The Solution

Eating Out

Dine with Confidence

TasteBuddies is a smartphone app that will provide tailored restaurant and dish recommendations based on taste profiles. TasteBuddies will use data clustering to connect users with others who share similar preferences, offering relevant suggestions rather than generic reviews. Instead of guessing if a review is relevant, TasteBuddies users can rely on aggregated data that is catered to their taste. By using TasteBuddies, diners are more likely to end up with a meal they truly enjoy, while reducing the stress of sifting through irrelevant reviews, enhancing their overall dining experience. Restaurants will also benefit from fewer complaints, less food waste, and happier customers who are more likely to return, give positive reviews, and tip well.
