Local flavor, global Impact: creating Scrumbly App

An app designed to help local restaurateurs, Scrumbly provides a platform for community restaurants to advertise in a way that both meets their budget and reacts to the needs of the current market.

With inflation outpacing wages, it’s tougher than ever for mom-and-pop shops to compete with conglomerates like McDonalds and Applebees. While the big chains continue to dump money into advertising their money-saving deals, local restaurants who can’t afford it are getting lost in the noise.

That’s where Scrumbly App comes in.

By giving local restaurants a clear channel and making advertising more cost-effective, Scrumbly CEO Jackson Feldmon is leveling the playing field.

And, by charging per click, Scrumbly ensures local restaurateurs are only paying for effective ads.

In short, Scrumbly makes life a little more local and a lot more delicious.

As an entrepreneur with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration, Jackson never needed to learn how to code. He was more interested in building businesses than building apps.

That’s why he was able to see why local restaurants were struggling against their big-chain rivals. And, once he pinpointed the problem, he knew the solution: an app designed to support local restaurants.

But without a background in coding and development, Jackson could only dream up the plans – not bring them into reality. So when Jackson heard about Lemon.io on his favorite podcast, he seized the opportunity.

So, Jackson found a designer and ironed out the UX design.

With a design roadmap in hand, he knew his next step was to hire a dev to make his app a reality. Alongside Lemon.io, he considered Upwork. But while the lower hourly rate was tempting, he was worried about the quality of devs available on that platform.

Knowing he wasn’t able to effectively vet a hire himself, Jackson returned to Lemon.io to find the right dev.

Lemon.io delivered Jackson a list of devs who could start working immediately.

His first match seemed solid, so Jackson hired him and set him to work. But, after a few weeks, the startup chemistry between the developer and Jackson waned. So, they parted ways. Learning from that experience, Jackson headed back to Lemon.io with more refined expectations.

And that’s when Jackson found and hired a new divine developer.

With a passionate dev building the app, Scrumbly is well on its way to launch – and helping Jackson’s local restaurant community flourish.

And a new developer? He’s super excited to be part of a project that is going to make a positive local change.

With coming back to Lemon.io a few more times, Lemon.io became a go-to partner for Currents to build on their flawless product vision.
