We help restaurants market to customers online and on their mobile phones with action-oriented local online ads, interactive marketing, social media, and digital loyalty solutions. GoMobo works tirelessly to drive incremental takeout and delivery transactions to your restaurant.

Digital Divide Data

GoMobo’s partner in social responsibility

Digital Divide Data Digital Divide Data

Digital Divide Data (DDD) (http://www.digitaldividedata.org/) provides disadvantaged youth in Cambodia and Laos with the education and training they need to deliver world-class, competitively priced IT services to prominent global clients, such as GoMobo.

Digital Divide Data

Through this socially responsible outsourcing model, DDD bridges the divide that separates young people from opportunity. Employees provide digitization and IT services on half-day shifts and attend school on scholarship from DDD during the other half of their day. Participants earn a competitive income to support themselves and their families while still continuing their education. After several years, employees graduate on to advanced positions with other companies or to management positions within DDD and earn, on average, six times the average annual salary in their local countries.

DDD provides GoMobo with a customized solution for creating and maintaining online data of menus and restaurants. Using GoMobo’s quality assurance process, DDD digitizes menus and configures menus for online access in GoMobo’s unique system. The service ensures that GoMobo’s data is continually updated and accurate.

GoMobo and DDD’s relationship was founded out of a commitment to providing exemplary service to clients and making a positive impact on the world. Both led by young, innovative entrepreneurs, the partnership continues as an exemplary model of social entrepreneurship.
