I do for Dallas area, which is our launch city. I will add filter to remove all the appentizers and snacks, and only post proper "meals" adding guidance as well. This community gave me so many good advices!
For places like Fuel City in Dallas you may want to add an icon for "don't go alone after dark" ;)
This feels like GasBuddy, but for food. One of the reasons GasBuddy took off was that it wasn't just based on community reports; there was an incentive for gas stations themselves to accurately report their prices and keep them up to date. It seems like you're trying to discourage businesses from participating (e.g. by not accepting sponsored placements), and that will have implications for your growth rate. I think…
Define "good" and "meal"
Good question! Good : Google Review 4.2 with 500+ reviews Meal : Proper meal that can qualify as lunch or dinner But honestly... not fulfilling all the requirement just yet >_<
But it's somewhat difficult to find some that have over 500 reviews, even for places that have been there for quite a long time.
I agree that barriers are necessary, but might there be a way to soften them?
As it is, it looks like my choices will remain pretty limited even if the website does gain popularity, unless I'm willing to drive further out to a "real" city where places have more traffic. (And by that point: It's not cheap anymore.)
When visiting the US, I lerned that a meal that costs 10$ is actually 10$ + some random tax + a tip = 20$
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.
