Bringing Connection Back During the Pandemic, ‘GO Live’ Exclusively Available on The Odd Market

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- The Odd Lot Foundation announced today they have developed a proprietary platform that allows sellers to subscribe to their GO Live platform enabling them to be connected with customers like never before.

Unlike chatbots and video response services that have you record a message, send to the owner, and then wait for a video reply, GO Live connects you live and in person immediately and on-demand. It's the brainchild of the husband and wife team, Phillip and Shelly Dane behind The Odd Market.

The Dane family has been producing events in Southern California for the past 30 years. GO Live is about connection, filling the void as events and stores are not operating due to COVID-19.

"We have over 3000 registered Sellers who attend our events to earn their living. In March, that cane to a sudden stop. People were losing their day jobs and no place to sell their wares. There were no events to attend and stores were shut down. GO Live was born out of COVID-19," said Phillip Dane.

After almost 5 months in development, GO Live is now live and on the Odd Market website: https://theoddmarket.com/.

GO Live is an affordable subscription service available to all Sellers on The Odd Market site. When a customer is on a product page on theoddmarket.com, they will see the Supplier (artist or maker) and a link to their bio, a link to all their other products, and the GO Live button.

When a customer clicks GO Live, the supplier is notified on an app with the option to accept or decline the incoming video call. If they accept, within seconds the customer is connected on a video call with the supplier.

Think of it as virtually walking into a boutique or craft show booth and being able to have face to face but with GO Live it's from the comfort of your home. A supplier could be home, on a beach. walking their dog and always available. In a time where connection is craved, GO Live delivers the solution. Customers feel confident when they can video call with the owner of a product. It's fun and personable and it's exclusively available on theoddmarket.com.

Bistro Planet Launches New Feature to Automate the Way Food Trucks Secure Prime Vending Spots

LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Bistro Planet, the first company to connect the entire food truck marketplace under one platform, announces the launch of their Lot Booking Marketplace service in the Los Angeles metro area. The Bistro Planet app is currently used by foodies to locate nearby food trucks in real-time, view menus, and place orders; now the food truck owners themselves can use the technology to book a coveted vending spot at some of L.A.'s most popular food truck lots in just a few clicks.

Inspiration for the lot booking feature came from popular travel and home-sharing booking sites that solve some very complex supply-demand problems. The food truck industry has been ripe for new technology solutions that are tailored for this growing market. With the Bistro Planet Lot Booking Marketplace, food truck owners login and see a calendar view of their trucks' bookings, select vending spots from a listing of lots available around town, and even see load-in instructions, site manager contact info, and other trucks vending alongside their selected space.

Bistro Planet's Lot Booking Marketplace is already in use by multiple premier property management companies, event organizers and lot bookers in L.A. who list their parking lot inventory on the platform.

"Finding a safe, legal, visible place to park a food truck takes a huge amount of time, and frankly can make or break a food truck business, said Phillip Dane of The Odd Market, one of L.A.'s biggest outdoor summer events. "Giving trucks ability to book spaces through the Marketplace makes for better events because I focus on the music and the overall experience while the App does the work of bringing in the best trucks."

"Food truck owners know that booking great vending spots is one of the most critical components of whether their business will be successful. We are proud that we have created the first technology platform that makes this process easier and empowers food trucks to have more control over this aspect of their business. Our platform adds transparency to booking fees, cuts down the time and effort food trucks spend booking and looking for vending spots at food truck lots," said Bistro Planet CEO Roie Edery.

About Bistro Planet:

Based in Los Angeles, Bistro Planet is a technology company that streamlines the mobile food experience for customers and food truck owners alike. From free downloadable apps for consumers to operations and marketing systems for food truck owners, Bistro Planet aims to help grow the food truck industry one city at a time.
