## What is Tenderloin?

NOBODY CAN DECIDE WHERE TO EAT.

Tenderloin fixes that.

Open the app. Tap "Start a Session." A 4-letter code appears. Your friends type it in. Everyone swipes through nearby restaurants — YES or NOPE. The instant everyone agrees on the same place, BOOM: match. You're going there. Total time: under two minutes.

THE SECRET SAUCE — SILENT REAL-TIME PUSH

When one person swipes right, that restaurant silently jumps to the front of everyone else's deck. No notification. No hint. It just appears next. If they swipe right too, instant match. People say it feels like telepathy. We agree. This is the thing every other "let's pick a restaurant" app forgot to build.

WHO IT'S FOR

- Couples on date night who can't pick
- Friend groups stuck in the "I dunno, where do YOU want to eat?" loop
- Office lunch teams
- Family outings, birthday dinners, post-game food runs, late-night cravings

GROUP MATCHING THAT SCALES

Two people or twenty — a match fires the instant every single person in the session swipes right on the same spot. And if the group truly can't agree, nobody starves: Tenderloin shows the host the group's top-voted picks so someone can make the call. No dead ends. Ever.

NO ACCOUNT REQUIRED

Use Tenderloin anonymously. Pick a fun random name we generate, or type your own. Your location is read only while a session is active — never tracked in the background. Sign in with Google or Apple if you want match history saved across sessions; otherwise just keep swiping.

POWERED BY GOOGLE PLACES

Real restaurants, real ratings, real photos. We filter out gas stations, convenience stores, and other not-actually-restaurants so the deck stays clean.

ONE-TAP POST-MATCH ACTIONS

Match locked in? Tap to open Maps for navigation, DoorDash for delivery, or OpenTable for a reservation. One tap each. Done.

GO GOLD — $2.99/MONTH

- Zero sponsored cards in your deck
- Dietary filters: vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal, kosher, nut-free, dairy-free
- Full match history

TENDERLOIN IS FREE TO USE.

The full core experience — creating sessions, swiping, matching, navigating to the winner — costs nothing and never will. Gold is optional.

WHO WE ARE

Tenderloin is built by VivianOps, a small startup based in Liberty, Missouri. We made this because we got tired of the "where do YOU want to eat?" loop. Now we don't have it anymore. You shouldn't either.
