Hey PH, Richard from Foodie here. I have never once gotten to the cash register and known what to order. Foodie helps me decide what to choose (like a nifty "dish decider"). Thanks for checking us out, and I hope Foodie can be useful for you, too! We have tons of restaurants in SF and Chicago, but NYC is coming soon. A couple of pro tips: - We have every boba spot in SF on the app -- do you agree with our rankings? - Filter button on the menu page is criminally underused. - Restaurant not on our app? "Tap to Request". Under the hood, we aggregate food reviews that mention dishes across the internet, from food delivery to personal blogs, and analyze them to rate dishes out of five stars. We'd LOVE to get your feedback! I'm at richard@thefoodieapp.com

Curious to know about your own usage of the product –– do you use the app more for discovery or for logging your favorites? Also, I'd love to be able to follow my friends that are more hard-core foodies and benefit from their food obsessions 😂Maybe I just didn't understand how to do this in the app but can I follow my friends?

This is great! I imagine it must be hard to build a database on every. single. dish. Curious to know where you were able to get your data from even before launch? Were you able to scrape Yelp for it? A couple of suggestions: - The app icon size on Android should be increased, it's barely visible in my app list on Android P. - I don't like having to sign up for a new account to even browse the app, I imagine this will be significant friction for people trying the app for the first time. I'm definitely giving this a shot next time I'm eating out!

Hi guys, Vaibhav from Foodie here! We are a team from the University of Chicago and have been working on Foodie since March 2018. We are really proud of our product and, so far, have fully launched in San Francisco (but we take restaurant requests from anywhere)! If you have any questions or would like to reach out, I'm at vaibhav@thefoodieapp.com!

Amazing app, if only it were around sooner! Would've saved me from countless mediocre meals at top-notch restaurants because I didn't know what to order! I don't even look at the paper menu any more, I know my order before I even get to the restaurant!
