Does it just show everyone the same stuff? Or is it personalised to my ratings?


What do you mean "after moving in"?

That's a good idea. I always wonder: what if the site is already set up correctly or what if you can't make any movement in search rankings (due to competition, industry, anything)


You sleep in their shops of course! "Oh, don't mind that woman sleeping beside the cans of soup, she is our SEO expert!"

By rotating where you sleep among your clients, you build stronger relationships and have better insight into their business.


Sorry, I mean after relocating to a new area, that's a nice thing that helped make some small money FAST... I just moved, and was waiting for a payment from my biggest consulting client, but me & wife really needed some money. That's what I did.


Except it is limited to 16 people


that is an issue. i did not see that problem a few minutes ago. I actually lost a few comments there as was bumped.


That's a good idea. I guess I'd have to look into shipping food and other products


I can write you one if you can't find one


How can I contact you?


There's not many bus services in my city and the taxi situation is:

- Flag the taxi down - all the same price

- Hailo which loads of people use all the time now

- 20% discount taxis

- 25% discount taxis

So I don't think we really have a taxi problem


Lucky you. Our taxis prices are all over the place, some charge a callout fee and others don't, and some hide the meter and charge whatever the hell they want - I'd use a price comparison service for this for sure


That sounds great haha. I live in Ireland so it's bound to be popular!


As a fellow Irishman I agree, it could work very well with tourists too, a drinking tour of Dublin where you have to solve the leprechaun's riddles markets itself!


Some university students did this in my city recently. I was disappointed that they overpriced it (1 euro for a cup of lemonade)


Charging 1 euro is practical (so they don't have to be giving out a ton of change during the day...), but it sounds like they should have made sure they were offering something that didn't look too cheap -- e.g., get decent quality plastic cups that aren't tiny, do some actual work for each customer (instead of just pouring from a massive pre-filled jug), include a lemon wedge in each cup, etc..

I can easily imagine a lemonade-stand lemonade that would seem underpriced at 1 euro; but obviously they didn't take that approach!


Your title is a common quote, I'm not sure if you're misusing it on purpose or not


Yeah, it's a play on Franklin's "If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail!" because I think in the startup space the age old quote isn't quite right.


I'm thinking things like pizza price comparison apps etc


I almost thought you said Pizza compression, but I think that was actually done in back to the future part II.
