While OpenTable and Resy bleed restaurants dry with 10-15% commissions, Meitre flipped the model entirely. They built a 2-million-user restaurant network with a lean 16-person team, generating $1.6M in revenue by solving the right problem: restaurants don't need more fees, they need more diners.

"The magic isn't the commission-free booking—it's the network effect. When 2M users search for 'best restaurants in Latin America,' you don't pay to be discovered, you just have to be good enough to rank."

The tech stack tells the story of a team that moves fast: Tailwind, Bootstrap, and DaisyUI for rapid UI development, AWS for scalable infrastructure, and FullStory for understanding user behavior. They're not reinventing the wheel—they're shipping features. The presence of jQuery suggests legacy code, but it's pragmatic legacy code that works. This is a team optimizing for velocity, not tech purity.

• Top keyword 'meitre' (680 volume) proves brand penetration—users aren't searching for 'restaurant reservations,' they're searching for *them* specifically
• Hyper-local SEO dominance with restaurant-specific keywords like 'tomo cocina nikkei' and 'el preferido de palermo'—they're ranking for individual venues, not generic terms
• Traffic concentration: 63% from undefined country suggests Argentina dominance, but the 17% and 9% chunks indicate regional expansion is working
