Problem
Local businesses often have predictable slow periods where seats, tables, or appointment slots remain unused, resulting in lost revenue that cannot be recovered later. Customers seeking affordable options lack a centralized way to discover time‑specific discounts at nearby venues.
Solution
OffPeak provides a web‑based platform that lets businesses create and publish time‑bound promotions with customizable discount amounts, redemption caps, and precise schedules. The platform automatically lists these offers to nearby consumers, who can claim limited‑quantity deals instantly through a mobile interface. By targeting off‑peak windows, businesses can fill otherwise idle inventory without needing design tools or a dedicated marketing budget. Customers benefit from real‑time notifications of local savings, encouraging them to try new establishments during discounted periods. The system tracks redemptions to enforce caps and ensures promotions are only active within the defined time slots.
Target Audience
Primary customers are local restaurants, cafes, salons, gyms, and other service‑oriented businesses with predictable low‑traffic periods, as well as price‑sensitive consumers looking for nearby time‑limited discounts.
