Foodler.com has but one objective regarding taking home the "shorty" and that is, taking home the "shorty"! Make no mistake, it will be a battle till the bitter end, but it is a battle we are meant to win. We take pride in our product, our staff, our users, and of course our restaurant partners alike, and it is our hope that by winning the shorty we'll be able to transcend even further into the stratosphere bringing great convenience, customer service and awesome food, to an even larger group of these folks that we care so much about.
Our strategy is, that we are going for the win in the newly formed category, the "small business" shorty award instead of the "facebook" shorty where we'd be competing with giant companies. We have a better chance at taking home the win in the small business category because "small business" is a more appropriate categorization for our business as that is what we are, we are a small, organically grown, company from Boston MA. with far reaching strong, branches that span the United States and of course one city in Canada as well! Judges, we hope you will consider all of this when completing your task and will choose us, the Foodler family for the honor of winning the first annual "small business" shorty award!
