Can your friend group never agree on what to eat? Schmatch turns the endless "where should we order from?" chat into a quick, fun vote. Everyone swipes through real favorite dishes — right for yes, left for no. When you all land on the same thing, it's a Schmatch: time to celebrate and order. HOW IT WORKS • Swipe your favorites — right = yes please, left = nope • Match when everyone agrees • See the full ranking so the runner-up is never a mystery • Order the winner and eat TWO WAYS TO PLAY • One phone, pass-and-play — the phone goes around the table, everyone swipes in turn, no peeking • Everyone on their own phone — swipe at the same time and Schmatch tallies the votes YOUR REAL FAVORITES Schmatch isn't an anonymous list of random restaurants. You only swipe dishes people actually love, so the match is always something the whole group is happy to eat. Add your own favorites in seconds — what it is and where it's from. PERFECT FOR • Friend groups that can never decide • Flatmates picking dinner • Date nights and couples • Office lunch runs • Anyone tired of the "I don't care, you pick" loop Stop debating. Start swiping. Schmatch.
