Apety - the app that makes eating out a piece of cake

Students from EPFL and HEC have just launched an app that streamlines how you organize a meal out with friends. In just a few taps, customers can choose their meal, invite friends and pay their share of the bill. Around 40 Geneva restaurants are already giving the app a go, as well as 10 Lausanne restaurants. What started as a class project soon gelled into a business idea. Four students have just started a company for their app called Apety, which is now available on the App Store.Their initial concept was simple: they were looking to make the most of their short lunch break and eat the dish of their choosing with friends. Based on their own experience, the friends thought how nice it would be if there were an app to do those things for them with just a few taps. "Apety came out of our third-year project for Marc Gruber's Social and Human Sciences (SHS) course on entrepreneurship in 2016.
