$LIVE has gotten off to a strong start in the online deals industry with its www.livedeal.com platform. Late in 2013, LiveDeal rolled out its innovative, new real-time "deal engine" in the $660 billion dining industry, and has found that the industry absolutely loves the concept in each of the three cities it has launched, San Diego, Los Angeles and San Francisco. In those cities, LiveDeal outperforms billion dollar deal giant Groupon, and to get some idea of how well the model has caught on, one need look no further than San Diego where LiveDeal first launched. The company has deals for around a thousand restaurants on livedeal.com versus about 30 restaurants using Groupon.
