KokoChé KokoChé is a Smartphone app that connects communities to hyperlocal, real-time deals. Our mission is to create a bridge of access to streaming information that is useful and user-friendly for both residents and local merchants in any community, regardless of income level or technological advancement.
At the tap of a few buttons, merchants can instantly increase business during slow hours, test out new products, as well as reduce their excess inventory. On the customer side, users have instant access, through impulse buttons (e.g. "Feed Me," "Fill My Cup," "Under $1,") to savings on food, health + wellness, style + beauty, entertainment, clothing, and more, all within earshot of their current locations.
KokoChé strengthens bonds between local businesses and their communities, and strives to keep money local by boosting the outreach efforts of small businesses. When you use KokoChé, you support local businesses in Los Angeles. Keep money local. Tap into local.
