STORIES FROM THE AZEATS YEARS
People, businesses and memorable stories.
AZeats.com began in 1998 as a way to bring Arizona restaurants onto the emerging Web.
Long before the term “web platform” existed, AZeats.com functioned as one—centralizing restaurant websites and making them easy for diners to find.
What started as a simple dining guide evolved into an early digital system offering restaurant websites, online coupons, gift certificates, email marketing, and other tools that would later become standard across the industry.
AZeats.org highlights early adopters of the Internet and the restaurant websites they created in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
