A few weeks ago we reported
on Dinner Lab, a pop-up style foodie organization that provides members with special dinner events in major cities across the US.
Dinner lab is also looking into starting a permanent establishment, and almost every detail of the to-be-business is being driven by feedback from Dinner Lab members. Now, prolific crowd-funding website
Kickstarter has announced some new subcategories, to better organize and identify the projects of aspiring restauranteurs. As
Eater.com reports, the new categories under "Food" include things such as "Food Trucks", "Cookbooks", "Farms" and even "Bacon". Most categories are answers to user requested, while others (namely Bacon), were added just for giggles.
Kickstarter has already helped give life to a
number of restaurant concepts, though the idea of crowd-funding a business or project is still new in this form. Whereas previously the funding crowd was developers and investors, now ordinary consumers are able to contribute towards the creation of goods and services that they wish to become a reality. Kickstarter projects range from Books & Films, to electronic gadgets small and large, and as we've seen, even restaurants and other food concepts.
Check out the source link below for more information, and be sure to let us know how you feel about crowd-funded restaurants via Twitter, Facebook, Google+ and LinkedIn.
