EatNow.com Offers Large Database of Local Restaurant Menus and GPS Mapping of Delivery Availability for Six Major Northeast Cities

Teenage entrepreneurs Nat Turner, Adam Parker, and Zach Weinberg have taken time away from their schedule at the prestigious Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania to announce the launch of EatNow.com, a new website designed to help consumers browse local restaurant menus and place orders over the internet. EatNow.com offers consumers unprecedented menu variety, offering more restaurant choices than its competitors in every one of its current markets.

Turner, Parker and Weinberg all met during freshman year at Wharton. They began discussing business opportunities in early February and created EatNow.com in April. During their first meeting the trio developed an advanced GPS matching algorithm allowing EatNow.com to pinpoint exactly which restaurants will deliver to a specific address based on latitude and longitude coordinates. The young entrepreneurs then moved towards collecting participating restaurants in different cities, traveling as full-time salesmen during their summers and sleeping at various fraternity houses as they scouted area restaurants.

The result of their creativity and hard work is EatNow.com, a new website dedicated to providing accurate and efficient online ordering from local restaurants. EatNow.com improves on its competitors' business model by catering to three key demographic areas--collegiate, residential and corporate--simultaneously. College students can sort restaurants based on EatNow.com's database of over 50 education institutions, and residential and corporate customers can sort restaurants based on their address.

EatNow.com's internally developed GPS software ensures that delivery locations are accurately matched with participating restaurants. The GPS technology draws out the delivery range of each area restaurant and compares customer addresses to that range in order to determine delivery availability. Customers receive an accurate list of available restaurants instantaneously, speeding the order process and ensuring customer satisfaction. EatNow.com also plans to introduce a range of other exclusive features following its launch period, including saving favorite orders, group ordering and an EatLater feature.

Nineteen-year-old Nat Turner, CEO of EatNow.com, has attracted the attention of the world's media for his unusual business aptitude, having started over twelve companies in his short career. Turner has become one of the most-recognized teenage entrepreneurs in the world; his story has been featured in over 200 newspapers and magazines worldwide including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, The New York Post, Time Magazine, Entrepreneur Magazine and USA Today.

"EatNow.com dramatically improves upon online restaurant ordering technology and offers a more detailed database of local restaurants, complete with delivery range," said Turner. "Our objective in creating EatNow.com was to facilitate not only quick and easy online ordering but also to introduce a range of other features, such as our GPS delivery mapping system, which our competitors do not provide. We believe that EatNow.com is the most advanced online ordering system available, and are confident that consumers will appreciate the many benefits our site offers."

EatNow.com is now available online at www.eatnow.com.
