Problem
People often stick to familiar dining spots and miss out on discovering new restaurants that match their tastes. Existing food platforms lack a strong social component, making it difficult for users to get personalized recommendations from friends and the broader food community.
Solution
Maribon is a social network built around food discovery that lets users search for restaurants by cuisine, location, or map, while also browsing a social feed of meals shared by other foodies. The app enables users to save items to a Try List, mark them as Tried with ratings, and follow friends and other food enthusiasts for personalized recommendations. Maribon also provides restaurants with a digital ordering system that supports dine-in, take-away, and delivery, giving establishments control over how they serve customers. The platform is the first social network to support Mauritian Creole, making it uniquely accessible to the local population.
