party goers.
 Once user confirms he is 21 or more, he shall see the next screen for bar location (current
location or search his city). After choosing your city the user shall then select which type of bar
( for example sports bar, dive bar, speakeasy/prohibition bar, arcade/game bars. clubs for city
like Vegas and Miami.
 After choosing you city and type of bar you are looking for then it should pop up a list of bar

(coming from backend) and we should rotate ever two weeks (using admin)which bars are going
to be the top 10 in that area if will be easier to do this once we get users downloading and
hitting the application because then we can pull data and users comments on who got the most
hit and which bars more users seem to be attached to.
 A user shall be able to check-in the bar on the app, when he physically checks in.
 Once you chose the bar you want to look at the bars main page will come up and on this it will
have a link to the bars website, direction, and also the bar will have the ability to post pics of
flyers they have promoting any events (via bar login on web), they will be able to post videos of
any past performers that will be coming back soon, their happy hour specials and anything they
want to post pertaining to the bar. We can call it bar details screen.
 Also on the bars page there should be another icon that says feed and on the feed page which
shall be live stream on anything party goers and other people are saying about that bar for
example Facebook, twitter and instagram post that are associated with the bar ( if there is a
hashtag or geo tag location then that should reflect on bar)
 On feeds page, there shall be an icon that says GO LOVE and with this icon party goers will have
the ability to post a 10 second video of them while they are in that specific bar and once they
have that video they shall post it to their feed so that way it is another way to show users what is
going on in real time in that bar.
 Party goers should have the ability to go to the feed the feed page they should have the ability to
scroll and see what other people have been saying about that bar for example if there is a
twitter, instagram of Facebook post with that current location tag of the bar or the bars hashtag
if should show up on the feed page for view to be able to see what is going on in real time.

a. Features of Website for bar owners

 Signup, registration after authentication (via email ID or phone number).
 Bars will have their own profile page that they can update with their info (name, contact person,
email, Twitter/ fb, location on map, pictures, description, specialty).

9. Mockups or drawings to depict Apps flow:-
