bartender would refreshed the tablet to see new orders, then filled them and passed them to an assistant to deliver. It wasn’t pretty on the backend, but it solved the bottleneck, kept the vibe alive, and boosted sales. I called it My Drink Tab.
That’s when I knew the idea could become something bigger. That basic start evolved into the dynamic platform we
are building called Glizmu℠, a free mobile & web app that takes the pain out of dining or going out for drinks. We’ve all been there: waiting for a table, over-crowded bars, flagging down servers and bartenders, standing in long lines waiting just to place an order.
Glizmu℠ changes that:
- You pull into the parking lot of a venue.
- Open the app (Glizmu℠ already knows where you are).
- The venue’s menu pops up—you order and pay right from your phone.
- The kitchen is notified when you're being seated and starts your order.
