5 LA startups making sure you have the best Super Bowl ever
Even if you’re just in it for the food or the commercials, everyone loves the Super Bowl. Sure there are no California teams in it this year, but with a team that could win two years in a row and "deflategate" close on our heels, you can’t help but wonder which team will prevail. When you’re not spending all your time rooting for your home team, you can spend even more time making sure you’re having the best Super Bowl ever. Here are five LA companies to help you out:

Saucy

Alcohol delivery at the push of a button. Need we say more? Don’t worry about running out of beer this year, just call up Saucy to bring you another case of your favorite booze. Simply pick what you want, checkout with your card on file, and your friendly Saucey driver will be there shortly. With every order, they donate a percentage of sales to Charity Water, which should make you feel better about your choice to indulge this Sunday.

Don’t feel like cooking at all? Order in from ChowNow. Head online or on mobile to order from your favorite neighborhood takeout joint right through their own website.

Opoli

Indulge a bit too much during the game? Use Opoli to get home safe. To use Opoli, a passenger can either book online (via mobile device or desktop) or download the app. The passenger inputs a pickup location and destination, for which Opoli calculates a suggested price. He or she can accept this price or propose an alternative amount. Drivers will then bid on the ride, allowing the passenger to choose whomever he or she sees fit. At this point, the passenger and selected driver can negotiate a flat rate for the ride. So how is this different from Uber and Lyft? The passenger and driver both have a say in how much the ride will cost.

ScoreBig

Tickets are going for around 5K, but hey, if you have that kind of money, you could still technically attend the big game. ScoreBig's tickets are ranked from one to five stars, with one being nosebleeds and five being in spitting distance of the action. THe company uses a Priceline approach: would-be concertgoers enter in a price they are willing to pay on the website after seeing the retail prices. ScoreBig gives an instant response to whether the offer is accepted.
