E-numan Bar App: Business Idea

E-numan Bar app is a mobile app that aims to provide a virtually possible live event and nightlife experience that users can access anytime and anywhere.

It all started with one incessant longing for the life we had before the pandemic. It is not really that there was a night life before for the proponents, but the time where they're free to mingle with friends and just go on about our day was the start of the memory train. What they really missed was the frequent (by frequent, they mean almost daily) dose of milk tea and caffeine. It sounded so privileged, but on hindsight there was a story of how the pandemic affected these business sectors. It was a snowball effect that they realized that not just their favorite shops were affected, but also the sectors in nightlife and even the concert industries.

PROBLEMS E-NUMAN BAR APP AIMS TO SOLVE

• Since the pandemic started, social gatherings and close-contact interactions violate quarantine protocols;

• Live events and nightlife are the first sectors to close but the last ones to reopen; and,

• An expensive night out!

DIFFERENCE OF E-NUMAN BAR APP TO EXISTING PRACTICE

Existing products or applications that could closely compare with the E-numan Bar app comes into different platforms. For instance, Stay the F*ck Home Bar is an online street bar, created during the pandemic surge, where you can virtually meet strangers. It goes along now with the Stay Real project. Thus, rather than a corporeal bar who offers real drinks and food the online street bar was just an online avenue of meeting people with diverse content and real-time entertainment.

In terms of food delivery services, there were a few to note where aside from being our competitors were also a part of our inspiration – the Foodpanda and Grabfood app. Both were online delivery service apps available to offer services in delivering food and drinks a customer desired. Thus, also constrained in just the mentioned services.

SDG 8 DECENT WORK AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

Covid 19, a widespread pandemic that punctured the business industry. Live events and nightlife are the first sectors to close but the last ones to reopen. Through the E- numan Bar app, a sector depleting due to the recent pandemic might rise again; give the opportunity to displaced workers, and pave a new way for the bars, nightlife, and live events sectors of the Philippines. Furthermore, patrons concerned about the hefty expenses of bars and nightclubs can still chill in and relax, while not missing out on the fun of socializing.

EXCELLENT MARKET OPPORTUNITY

Based on the latest statistics about the social media statistics in the Philippines at 2020, found in Talkwalker Quick Search Philippines, there are approximately 61.3 millennial and

gen z of legal age online users. (Dan, 2020) The aforementioned number is the Serviceable Obtainable Market (SOM) for our company. It was driven out of the growing Serviceable Available Market with 73 million online users at current 100 million Philippine total population.

HOW IS IT GOING TO SELL?

E-numan bar app starts with the local bars around Southern Metro Manila for the bar partnerships. Additionally, the live streaming would be best to start locally here in the Philippines. This involves the local artist, entertainers, groups, and bands.
