The app allows you to both find new places to eat and helps you and your friends decide where to go. You create or join a party, invite your friends and everyone gets to vote on the top restaurants in their area. Drinkd uses a card system to represent each restaurant. Using the cards, you have an idea of the restaurants Yelp rating, price range, cuisine and much more. Once in a party, you can then rate each restaurant and chat with other party members. The top three highest rated restaurant's are then shown to each user in the party.
