We’ve got one simple goal in mind. To make Online Ordering a common concept and not something reserved for big fortune 500 restaurants. We want to bring big features with normally large price tags to small mom and pop shops that normally wouldn’t be able to afford a web site let alone online ordering.
With Hungry1, anyone will be able to order from any restaurant in the world (technically, but we are going to start with the USA). How will customers be able to place orders? Many ways including… via the web, text messaging (SMS), instant messaging (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, Google Talk, and Jabber), Twitter, Facebook, and an iPhone / iPod Touch application.
The great part is that we’ve already spent more then a year working on this concept in our free-time (or lack thereof) and we need your help to get it off the ground.
What’s in it for you? Check out the VIP Perks and get special bonuses for donating a certain amount, starting at $1 — yes, even a dollar helps.
All backers will receive a special Invite card that has a re-usable invite number so that you can give or send the card to your friends, family, and loved ones. Also, you will be able to track where (geographically) your card has gone and who has signed up!

| HOW THESE FUNDS WILL BE USED |
If your contribution reaches the threshold for a perk you don't only get that perk, you also get all the perks of lesser value. For instance, $5 gets you 25 invites AND Alpha/Beta access to web site. Applies to all perks.
This round of funding will be used in its entirety to cover the expected cost of Hungry1's services and server for a full 6 months. The heart of Hungry1, an automated phone call, costs a whopping $0.03 cents a minute which will add up very very quick with a lot of users actively using the service.
The funding received will also go to cover the cost of the dedicated server that will be needed to power Hungry1 and all its services and features.
We plan to make Hungry1 a self-sustaining platform that is capable of covering its own costs, we just need a little help getting this beast off the ground safely. |

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will it be free?
Our goal is to make an extremely functional basic service free for both the restaurant and the end-user. The reality is that in order to run a service like this, some sort of revenue is required. Our hopes are that restaurants will help fund the basic framework by purchasing small service upgrades, features, and marketing campaigns. We plan to always keep it this way, however we cannot predict the future and cannot guarantee that everything will remain free and unlimited until the end of time.
- I can order from any restaurant? How’s that?
Google provides the magical list of restaurants. You provide your location, Google LocalSearch provides a list of restaurants, we connect the dots. This is also why technically it will work for any restaurant in the world except a select few scenarios explained in the next question and answer.
- What determines a restaurants availability in Hungry1?
Presently the only real limitation is whether or not Google has you added to their LocalSearch database. We cannot control this, however we are looking to potentially provide new restaurant entries directly to Google, if it is possible.
- Can I order online from all restaurants found in Hungry1?
Nope. Once you locate a restaurant they first and foremost must have a telephone so that we can call them to place your order (although, other options of restaurant notification will be available so some restaurant may be exempt from this claim). Some restaurants simply do not offer take-out or delivery, we cannot change this. As a courtesy we allow restaurants to prevent Hungry1 from placing orders to their establishment, this may also impact your ability to place an order.
- I own a restaurant, can I learn more about Hungry1’s services and/or become a Beta restaurant?
Ab-so-lutely. Please contact us at info@hungry1.com and we would be more then willing to make you part of the fun. We’ve got some exciting things already in the works and we just need some willing participants to take them for a test drive.
- Who is behind all this madness?
It’s a huge 2-3 man team that goes by the name of VISHUN Studios and this has been our “hobby” for the past year. We’ve worked on this project in our free-time, or lack thereof. We hope you have some faith in us, as we really need your help to make this project possible. Tell your friends about us :)

Hi Kevin, love the idea. It would have been great to have had this around UT-Austin’s campus while I was a student. Best of luck to you in your fundraising efforts! :)
