Foodspotting: Discover the Best Dishes at Restaurants

Find and share the best food, rate dishes, read reviews, get recommendations & more on Foodspotting - your crowdsourced guide to top restaurants in your area.

What is Foodspotting?

Foodspotting is a mobile app and website that helps people find and share the tastiest dishes at restaurants. It takes the concept of traditional user reviews and recommendations and focuses everything around specific dishes instead of just the restaurant as a whole.

Users can post photos of standout dishes they love, rate those dishes on a scale from 1-10, read and write dish-specific reviews explaining what makes that plate of food so good, get recommendations for dishes and restaurants in their area or cities they’re visiting, save dishes they want to try to lists, follow friends and experts to see the plates they’re raving about, and more. It essentially crowdsources a guide to the best bites in your neighborhood and city.

The app is extremely visual, with dish photos front and center instead of just texts. This visual component makes it easy to browse dishes quickly and get a sense of what the food is actually like. Explanations of what makes the dish so good or unique are also key. The social features like following and list creation also enable users to easily keep track of dishes at new places they want to try.

For restaurants, having dishes featured on Foodspotting can drive more customers to order those specific plates instead of just generally getting people in the door. It allows their standout food creations to get more targeted exposure. The app is free for users and the company makes money through sponsored posts, advertising from restaurants, and premium features.

Some key benefits of Foodspotting for users are discovering new go-to dishes and restaurants, getting reliable recommendations of actual food instead of just the venue, saving time from reading through lengthy reviews, and having a visually engaging way to track dishes you want to try based on enticing photos. For restaurants, benefits include free marketing of signature dishes, increased customer engagement, more targeted advertising, and premium metrics about which menu items bring in the most foodspotters.
