Tastys is a food‑discovery app that lets users search for specific dishes instead of whole restaurants, surfacing the highest‑rated items nearby based on community‑backed flavor scores. Users can save favorite meals, filter results by dietary preferences, and see rankings from top foodies, making it easy to find the best burger, taco or vegan option without endless scrolling. The platform also enables diners to rate and review dishes directly, creating a dish‑focused alternative to traditional restaurant reviews.

Problem
Food discovery apps typically focus on restaurant reviews, making it hard for users to find specific dishes that match their cravings, dietary needs, or travel plans. This leads to wasted time scrolling through generic ratings and uncertainty about where to get the best‑rated meals.
Solution
Tastys is a dish‑centric discovery platform that lets users search for the exact food they want—such as a burger, vegan taco, or pastry—and instantly see the highest‑rated options nearby. The app aggregates community‑generated flavor ratings, filters results by location and diet preferences, and presents a ranked list of dishes rather than whole restaurants. Users can save favorite meals, view leaderboards of top foodies, and contribute their own ratings, creating a feedback loop that continuously highlights the most beloved dishes in each area.
Target Audience
Primary users are food‑loving consumers—such as everyday diners, travelers, and couples planning date nights—who want quick, reliable recommendations for specific dishes.
