Plaum

That perfect meal around the corner? Plaum helps you find it the way it actually felt. For Ottawa's food lovers. 🍜

Our Plaum QR flyers are printed, tested, and delivered to Quick Bites 122 in Ottawa.

One more way for local food lovers to discover the app.

Your restaurant’s numbers shouldn’t be buried in spreadsheets.

Plaum brings order activity and restaurant analytics into one dashboard.

Own a restaurant in Ottawa? We’d be happy to show you around.

@ottawacity has plenty of food spots worth exploring.

We’re building Plaum to make discovering local restaurants easier, whether you’re searching by cuisine, checking what’s open, or exploring the map.

@ray_kovalev Thanks for your feedback!

[Plaum @plaum_co]

Can’t decide what to eat?

Plaum has an AI food assistant that helps you explore food options. You can even interact with it using your voice.

@ray_kovalev This is the discover page, as you can see some dish cards have the calories displayed while others don’t, its just because we dont have enough restaurants onboard the app yet. We are actively looking for ways to get these restaurants onboard the app.

[Plaum @plaum_co]

@ray_kovalev Yeah we do have calorie info but its limited sadly. Only a few dishes we were able to find calorie dishes.

It will get better with more restaurants onboard

[Plaum @plaum_co]

Ordering at a restaurant shouldn’t require another complicated process.

Plaum supports QR-based dine-in ordering, giving restaurants another way for customers to place orders.

Running a restaurant involves more than taking orders.

Plaum brings staff communication into the restaurant dashboard, so teams have another way to stay connected while managing daily operations.

#Ottawa #BuildInPublic #Startups #FoodTech

[Plaum @plaum_co]

A restaurant shouldn’t need another complicated system just to manage reservations.

That’s why we included reservation management in Plaum’s restaurant dashboard, with no reservation fee.

Free of charge!!!

Someone commented on our Plaum ad and made me wonder how many potential users we’ve already lost.

Apparently, searching “Plaum” on the App Store brings up “Plum” instead.

But search “Plaum Inc” and our app appears.

We’re paying for people to discover an app they might struggle to find 😭

Anyone dealt with this?

We shipped a guided onboarding walkthrough for Plaum’s web app today.

Nothing groundbreaking lol.

But opening a new platform and having absolutely no idea what half the buttons do is annoying.

So now we highlight the important controls and explain them in plain English, page by page.

Hopefully fewer confused first-time users. That’s the goal.

Building @plaum_co has taught me something I didn’t fully appreciate as a developer:

A good product doesn’t distribute itself.

We shipped. Now I’m watching impressions, page views, downloads and conversion, things I rarely thought about while coding.

Building the product is one challenge.

Getting people to care is another.

Man this tech job market is f***ed up, seriously

I came across an Instagram reel from a Nigerian VC and he said:

“Market your startup like a scammer.”

It sounds weird I know, but hear me out

If you can immediately recognize that a scam is a scam, you probably weren’t its target audience.

Scammers understand that not everyone is their customer. Their message is designed to speak directly to a specific type of person.

So, the lesson isn’t to deceive people. It’s to understand your audience so well that, at first glance, the right person thinks “OMG, this is for me.”
