Fans of restaurant apps will welcome the launch of Foodcaching in Tacoma. Modeled after a treasure hunt with a geocaching vibe, Foodcaching is a mobile app for Android and iPhone smartphones designed to connect consumers with deal-driven, specific dining options. Looking for gluten-free, vegetarian, Thai or other specific dining options? Foodcaching makes searches easy and delivers deals straight to mobile phones - creating a fun way to have new dining and cocktail experiences in the Tacoma area.
Consumers using the Foodcaching app will find specials on what they are specifically interested in. They can then take advantage of these specials in real-time, not in a few days or with a printed voucher. There's no need to cut coupons; your mobile phone is the way to instant gratification and immediate savings.
