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.

The app rose to be the #1 app in the App Store social category and #2 overall.
