This share went very dead yesterday - both in terms of posts and trades. The daily signing figures are the only thing that is propping up the share price at the moment.
Let's hope spero is around to see if there are any additions to the existing locations. Without the interest of daily signings I feel the share price will probably start to lag.
I thought the general consensus was that people were quite happy with the use of counties where there were no big cities and lots of smaller towns.
I find it very strange that nothing has been done about the obvious c*ck-ups that have been spotted here and yet changes have been made to something we were generally okay with. Not good.
A few here seem to be clinging to Align Research to try and find something to boost the share price. They did bring out a Research Report when this IPO'd but reading back through it now it was full of absolute twaddle and based on all sorts of assumptions none of which materialized.
The Lake district isn't a town Art
It's all happening here. Big Dish is the place to be.
Oxenholme added - which it turns out is in Kendal which I have heard of. Maybe the Lake District would be the best "Location" for this area.
Oxenholme has been added too. Three so far this morning, as Art says today’s tally may not have finished yet.
Hopefully the Align Research note will be in the public domain at some stage today

both live now!!
I've got as far down the a-z as London without finding any new restaurants apart from Malvern and Reading but to be fair these can trickle on anytime over the next couple of hours.
Has the app gone up the spout or is it just mine?
Reading and Malvern added.

This is an acceptable word to use though it looks as though I should have used a capital "F".
Maybe I should have said "who don't "SEEM TO" have a clue about UK geography.
They were my asterisks. Could stand for "a bunch of people who do not seem to have a clue about UK geography".
filtered sorry old chap but enough of your boring moaning !!

I'm very happy with my reduced holding which is showing a nice profit and I'm not getting stressed. I had bought far too many - just as I did back in September for the first nationwide roll-out - and although things are going a lot better this time I still have issues with this company and investment here will always be a risk.
The problem is that I can see a lot more potential here than the directors (and particularly Aidan) have the skill and commitment to deliver. I tend to buy on what could happen here with the perfect management but that is far from what happens in the real world.
No-one was expecting all of these one locations, we were led to believe that signings would be much faster, and I will never agree with Big Dish claiming to be a yield management operator but using the discount card 3-tier discounts.
My research has shown me that if they sign restaurants in all of the big cities in huge numbers then the revenue will increase by as much as 10 times more than is being achieved in places such as Bournemouth. So they could get both the restaurant numbers and revenue sorted out in one go but, unfortunately, the management here are not getting that. In fact, they are doing the exact opposite signing one restaurant in dozens of locations as that will bring in virtually zero revenue.
Do I care - NO - because I have reduced my holding and have nothing to lose if they do f*ck it up all over again.
Art,
your post from 8.44 this morning is totally unacceptable imvho.
To use abbusive language at the Bigdish staff in the Philippines, who are most likley only following instructions is totally wrong unacceptable and unnecessary.
The least you should do is apologise......although i doubt hat you will....
Don't get frustrated just because you made the wrong call.....and this is now probably back or above where you sold up!
Its about time we heard from Sanj on some possible chain inclusions !!
well that's a relief, but we still need to be in a strong position for q3. <10 sign-ups per day isn't going to get us there. We're on track for fewer sign-ups than last week.
Spero, they will not issue shs in 2Q as not allowed to without a new prospectus..co already stated that they will not do that...we have lots a time..
it is not nonsense to suggest that the current rate of sign-ups means we won't be in a strong enough position for the q3 fund raise. We need to raise funds for q3. That means we raise fund in q2 (apr-jun) so that we have them in time. If we're <1000 restaurants then the share price will be in trouble in q2 and certainly after the fundraise. We need to be adding 20+ restaurants a day to be safe (24 to be exact). 7 isn't progress. It's another day closer to fundraise where telesales have missed the target and made the rest of the pre-fundraise period more difficult.
Come on telesales & come on Dish, give us an update.
Seems like investors are rightly ignoring ART's deramp attempts...he reduced his holding too
How many added today 7?
We ended yesterday with :
49 Locations
328 Restaurants
London on 54
I am ignoring all the nonsense being posted by some on here and enjoying watching restaurants being signed up regularly each day and the location areas expanding each day.
Other than that, the rest is just noise. SP will correct itself in time ...... Along way to go yet imo.
Interested to see how many restaurants, locations and where the SP will be at at the end of February now.
We’ve had a very positive January here and I see no reason to believe February will be any different ;-)
What was it on yesterday? Struggling to keep up without a running tally.
London upto 56
Northampton just added +1
