AppyHour® for Bars & Restaurants: Promote Specials & Drive Foot Traffic
Drive butts to barstools and lips to glasses with real-time promotions that reach nearby customers at the point of decision-making.
The problem
Marketing your happy hours and specials shouldn't feel like shouting into the void.
AppyHour fixes that by putting your specials in front of high-intent consumers who are nearby, searching, and ready to visit.
Don't let your best offers go undiscovered.
Social media buries posts within minutes, print gets thrown out, and there’s no real-time channel to get your offers in front of high-intent consumers looking for happy hours and events nearby.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is AppyHour® Free For Bars and Restaurants?
Yes! We have a free tier for bars and restaurants with paid plans that unlock premium tools like geo-fencing, push-notifications, and advanced analytics.
Full features become free when your location is on a participating supplier footprint as a value-add activation tool for you and their brand placements.
How Long Does Setup Take?
Once you’ve signed in setup takes only 5-10 minutes.
Then you can set it and forget it until your specials, events, or offers change.
That’s the beauty of AppyHour—easy and effective, no learning curve required.
How Much Maintenance and Upkeep is Required?
Only 5-10 minutes per month on average depending on how frequently your specials change.
We’ll send you reminders to make sure you’re keeping your specials up-to-date, and include tips and tricks to get the most out of your tools according to what’s happening in the market.
How is AppyHour® Different Than Posting On Social Media?
Social media requires constant content creation, strategic timing, and appeasing an algorithm. Even with best efforts, only 4–6% of followers see an organic post, over the course of 2-3 days.
Your Taco Tuesday post ends up getting most of its views on Thursday.
AppyHour reaches people nearby, in the moment they’re deciding where to go, with LIVE specials and promotions they can enjoy right away.
