The month of December was good for us. We weren't going to launch until Jan but a chef contacted us and wanted to get started right away. We gave an amazing deal on the first event and sold out. We ultimately had 3 events in Dec which increase in price each time and we sold out every one. This early start caused us hack together the unfinished bits of the site very quickly and helped us find and squash a ton of bugs in the code and actually parts of the UX. We even had a chef from another country try to start using our site. (we're still trying to determine if it was the right thing to do to support another country since we initially planned to focus on NYC and keep it small right now Thoughts?) We're still doing the "official" launch in Jan where we'll roll out our actual roster of chefs but it's encouraging that our service got picked up by word of mouth and attracted chefs and diners pretty much on its own, especially considering we've had zero press to date. Also it's nice to see revenue a month prior to launch since we planned for the worse and didn't expect revenue until March at the earliest. [edit] the service is soupnextdoor.com.
