Down To Lunch is a social iPhone application created by Viswanathan and his cofounder Joseph Lau. After moving San Francisco, they said they missed their friends because they were working all the time. After finding it difficult to discover which of their friends was available when they wanted to hangout, they conceived the idea of being able to press a button to send a hangout request to all of their friends. One a Sunday afternoon in a "One Direction" fueled coding session, they created the app. Within 48 hours, people around the world were using the app, even though it was only available as a link from Viswanathan's Facebook. Down To Lunch rapidly started being used by students at colleges around the country, sometimes growing to be used by more than 15% of a college campus within 24 hours without any marketing. The app rose to be the #1 app in the App Store social category and #2 overall. Down To Lunch was featured in The New York Times, the front page of Yahoo, Forbes, Business Insider, TechCrunch, and other international media publications. The New York Times featured a front page cover story about Down To Lunch in their business section on April 20, 2016.
