Party Tutor was “created by students for students” in order to wrap up the entire college experience into one website and App as said by the website. Its creator and CEO, Brent Henderson, hopes to provide a similar but more enhanced experience to not only college students but residents of Orlando with their new App Zupp.

Zupp is a mobile App that helps you discover what’s happening in Orlando by providing you with instant access to a centralized feed of events, specials and live entertainment experiences.

Henderson, a UCF alumni who double majored in Finance and Marketing, spoke about his inspiration for
Zupp.

“I have been doing party tutor since 2011, it’s been 4 years since I started that, and I have always
had the vision to do something like party tutor but on a big city level,” Henderson said. “The time came where I felt Party Tutor has been successful and I have the resources now to do something that I have been dreaming
about for a while, which is to create Party tutor but on a big city level,” he added.

The app works by pulling up a feed that tells you what is happing in Downtown Orlando. Even though drink specials are featured in Zupp, night life is not the sole purpose.

Zupp will notify users of various deals, and upcoming events in Downtown Orlando. Users can find out more about a specific event by clicking on it, and doing so allows them to see time, location, and prices for the
event. Zupp provides a method for the user to purchase tickets for events that offer them.

Users are also able to give feedback through a voting system called “Zuppvotes” for a particular event.

The more “Zuppvotes” equals the more popular the event is. The feed will re-order itself based on what’s popular according to the amount of votes.

There are a multiple methods provided to users that help narrow down searches, such as a favorites feed, were users can add their favorite venues and filter settings, such as distance through proximity.

Zupp is currently available in Downtown Orlando, but will not stop there.

The creator plans to expand to other regions of Orlando, as well as other cities.

“We want to surprise people with unique experiences that they might not know about and that’s one of the main things we want to do with this App, to help people discover experiences that interest them and might not have otherwise found if it wasn’t for Zupp,” Henderson said.

Zupp was released on Aug. 8 and is currently available for download in the app store for free and will be available for Android users soon.
