DiscoverVeggie.com is a New Online Service that Enables Foodies to Find Vegetarian Menu Options from Local Restaurants!

Find Local Meatless Eats - Anywhere! Come Discover Veggie and Bring Out Your Inner Herbivore!!

CHICAGO, IL, April 20, 2011

Greenmen Group, LLC has launched a one-of-a-kind online vegetarian friendly restaurant review website called DiscoverVeggie (www.discoverveggie.com).

DiscoverVeggie brings foodies together with a searchable directory of restaurant profiles which display venue details, reviews, and menus with meat dishes stripped away, providing consumers an easy way to find vegetarian cuisine from all types of local restaurants. Consumers can also 'fave' restaurants, share with friends, post up reviews, photos, and videos as well as flip flop (the art of converting a non-vegetarian dish into a vegetarian dish). Nirav Shah, CEO at DiscoverVeggie, explained, "DiscoverVeggie is here to bridge the gap between the vegetarian consumer and restaurants that offer vegetarian food. There are well over 7 million vegetarians in America and over 22 million more that lean toward a vegetarian diet. With this growing consumer base, more and more restaurants are offering vegetarian dishes. DiscoverVeggie is the only platform for foodies to discover or help create meatless menu options at these restaurants."

DiscoverVeggie brings another unique facet by empowering restaurant owners and managers to add or claim their restaurant's profile listing, helping them to stay connected with patrons. Restaurants are provided online tools to post up coupons, news, events, photos, videos, edit their menus, and send out fan blasts to consumers that 'fave' them. Sanjay Patel, President at DiscoverVeggie, explained, "National statistics show restaurant profits are down by 20% year over year. By simply listing on DiscoverVeggie, restaurants can better communicate with their patrons as well as open themselves up to new consumers, with the end goal of increasing profits. The listing process is easy. Any unlisted restaurant that has one or more vegetarian dish on its menu (or creates one on the fly) can quickly list a profile. Customer service is also more than happy to assist restaurants in adding a profile to the directory."

DiscoverVeggie plans to continue expanding their online services and features around facilitating the consumption of local vegetarian cuisine. The site currently hosts a growing directory of 7,000 vegetarian friendly restaurants and menus across 23 major cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Miami, and New York.

DiscoverVeggie is an innovative destination providing veggie and non-veggie foodies an easy way to find and review vegetarian cuisine from all types of local restaurants through the Internet. Founders, Sanjay Patel, Nirav Shah and Samir Patel, were three vegetarians who kept going to the same restaurants that they knew had vegetarian dishes. This quickly became unfulfilling and led them to create DiscoverVeggie to fill the void and encourage all vegetarians to go outside of their own "restaurant comfort zone."
