## What is Guava?

Food prices are out of control. A burrito is $16. Lunch is $20. A coffee and a pastry runs you $14. Eating out used to be casual. Now it's a financial decision.

Guava is the real food map for it. Spill the tea on the spots that still feed you well without wrecking your wallet. What you got, what you paid, whether it slaps. The community votes Legit or Sus based on whether your take holds up. Real reviews, real food, real prices, from people actually paying the bill.

No paid placements or influencer noise. Just real diners sharing what's actually worth the money in your city.

SPILL THE TEA
Found a $12 lunch that hits? A menu item you can't stop thinking about? An overhyped spot that wasn't it? Spill the tea. Snap a photo, tag the dish, drop the price. Your post lands on the map for everyone nearby, and the community votes Legit or Sus based on whether your take holds up when they go check it out.

HOT / WARM / COLD TEA
Every spot gets a community temperature based on how the tea is landing. Hot tea is what your city is buzzing about right now. Warm tea is the steady, reliable goodness. Cold tea is what to skip. Cut through the noise and find what's actually worth your time and money this week.

A LIVE FOOD MAP
See real-time tea on the map around you. Pin colors and price tags tell you the vibe at a glance: affordable gems, hidden hits, places worth the trip. Filter by radius, hop between neighborhoods, and tap any pin to read what people are actually saying.

FRIENDS — YOUR PEOPLE, YOUR TEAS
Add friends by @user_id or QR code. Share your teas, see theirs, and finally know what your friends actually like to eat. Their pins land on your map so you always have a go-to when you're together, or borrow their list when you're not.

AT PARTNER RESTAURANTS — TABLE SERVICE FROM YOUR PHONE
Some spots on the map are Guava partners, and dining there gets an upgrade. Scan the QR code at your table to start a session: browse the menu on your phone, call staff with a tap instead of flagging someone down, and share your dining preferences — allergies, dietary needs, how you like your meal — so the staff knows before you say a word. Update them anytime mid-meal. Partner restaurants also get a storefront on their community page, so the tea and the table live in one place.

YOUR DATA, YOUR CONTROL
Guava uses your location to show nearby posts and friends' pins. Dining preferences are shared only during a session at a partner restaurant, and you control them at all times. Delete your account and your data anytime, right in the app. Your user ID is public. Your real name is friends-only by default.
