KIRKLAND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pirq, a free smartphone app that provides consumers with instant deals at nearby restaurants, is proud to announce its new partnership with University of Washington’s Alumni Association. UWAA’s 55,000 members now have access to instant savings at more than 150 restaurants in the greater Puget Sound area, including select offers that are not available to the public. Through this partnership, Pirq will also donate 10% of proceeds from UWAA member transactions to support the UWAA mission.
“As a UW alumnus myself, I’m very proud to enter a partnership with UWAA,” said James Sun, CEO of Pirq. “Not only is Pirq a great added benefit to members, but it’s also an easy way for members to give back to UW.”
Currently available for iPhone and Android users, the free Pirq app gives its users access to instant discounts at local restaurants. With Pirq, UWAA members will save 20-50% off their total bill all day, every day. However, unlike other daily deal options, there is no pre-payment or printing of coupons to receive the deal. In order for UWAA members to receive the special version of the Pirq app, members can go to the UWAA and Pirq benefit page here and follow the instructions.
“Pirq is an innovative business founded by a UW alum, and it provides our members with relevant benefits they can access through their phones while generating support for the UWAA,” said Paul Rucker, Executive Director of UWAA. “Members will absolutely enjoy saving money with Pirq and, needless to say, we’re thrilled to be working with them.”
Redeeming a Pirq deal is quick and easy: customers simply show up at the restaurant and scan a Microsoft Tag with their phone. While Pirq enables users to save a substantial amount of money while dining out, it also delivers a tremendous amount of value to restaurants. Pirq's SmartYield™ technology recognizes when a restaurant is busy and when it is not, and then automatically makes real-time adjustments to the deals. This system helps restaurants maximize traffic during both off-peak and peak hours, creating a true win-win situation for both customers and restaurants.
