A new app is allowing restaurants to hook in new customers by offering exclusive deals. Malik Mingo tells us more in this Bobcat Update.

The number-one college food and drink app has made its way to San Marcos. Hooked is an app that offers deals to its users at restaurants in the area. Places like Chimy's, Valentino's and Potbelly's have all partnered with the app to offer exclusives.

Once you sign up for the app, it will bring up a variety of coupons customers can start using that same day. However, most of the coupons have an expiration date.

The app is similar to an old-fashioned coupon book, but Potbelly's Store Manager Adam Gonzales says the app is great because it is mobile.

Many people are already using the benefits that Hooked offers. Chandler McIntyre says she used the app at her job, and it saved her eight to 10 bucks.

San Marcos is a college town, where students often seek discounts or good deals to save money. McIntyre says that using an app like Hooked when choosing a place to eat can be very beneficial.

If you don't want to travel off campus, you can also use the Hooked app at several dining places on-campus such as Panda Express, Wood Street Pizza, and Wing It!
SU: The new Hooked app can be found on all Apple and Android devices. All you need to do is download the app, sign in with Facebook or email and see what new stores can start hooking you. For Bobcat Update, I'm Malik Mingo.
