Like many great notions, the idea for the Gate Guru app came to former venture capitalist Dan Gellert out of a frustrating personal experience.
Dan was spending a lot of time in airports, and on one occasion when he decided to bypass the food (he hadn’t eaten all day) and shopping (he needed a magazine and a gift) options available before going through security (assuming that he’d find a variety of both on the other side), he discovered only one food shop (that was really bad) and no shops at all past the check point.
If only he had known! And out of that frustration Gate Guru was born. The easy-to-navigate, interactive iPhone app provides information on all the food options, shops, and services available in eighty-five airports throughout the United States, along with ratings by actual customers (like an online Zagat guide for airports).
With this app on your phone you’ll no longer be wandering aimlessly through unknown territory wondering if there’s something better around the next bend or further down the corridor. Instead, you’ll know exactly what to expect and where to go to find it. And the info on Gate Guru is now also available on the KAYAK iPhone apps via the “airports” tab.
