Today we’re going to spotlight Evan Walker and Rain Li, co-founders of Getta Bite App. We spoke with this duo just as season two was wrapping up. To refresh your memory, Getta Bite is an awesome app that helps you find deals on food and drink in the Atlanta area. Here’s a few updates on Getta Bite and a few ways you can help them during this time. You can now search “pickup” “curbside” and “eatlocal” on GettaBite to find takeout options and offers from local Atlanta restaurants that are still open. Atlanta restaurants need support. By ordering curbside takeout and delivery, we are helping to ensure that these local establishments and communities are still here with us when this is all over. We all benefit and we all win when we work together on this. If you are a restaurant owner, Getta Bite asks you to please reach out and let them know if you are still open and doing curbside takeout. Tell them what you’re offering and they will put it up on the app to help people find food!
