Problem
People often find it awkward or intimidating to dine out alone or meet new people in social settings centered around food. Existing social and dating apps do not specifically cater to food-based connections, while restaurants struggle to reach engaged food enthusiasts who are actively looking for dining partners and events.
Solution
TasteIt is a food-focused social network that helps users discover foodmates—people who share their taste in food and dining preferences. The app combines food discovery with social matching: users swipe through dishes to like and save favorites, follow specific foods to see who else liked them, and chat with matches to plan dine-out experiences. Users can filter by diet type such as vegan or vegetarian and join "Dines," which are eating and drinking events they can request to attend. For restaurants, the platform provides targeted reach to food enthusiasts, with over 500 food outlets already partnering with the service.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals seeking food-based social connections, including those with specific dietary preferences, plus restaurants and food outlets looking to acquire engaged food enthusiasts as customers.
