The food social network to meet people over food

Nobody owns food as a social behavior. Until now. Tasteit is the Food Social Network. A dish is your entry point - discover it, see who loves it, turn that into a real meal together. Just food as the most natural reason to meet.

Hey Product Hunt - Giorgi here, founder of Tasteit.
This one is personal.
I grew up in Tbilisi, Georgia - a city where every important moment in life happens around a table. Business deals, friendships, love stories - all of it starts with food. I never understood why there was no platform built around that.
Every social network we use today was built around something else - photos, status updates, professional profiles. Food, the most frequent social behavior in human life, never got its own home.
So we built it.
Tasteit is the Food Social Network. A dish is your entry point. You discover it, see who loves it, and turn that into a real meal together. No awkward intros. No profiles to fill out. Just food as the most natural reason to meet someone.
We started in Tbilisi. Then Berlin. Then New York. People in 70+ countries found us without us looking for them.
Today we're launching here as part of The Pitch by Deel global competition - and it means a lot to us.
Really grateful to everyone who's supported this from the beginning. And excited to finally share it with this community.
@giorgi_urushadze1 Number one. Super 🙌🏻♥️🥰
@giorgi_urushadze1 Early users in Berlin/NY; did certain cuisines spark the most real meetups like khachapuri pulling in expat crowds)?

Interesting concept. How are you turning that initial interest in a dish into people actually meeting up in real life?

@becky_gaskell Every dish is a social tiger; you have the option to choose people who liked the same dish and plan a dine-out with them. We also have a dine mode, where people plan what to eat, where, with whom, who is going to pay, and so on.
@giorgi_urushadze1 That makes sense, having a structured way to plan it probably helps. I guess the real challenge is getting people comfortable actually meeting up with someone new.
The concept is solid and Tbilisi as origin story is genuinely charming. The real test is whether "a dish you both love" is enough of a wedge against just... texting a friend and picking a restaurant on Google Maps. 👀

@t9p That's exactly the right question, Mike. The wedge isn't the dish itself - it's the cold start problem. Texting a friend assumes you already have someone to text. Tasteit is for the meal that hasn't happened yet, with people you haven't met yet. The dish is just the lowest-pressure way to find them
I think the best way to make it growth is focusing on travelers. I would love to have someone to try some food in Vietnam and Thailand when I was there.
