You seem to have read drax's post so I suggest you might like to read mine.

Can I remind you of the "Important Message from the Financial Conduct Authority" posted just above every chat page on this website:

"Posting inside information that is not public knowledge, or information that is false or misleading, may constitute market abuse. This could lead to an unlimited fine and up to seven years in prison."

Will you please give some more information about your post on Monday 4th February at 15.00 hours.

Looks like most of the trades today are sells as the buy price is 2.38p and the sell 2.21p.

One 500K buy at 2.40p but 1 million sells at around 2.20p

Seeing as you seem to exist can you please throw some light on your post on Monday 4th February. Your post was:

"BigDish has been in the London studio today, we will update shortly. Thursday will be full of surprises for shareholders in more ways than one."

Aidan Bishop's podcast has since been released and there is no mention of any news due on Thursday or of any"surprises" due tomorrow so I feel you need to give us an explanation.

As a "professional" body rather than an isolated shareholder/poster you cannot make claims that could lead to members of this board buying shares without giving some credibility to your statement. Previously Aidan Bishop has informed shareholders when further news is due but he has said nothing this time.

Thank you.

I'd be happy just to know which town/city is due to go live next and when.

No and they shouldn't even allude to it through a third party (Share Talk).

Aidan Bishop definitely did not say there would be any surprising news on Thursday during the Share Talk podcast and yet their interview with him must have been the source of Share Talk's provocative post on here.

The CEO does have a presentation on Thursday and as the company never seem to do anything without announcing it fully at the same time to the shareholders via a RNS then maybe he has some news re restaurant sign-ups or territories, etc. in which case we will get a RNS with details tomorrow morning. It cannot be that important or AB would have mentioned it during his interview - unless he forgot to.

If you look above here where it says DISH Share Trades it clearly says the trade was on the 4th February at 12.59.38 - thats 12.59 and 38 seconds. And then if you look at yesterdays trades at that time it clearly shows that the 2,000,000 trade was a sell. The buys at that time were going through at 2.319p and the sells were at 2.21p.

But then believe whatever you want to believe but don't expect others to accept what you post if it is incorrect.

MoneyAM makes the 2 million trade look like a buy because it looks like it was a late reported trade from today BUT according to the DISH Share Trades above on this site it was a late reported trade from yesterday, 4th February. LOOKING BACK AT YESTERDAY'S TRADES IT WAS 100% A SELL. At the time the buys were going through at between 2.29p and 2.319p and the sells were at 2.21p.

Yes, 100% A SELL.

I can't see anyone buying big here yet as the company are ........................ I'm not sure what to call it - naive, slow, all over the place. They're just far too disorganized and far too slow.

I fact I'm looking at a restaurant now in Hong Kong on eatigo and this is one of the busier establishments with over 7000 reservations and it clearly says "No availability today" "Next reservation: 8th February" so they clearly still and always will have that problem.

I challenge that as inaccurate information. Besides in the case of Bath there have been 8 restaurants there through the whole beta phase and there are the same 8 today. They do not take them off if there are no discounts offered for the day. The restaurant will instead show "Next day discounts". In some cases and particularly at weekends they will give the date of the next day when discounts are going to be offered and sometimes this will be 1. 2 or even in 3 days time. They do not disappear and then reappear when they are again giving discounts.

I have this information from watching the App and the website and if you bother to look at them you will see the same.

Further to this matter eatigo (who are several years and 4330 restaurants ahead of Big Dish with exactly the same concept) seem to have tackled this problem already. The problem is that many of the restaurants seem to only want to offer so many tables at the higher discounts and none at all at busier periods. However very few restaurants are probably sold out at this time of year so there is always room to get more diners into the outlets and eatigo appear to try and keep business turning over by getting the restaurants to drop the discount to 10% at the busier times. That is not going to hurt their business and will keep bookings coming in via the App and website.

Similarly when a restaurant shows sold out then they could probably still offer seats but at a lower discount. This will keep people booking instead of turning them away.

No doubt Big Dish will get round to this sometime in the future.

You guys want to take a look at eatigo App or website or both. That is what Big Dish aspire to and may be like at some stage in the future if they get on with the job.

Looks like the Bristol restaurants are back live on the platform now - but there is definitely a bug there somewhere as I couldn't get them on either the App or the website.

Same 20 - no more and no less. Same with Bath - same 8 and sadly no more.

Well there was no mention of any news due on Thursday in the interview and yet Share Talk have posted on this board yesterday at 15:00 hours: " Thursday will be full of surprises for shareholders in more ways than one".

If no mention has been made to the public via the podcast then what has been said off record to Share Talk? This sounds like a case of insider trading to me and needs to be addressed.

I also think that the management here will find that as a public listed company it is all about revenue. That is the only factor that counts with shareholders. Revenue, gross profit and net profit count for everything.

They could have stayed private and sat around dreaming of future revenue streamS but they count for nothing to shareholders. And if they don't pay 100% attention to revenue and profitability then they will just end up as another worthless low m/cap company with a share price that just goes down and down. And there are plenty of them on the LSE and AIM markets at the moment.

The 113K likes are from Big Dish Manilla where they have been trading for several years. What is ridiculous is that for all the time this lot took to get up and running from the date of floatation they haven't even bothered to get a relevant photo on the home page of BigDish.com/. It still shows the same photo as BigDish.ph/. No-one in the UK wants to see a photo of Manilla or a plate of Philippine food. Very poor.

And all the fuss about changing the logo boiled down to taking out the chefs head and just leaving it as Big Dish. Apparently that took them about 2 months.

Same old nonsense if you ask me. He's getting way ahead of himself talking about data opportunities and other revenue streams. At least though he seems to have given up on advertising as a source of revenue thank goodness.

No mention of which town/city is going live next so all BigDish has got to generate revenue is 70 restaurants though I have noticed overnight and this morning that the Bristol outlets seem to have dropped off the platform. Not sure what the problem is but it needs sorting as that is 28.5% of the potential revenue not functioning. They were off overnight and then back on this morning but have now dropped off again.

Also no mention of why Justin Boer had been removed from being a director (and a salary of $150,000pa according to the IPO Prospectus) and booted into a £18,000 ish a year job (comparing the salary of Chief Product Officer with that of Chief Technology Officer) nor what he intends to do with his 39,000,000 shares (roughly 14% of the total shares in issue).

Unfortunately, this company seems to have a habit of getting way ahead of themselves and missing out on the basics. Same old hot air.

I tell you what I did find of interest during my recent research is that Just Eat, a company I would say has an above average number of student and young users, people who have just about disappeared into their smart phones, state in their last set of results that 53% of all orders are now placed by App with the other 47% coming from the website. And this figure has only swung in favour of the App over the last year or so. I would have thought that a company like Just Eat would have been would have been hugely more used by the App.

It makes me think that the website will still be very important to Big Dish because if anything restaurant users would be more of the tablet, laptop, PC types than the younger take-away market.

Anyway, this probably means that in the meantime the Table Pouncer and BigDish Manilla restaurants are still generating income despite not being on the Apps.

Just to make that clear if a restaurant decides to participate and be on the BigDish platform then that restaurant will have their own page which is to promote their menu, opening hours, discounts, etc, etc. That is their link and is just for them.

Be honest do you think they would want Vanguard Insurance and Continental trainers - currently the ads showing on this page - to share their start sharing their home page with them. Certainly not.

Yes, AB mentioned advertising once as a possible source of extra income. Personally I think that was very rash and something that won't happen and even won't be needed. Apps that generate income from business do not need to depend on advertising revenue. Apps that are free to use and do not generate income are the ones that need to use advertising to generate income to stay afloat. This website, for example, uses tons of advertising but they also allow free use which is the deal I have here. Some people pay for a premium service but you don't have too. Personally I use Ad Blocker and it removes 100% of the adverts anyway.

If you look at eatigo there is no need or space for advertising. The App and website are full of promotions and offers for their restaurant partners. Just Eat is the same. No advertising and no room for advertising. In fact, it would look dreadful if they ever allowed random advertising and I'm sure the restaurant partners would complain bitterly. The less said here about imaginary advertising revenue the better.

Going up, going up, going down, going down. That's what shares do. They just don't go up.

The good thing about this share is that it is completely transparent. The share price will be completely indicative of the number of participating restaurants - as restaurants are added the share price will increase and anyone and everyone can see how many restaurants are on the platform by downloading the APP and counting them. Obviously later the take-up will be a second important factor but for now the take-up is irrelevant until a larger quantity of restaurants are signed.

Well at least there are signs of life here which is a great improvement after all of those recent days when not a single share was traded all day and not a single post appeared.

The SP is still 50% below the IPO price though.

It's easy to see why shareholders can't go wrong here. If the share price only gets back to the IPO price then that is nearly a 100% rise from here which is certainly more than most shares are offering at the moment.

However, those who have been here since the IPO were expecting so much more and the potential is much, much bigger if only they would forget about the presentations and concentrate on getting restaurant partners signed to the platform. I think that we are all now familiar with the yield management idea - which let's face it was never their idea even within the restaurant business - and now want to see it put into practice.
