I tried to add Corti bros in Sacramento but it’s not considered a restaurant. It’s a grocery store with a sandwich shop and deli inside. 8.50 for a big sandwich. https://orderonlinemenu.com/CortiBrothers
This sounds great; really hoping it takes off. I'm curious: would Beggar's Map work pretty much as-is in other countries, or if not, why not?
I'd suggest making whatever price cutoff you decide on the price for a meal, not a dish. One dish, like a great bowl of tofu stew, can be a meal in itself, but let submitters decide.
Students in college towns are an obvious audience, and I can imagine plenty of low-cost ways to reach out to them and get them to seed the site. Be sure to include Berkeley in your outreach!
When visiting the US, I lerned that a meal that costs 10$ is actually 10$ + some random tax + a tip = 20$
It depends on the type of establishment. A full service restaurant where you are directed to a table, someone takes your order, then brings food to you, and then you pay would require a tip, because that is considered service. A counter service restaurant or cafe where you walk up to a counter, give your order, pay, then pick up your food and find your own table would not require a tip.

Yes! College kids are my first audience. Reason behind having mascot like chipmunk was to target younger audiences. I will make sure to our reach Berkeley area!!!
O yes, I am definitely adding filter and option to trigger meal vs single item/appentizer
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Not really. GasBuddy has a standard: price per gallon But this is just a map of the lower-priced items, which are available everywhere. You can find a cheap sandwich, bowl of soup, slice of pizza, or taco virtually anywhere. There is no corresponding standard point of comparison (no "gallon").
There's the calorie. Not always a good metric of health, but it's still a signal. $/cal varies meaningfully between home cooking, Costco, Chipotle, fast casual, sit-down, frozen meals, etc.

Actually I'd love to see this metric.
Wow! I like it even if Im living in South Korea.
I’d like to see something similar to Spain’s menú del día. Also, please indicate whether guilt-inducing tipping is required. In Dallas, you can eat affordably at any 99 Ranch supermarket hot deli—think Panda Express, but with larger portions and lower cost. You can also get low-cost dim sum items at 99 Ranch. Many Dallas food halls, such as Legacy Hall, are fairly overpriced, so I’d avoid them. The cost at mall food…
Thank you!! Currently, only restaurant was allowed, but I think we need to change it so that groceries are allowed. (like Ranch 99 chinese specials and Ranchero Market 99 cent taco deals.) weeat! I like that name!
