## What is Tender Eats?

Can't agree on where to eat? Tender turns the dinner debate into a game everyone wins.

One person creates a session and shares a 6-character code. Friends join on their own phones. Then everyone swipes through nearby restaurants at the same time — yes or no, independently, no peeking. When you all swipe yes on the same place, it's a match.

No more endless back-and-forth. No more veto wars. Just open the app, swipe, and go eat.

HOW IT WORKS
1. Create or join a session — share a short code with your group, or tap the link they send you
2. Swipe on restaurants nearby — Tender pulls in top-rated spots around you sorted by popularity and distance
3. Match and go — the moment everyone agrees on a place, Tender reveals your match

FEATURES
• Real-time group swiping — everyone's in sync, results update live
• Smart restaurant discovery — blends popularity and proximity so you see the best spots near you, not just the closest ones
• Deep link invites — share a tender:// link and friends join in one tap
• No account required — jump straight in with no sign-up, no password
• Results ranking — see every restaurant ranked by how much your group liked it, not just the top match
• Speed bonus — faster swipes score higher, so decisive friends get rewarded

PERFECT FOR
Date nights, friend groups, work lunches, family dinners, or any time two or more people can't decide where to go.

Tender uses your location only to find restaurants nearby. No account is required — sessions are anonymous and temporary.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.6 — 2026-06-02

What's New in Version 1.6

Improved how Tender picks a winner when the vote is close. The ranking algorithm now uses a smarter tie-breaking
method — instead of arbitrary ordering, it eliminates the option that the most people ranked last, so the result
better reflects group consensus. The more people in your session, the more this matters.
