We have a back-end where bars are able to claim (and verify) that they own/manage/work at the establishment. then they can update their own prices. we are working with grocery and convenience stores to get a spreadsheet of prices that we can parse.

frankly, I never thought bars would keep their third-party profile pages updated, but we've been pleasantly shocked that they do!

How are you selling/convincing them on updating their prices?

free advertising! We have a lot of people who look at the site, and it is incredibly difficult to find drink deals online in one place (at least in Virginia), so people go to the places that are listed on our website that have the best deals. If you're not on the website, our users might overlook your bar. Seems like a good enough incentive to me. We will also market the ability to directly contact the bar's core crowd via push notifications and SMS when that is ready by the end of the summer.
