In honor of the Super Bowl, we are celebrating the winning streak of our beloved 49ers with a collection of 49ers Rolls. We don’t know when or where the first 49ers Roll was served (Quora couldn’t help), but we do know that we like everything with the Niners namesake. Each 49ers roll is slightly different but is brought together through a bundle of seaweed and rice and above all, salmon. Whether it is accompanied by crab, lemon, or mint, our chopsticks are eager to pounce. With 25 merchants on the GoPago network serving up these rolls of team pride yearlong, we are highlighting five rolls that will be offered to you at a discounted price until Super Bowl Sunday, allowing you to save time, money and try as many rolls as possible. Here is the team line-up: u-sushi, Tokyo Express (Sacramento, Mission and Stonestown locations), We Be Sushi (at 16th St.), Naked Fish and Sushi Rocks (Pine and Polk locations) ...

Our beloved San Francisco 49ers are mighty close to clinching it. So close we can taste New Orleans and Super Bowl XLVII. We don’t wanna cast any bad voodoo or jinx it, but we did partner with Tim Lincecum and Vernon Davis. And, well, the San Francisco Giants became World Series Champions! To get your mind off the big game and on to some great food, we recommend that you head to Queen’s Louisana Po-Boy Cafe in the backyard of the ‘Stick. They have oyster po-boys, fried chicken, beignets and everything else your N’Awlins heart desires. From now until the Super Bowl, they are offering some tight-end deals to GoPago user including: free drinks on all meals, a special Bourbon St. Chicken Sandwich for $4.49 and a 2 Piece Dark Chicken Meal, with fries or colesaw and a drink for the magic number of $4.49.

We have teamed up with Vernon Davis, one of the NFL’s top tight ends, to thank his Facebook fans and Twitter followers with a $10 credit to be used at participating Bay Area restaurants in our network. “I do almost everything using my phone, so I think this is a great way to thank my fans at the start of a new season.”Vernon said. “Plus, I get a chance to help local store owners get more business. As an entrepreneur myself, I’m a huge supporter of anyone who has the courage to go out on their own and build a business.” Today, Vernon helped his fans score big with their favorite local merchants when he shared the code “Vernon” with his 1 million Twitter followers and 35,000 Facebook fans. New users can download our app on their iOS or Android smartphone, enter the $10 code, and redeem it at one of our hundreds of participating Bay Area restaurants including local favorites A.G. Ferrari Foods, Pearl’s Deluxe Burgers, Green Chile Kitchen, and Osha Thai. Leo Rocco, CEO and founder, said collaborating with Davis was a natural fit. “Vernon is a tech-savvy San Francisco icon who has mastered using social media to connect with his fans,” Rocco said. “GoPago is opening a direct channel to show these fans his appreciation by connecting them to the merchants they love. And we’re doing it on a massive scale. We think that’s a game changer in the relationship between athletes and their fans.” In July, we partnered with San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum to offer his fans on Facebook (and in real life) thousands...

If American economist Milton Friedman were still alive today it would be his 100th birthday and GoPago would have proved him wrong. Milton Friedman is credited for spreading the adage, “There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch” and today we know that is just not the case. We didn’t set out to make an economist turn in his grave when he should be blowing out ghost birthday candles, but something magical happens when you pair a star pitcher with an app that’s a hit. In case you missed it, and weren’t one of Tim Lincecum’s 445,000 Facebook fans, we successfully teamed up with the Giants’ pitcher to give away over 30,000 free lunches on his behalf. Tim Lincecum reinforced how he truly cares about his fans, as we fed all those who are living in San Francisco and gave their thumbs to like him on Facebook. What does 30,000 free lunches spreading like wildfire over the city of San Francisco look like? Picture this: Enough hummus to fill a swimming pool. So many burritos that the pinto bean is now on the endangered species list. So many french fries that we are seriously concerned about another potato famine and so many pigs in a blanket that we are running out of blankets. We are sure that you are left with many questions, but first and foremost, how do you get yours? ‘Like’ Tim Lincecum’s page and see our special promo code that is effective till Aug 9th. Also, like us on Facebook and Twitter for all the latest promotions and partnerships. At GoPago we are aiming to...
