Know what to order. From the people who actually went.
I’m a huge foodie and have spent thousands of hours happily researching restaurants, securing reservations, and offering food recommendations to all those who ask. But even as someone who has eaten my way across cities, it’s still unnecessarily difficult to figure out where to eat out with my friends for dinner or who serves the best Matcha Latte in my neighborhood — I find myself cross-referencing 3-4 different apps and sites and trusting 3-year-old Reddit posts more than anything.
I’m building Eat Morels to be the first thing people open when they want to figure out where to eat and what to order, so anyone can find the best version of any dish they’re craving in any neighborhood, at any price point, at any time. I want it to be something my family, my friends, and anyone across the world could use, and it’s your input that will help everyone discover the hidden gems — the morels — of the foodie world.
Instead of just offering a catalogue of restaurants with a single score that doesn’t tell you all that much, our users can rate restaurants on Food, Vibe, and Service, and rate each dish individually — so they can share what to order with their friends.
To review a restaurant, users have to check in: log the visit while within 200m of the restaurant’s location. That filters for people who have actually eaten there, and keeps out the bots and spammers that plague other sites.
When a new restaurant joins Eat Morels, our proprietary algorithm seeds it with a hidden starter score and a list of likely-best dishes pulled from trusted sources — so there’s something useful on day one.
As real check-ins, dish ratings, and photos come in, they take over. The more ratings a place gets on our platform, the more your community’s data shapes what gets surfaced — not ours.
