Paire is the alternative to traditional restaurant recommendation platforms that curate social + public reviews to issue one-size-fits-all ratings.
The prevalence of fake and purchased reviews on sites like Yelp, Trip Advisor and Google force many independent business owners like you, to sign-up for advertising packages or purchase other ancillary business services in order to have fraudulent & harmful reviews deleted, pushed down out of view or invalidated and removed entirely in order to prevent them from impacting your overall star rating.
By developing a hack-proof personalized platform that's powered by private (instead of public) ratings - we've removed the need to "game the system" entirely and in-turn, offer independent restaurants & bars free relevant exposure with no strings attached - simply by matching them with the guests who are most likely to love what they're doing.
A few years ago, a group of about 30 owners, operators, chefs & managers joined our think tank to help us test the MVP/prototype of the app that is now Paire.
Those who helped know it wasn't all champagne & appetizers - and that I'm forever grateful for the feedback they provided as it not only helped us shape the look and feel of the app; but also gave us the ideas for some of our most popular features.
I'm now thrilled to announce that we're ready to test a limited enterprise version of Paire for owners that we call: PairePRO - and we're, once again, asking fellow industry professionals for help.
For owners of brick & mortar outlets, food trucks, pop-ups and ghost kitchens who are willing to check out PairePRO and tell us what they think - we'll be offering an access code for a free lifetime PRO membership when we formally launch it later this year.
We built Paire to accommodate guests with unique preferences or specific dietary restrictions and to support the independent restaurants that make up the very fabric of every vibrant community.
They say "your job doesn't define you." but this industry is an incalculably huge part of who I am. With the exception of my family, hospitality is my greatest passion, my greatest source of joy and my greatest source of fulfillment. So, after more than three decades in this industry (from a busboy/dishwasher to an owner and consultant) I can say with certainty - that although my work in hospitality may not define me - the hospitality in me definitely defines my work.
I'd be grateful if any similarly wired individuals would lend a hand in helping us continue building something great.
Regards,
Josh Sapienza
P.S. - There's no need to sign-up if you'd like your restaurant listed on Paire. If you have a website, social media page, Google My Business profile, Yelp Listing or OpenTable account - we've likely already found you online and created a general listing of your business from publicly available information. Verified accounts on PairePRO will however give you the chance to customize your profile and enhance your listing...and we'll be offering that opportunity for FREE to a limited number of our early adopters.
