Hi PH community, Co-founder of Aplace here. Like many of you, I’m passionate about great food and travel and absolutely sure that life is too short for mediocre experiences. The modern food scene is huge and it’s just getting bigger – so how to decide where to dine out? I spent lots of time creating my own lists, talking to people and analyzing numerous sources of recommendations – and couldn’t find a trustworthy one. So we decided to build Aplace with my co-founders Slava and Andrew. Aplace is a restaurant discovery app based on chefs’ recommendations. Is the chef a good critic? Yes, because she has an advanced palate, eats out a lot, cares about justice in the industry as well as her own reputation, so would never recommend a mediocre place publicly. Chef’s recommendations are easy to relate to - if you like the chef’s own place, you will most likely appreciate her favorites. We’ve started testing this approach collaborating with top chefs in Singapore and the quality of collected recommendations proved it right. We’ve received a very positive feedback from the food enthusiast community and started expanding to San Francisco, Hong Kong is coming next. Currently, Aplace offers more than 800 recommended places for two cities and we’ve just released a personalized recommendation feature. We would greatly appreciate your feedback on the idea and our app.

I use Aplace for the last months and it is simply the best list of restaurants in San Francisco made by top Michelin chefs. Highly recommended! They keep adding new cities.

Finally we have a platform that makes relevant recommendation from the guys who know the best ( Chefs ) . Now that i am using it, i have this feeling as to why this kind of platform was not there before :-) Congrats Aplace team... I think it has the potential to do in food space what Shazam did to music...

I have a question: How do you recruite the chefs? And do you compensate them? How are you ensuring their (yours) integrity?

@casinobonustip Thanks for great questions 😊 At the moment we recruit them personally and conduct comprehensive interviews one-to-one. We've started with top chefs and then it was a network effect. We don't compensate them and it was great to find out that almost all the chefs we invited were very supportive and happy to share their favourites publicly (actually they do it offline all the time when asked by the guests or friends). Once interviewed, chef receives credentials to log in and edit / add recommendations, and it's the only way for a chef to appear on the platform. As recommendations are transparent, chefs wouldn't recommend places that they don't find worthwhile as it can affect their reputation.
