App of the Week: LunchMeet Tells Your Professional Network When You’re available for Lunch

Heading out for lunch but no one’s available at the office? At a conference and want to network over lunch? Get LunchMeet mobile app and never dine alone.

Inspired by the best-selling book “Never Eat Alone” and built using the LinkedIn API, LunchMeet allows for meaningful, face-to-face networking wherever you are, whenever you are available.

Here’s how it works:

• Sign-in with your LinkedIn account
• Let the app know when you will be available to meet and where
• Search for other professionals in your area who are also available within the same timeslot
• Invite them to a lunchmeet!

When you sign into the app with your LinkedIn account, you can set up one-time or recurring slots for when you’ll be available to meet up.

You have the option to announce your availability on your LinkedIn status, choose meeting venues from the in-app map, and automatically port meeting details to your calendar.

Can’t find a match? LunchMeet provides you with the opportunity to invite your LinkedIn contacts directly.

So next time you’re free for a bite or want to network at a conference over lunch, use LunchMeet to let your LinkedIn contacts know that you’re available.
