Problem
Consumers with dietary restrictions and food allergies often struggle to find reliable, up-to-date allergen and safety information for restaurant menus, leading to uncertainty and limited dining options. Restaurants lack a centralized, low‑cost way to share this information with potential customers.
Solution
EatFree offers a mobile application that lets users set personal dietary preferences and then browse nearby restaurants that have disclosed allergen and inclusivity details. Restaurants can join the platform at no cost, with the service handling most of the onboarding and data entry. The app aggregates this safety information, enabling diners to filter results and choose venues that match their needs, while restaurants gain visibility among a growing audience seeking safe dining experiences.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals with food allergies, intolerances, or specific dietary preferences, and restaurant owners or managers looking to attract safety‑conscious diners.
