Problem
Friends often struggle to agree on a restaurant, leading to lengthy debates or indecisive decisions that can delay or spoil group meals.
Solution
Unforkd is a mobile app that streamlines group dining decisions by allowing each participant to set their food preferences and then creating a shared lobby where restaurant options are presented as swipeable cards. The group collectively swipes through venues, with the app automatically narrowing choices based on the majority’s selections. Once consensus is reached, the app finalizes the restaurant, enabling the group to meet up and eat without further discussion.
Target Audience
Unforkd is aimed at social groups such as friends, families, or coworkers who regularly plan meals together and need a quick, consensus‑based way to choose a dining venue.
