I love the concept but how does Velada Genius handle dietary restrictions or niche preferences?
@faisal_iftikhar We have over 100 categories of restaurants (from dietary restrictions, to cuisine, to occasion, to restaurant vibes) and when you start talking with Genius you select your dining preferences, which Genius will always take into account when making recommendations. Specifically on dietary restrictions, we know how important this is to our users, so we make an extra effort to seek out great restaurants that have a wide range of options that are gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian, and we're working on adding more categories. When you tell Genius that you have a dietary restriction, it remembers so that it recommends those spots to you first, always, just as with any other preference that you indicate.
@david_martin_suarez Do you plan to expand beyond restaurants like including bars, hidden speakeasies or even food trucks?

@jesus_porter Absolutely, Jesus! 🙌 That’s definitely part of the plan. In fact, we already have a solid list of cocktail bars in NYC, and we’re gradually expanding to include all kinds of places — from speakeasies and gourmet shops to food trucks and beyond.
We’re just getting started, and there’s so much more to come. Thanks for the great question and stay tuned for all the new additions! 🚀
👋 Hey Product Hunters! I'm Alex, cofounder & CEO of Velada, and I’m so excited that launch day is finally here! We’ve poured our passion for discovering amazing dining experiences into creating Velada Genius.
With the overwhelming amount of restaurant content out there and the constant decision fatigue, we just wanted to make it easier for people to find that perfect dinner spot instantaneously – without spending hours scrolling, reading, and validating options. In a lot of ways we see Velada Genius as a productivity tool: efficient, personalized, and gives you time back to do something more interesting than reading restaurant reviews.
We’ve focused on making the interface super visual and the curated recommendations tailored to your tastes. But we’re always looking to make Velada Genius even better.
❓I’d love to hear from you:
What additional features would make Velada Genius even more useful for planning your dining experiences?
Which cities should we launch next?

Me encanta! Perfecto para cuando buscas un restaurante que sabes cómo quieres que sea, pero aún no lo conoces :)
@n_spotlife Gracias Nahuel! Eso es el objetivo!

@n_spotlife ¡Gracias, Nahuel! 🙌 Qué bueno que lo veas así, porque precisamente eso es lo que queríamos resolver con Velada Genius: cuando tienes claro el tipo de experiencia que buscas —el ambiente, el estilo de comida, el plan perfecto— pero todavía no sabes qué restaurante encaja. Ahí es donde queremos que Genius te sorprenda.
Pronto llegarán más ciudades y novedades. Si te animas, apúntate a la waitlist que en los próximos días empezamos a enviar acceso 🚀
