Buy Friends Dinner, Drinks & More Anytime, Anywhere With Gratafy

STUDIO CITY (CBSLA.com) — There are so many reasons and occasions to celebrate, so why not be there . . . even if you are out of town!

Gratafy, a new App which recently launched in Los Angeles, allows users to send friends, clients, and coworkers actual drinks, dinner, desserts and a whole lot more from anywhere, anytime.

Co-founder Ryan Halper and The Churchill Executive Chef Michael Bryant visited the KCAL9 studios Thursday to talk about the launch and share some recipes from Gratafy hotspots.

Also in Seattle, the app has formed partnerships with nearly 200 restaurant locations including local favorites like The Hudson, The Churchill, Jones, Bar Toscana, Santa Monica Seafood, Seven Grand, Mo-Chica, Paiche, and Ford's Filling Station, among others.

The company also plans to launch in several other major U.S. markets later this year.

Gratafy offers a wide range of options at every price point, allowing users to finally send specific items such as a dirty martini, intense chocolate lava cake, or pint of IPA from that special someone's favorite restaurant.

The app is free to download and available for iPhone and Android in the App Store or on Google Play.
