The Bistroo Breakdown : Monthly Progress Report — September 2022

Every month, we publish a monthly update to our token holders and broader community. Welcome to the September 2022 edition. We appreciate the support and we look forward to our community’s feedback and suggestions.

General Updates

September was a very busy month at Bistroo, kicking off the Q4 with some major advancements in building the whole ecosystem. From infusing more utility to our BIST token, to creating the smart contracts, all while growing the business and developing the operations. The team is on all fronts and there is no slacking!

We also continued to spread the word about Bistroo through attending major blockchain events and with some media features.

Here are the main highlights for September :

• We’ve been updating our email campaigns over the last quarter. The content has been improved and the timing has been optimized. This led to an exponential increase of the number of sessions and the number of transactions through email.
• We on-boarded 2 interns in the sales and marketing departments.
• We hired a freelance food photographer for restaurants to provide custom content for the platform.
• We got featured in an article on the Telegraaf Online.
