The Problem

Diners in unfamiliar cities rely on Yelp and Google Maps top results that are dominated by optimized chain-adjacent venues, missing authentic highly-rated local spots that lack the marketing budget to appear in algorithm-driven rankings

Why It Works

“Frustration with mainstream restaurant apps surfacing tourist-trap results is a consistent topic in food and travel communities with curated local dining guides being a proven content format”

Recurring complaint pattern in office management and EA communities about group lunch coordination being a weekly time drain with no lightweight tool that works across any restaurant rather than just platform-partnered ones

Handles per-person payment collection for group food orders so one person stops fronting the bill

The pain

Source · Evidence

Recurring complaint pattern among young professionals about Venmo reimbursement friction after group food orders with no pre-order payment collection tool that works independently of a specific delivery platform

Recurring Office Lunch Scheduler

Automates recurring team lunch orders with rotating restaurant picks and dietary preference memory

The pain

Source · Evidence

Recurring complaint pattern among office managers and EAs in admin professional communities about weekly lunch coordination being the highest-friction recurring task with no automation tool available outside enterprise catering platforms
