Problem
For people who love eating out like me, when exploring new restaurant, I often have trouble figuring out what to eat in the menu.
- What does the food look like?
- What are the ingredients?
- Does it taste good to me, or match my taste preference?
Current solution
- Open yelp and swipe through > 20 photos. If I'm lucky, I pick the one that looks good and were reviewed by a few users. This is kinda hit or miss to me, and it only covers small part of menu
- Ask waiter for some recommendation and hope that it tastes good to me. I tried this a few times and didn't enjoy the outcome (ex: they might recommend something cheesy which lots of people like, but not me). Maybe I'm on picky side of the spectrum.
My solution
- A mobile app where you can take the picture of menu, it will show you photos, ingredients, reviews of each DISH on it.
- You can easily skim through reviews, photos and check ingredient definition
- After a few iteration of picking and reviewing, we can recommend you best dish to eat next time.
- Not in the restaurant atm and need some inspiration? Open the feed and see what dish people are exploring nearby.
