Dancing in the Streets

No you weren’t hallucinating, a couple did randomly appear tango dancing in the middle of your neighborhood.

This is the work of TangoTab a new digital marketing platform that is changing the way restaurants reach target audiences while allowing them to maintain control over their message, offers, and traffic flow.

TangoTab kicked off their launch with a huge party in Dallas, their home base.  The party took place at Sfuzzi in Uptown on April 25th with a lot of downloading of the TangoTab iPhone  app.  In order to continue to build awareness, tango dancers are popping up in numerous locations in the New York City, Chicago, and Los Angeles areas.  They’re asking onlookers to complete the following sentence, “It takes _____ to tango”.  In order to engage other cities they are holding a video contest asking participants to send in a video of them completing the same sentence.

“We chose the name TangoTab based on the idea that it takes two to tango,” said Andre Angel, TangoTab founder and CEO.  “With TangoTab the restaurants create offers that make sense to them and are appealing to guests.  Guests receive great offers and reward restaurants by promoting restaurants to their social networks.   It’s a metaphorical tango dance.” added Angel.

TangoTab launched their site and app on April 25th and are quickly building momentum in the 12 major launch cities.  They will continue to add cities until they are available throughout the US and Canada.  Keep your eyes open and phone handy as there will soon be tangoing in your town!

In case you missed the Tango dancers in your neighborhood, you can see the videos submitted by the audience on TangoTab’s Facebook page.

The Epic TangoTab Launch Party

So our launch party last week was, in the words of my good friend Borat, “VERYNICE!” and he continued to state that it was a “GREAT SUCCESS!”  It was the Launch Party of all Launch Parties. Parties will be thrown in honor of this Launch Party for years to come. Hundreds of friends and supporters came out to Tango the evening away with us at Sfuzzi last Monday & we can’t thank you guys enough. DeeJay Tekneek killed it with an awesome custom set he put together for us, the management team at Sfuzzi was more than accommodating and the wait staff ended up being extremely patient when we flooded the patio with our crowd. Beads were given out, shirts with our logo on them were floating around everywhere, unlimited shots…. which ended up not being as dangerous as I thought it was going to be. (Thank you Dr. Pepper for helping me pace myself). We had the red carpet set up and a couple of photographers working through the crowd capturing pictures of every ones beaming faces. You can check those out on our Facebook page here. A couple of pro athletes were there, I’m no name-dropper but *cough* Marion Barber was there from the Dallas Cowboys as well, he was pretty excited to get to hang out with the TangoTab crew, no big deal. And in case you’re wondering what a TangoShot is, since our friends at Ketel One were gracious enough to sponsor our party and provide us with unlimited Ketel One Oranje Vodka, I reckon I can return the favor by putting their shot recipe up here:

  • 1 Giant cup of Ketel One Oranje
  • 1 Cranberry juice chaser

Yeah, it ended up being a fun night. Anyhow, long story short: thanks again, love y’all, download the app, register on our website, tell your friends how your life has become so much more infinitely better because TangoTab came into your life, and how it has helped you win friends, influence people & finally get that big raise you’ve been waiting on. Take it easy. Till next time… keep on TangoTab-ing.

TangoTab Drives Traffic to Restaurants by Flipping the Model Upside Down

DALLAS, TX – April 20, 2011 – Dallas based TangoTab puts control back into the hands of restaurants to drive traffic when they need it most.

Use the word coupon or daily deal and watch the team at TangoTab cringe. As a next generation digital marketer in the restaurant space, TangoTab drives traffic to restaurants when they want it. Their revolutionary solution aligns restaurant goals with guests’ desires and builds loyalty by rewarding guests for promoting restaurants and their offers.

“It’s all about the food, atmosphere and fun for restaurant-goers and expanding revenue streams for operators. It’s most definitely not about the coupon. That’s where a lot of existing solutions get it wrong,” says Andre Angel, TangoTab founder and CEO.

The founder of several successful technology startups, Angel spotted opportunity in the food service industry and put his technology background to use. “Looking into the financial equations of restaurants, I found serious issues with traffic and filling tables” said Angel. “Out of a seven day week most made all of their money over three days with empty tables and mounting operating costs plaguing the remainder of the week.”

The success of social deal and discount sites piqued Angel’s interest early on, but he found the model to be flawed and envisioned a better way – that better manages restaurant traffic and rewards consumers for talking up local establishments.

TangoTab operates a partnership model giving restaurants the flexibility to present limited time offers when it makes sense for their bottom line, not when there’s a schedule opening for the so-called daily deal.

“We put the tools and power in the hands of our partners,” says Angel. “By making it on their terms and breaking from the one-size-fits all couponing model to a hyper-local approach that’s best suited for local business.”

Launching officially on April 25th, TangoTab has already built a sizable following of potential restaurant guests awaiting news of deals at their favorite local eateries. Leading off in 12 markets, users will be able to access deals through the TangoTab website, mobile alerts (iPhone, iPad and Android platforms), Facebook, Twitter or email according to their preference. Offers are available in real time. For example, if a restaurant recognizes that Tuesday is a slow night, they can create a limited time offer that morning for a free appetizer between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m., controlling the offer, quantity and when they can expect the traffic. Just imagine walking down the street and getting a mobile alert for a deal nearby – reserving and redeeming it immediately. What’s more, guests pay the establishment directly, not TangoTab, eliminating the common confusion and frustration associated with daily deal services.

What differentiates TangoTab from other deal sites is the focus on the restaurant industry and commitment to their success, as well as giving guests better choices per day. TangoTab provides power and agility. The real-time interface is the key to connecting hungry customers to enthusiastic food joints. By focusing exclusively on managing restaurant traffic flow, there’s no pressure for owners to offer the deep – and often unprofitable – discounts that have left a bad taste in the mouths of many proprietors who have tried and rejected group couponing services.

“We’re in the business of providing an exceptional experience for both the restaurant and its local patrons.” TangoTab kicks-off with a launch party in Dallas, TX on April 25. They are launching in 12 major US cities, and will expand across the US and Canada over the next few months.
