DopaEats is fake food delivery for real dopamine. Browse a city of mouth-watering restaurants, load up your cart, tap "order," and watch your meal cruise to your door — all without spending a cent or gaining a calorie. Nothing is ever charged. Nothing is ever delivered. It's the fun part of ordering takeout, minus the bill and the regret. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Browse fictional restaurants across cuisines — Italian, Japanese, Mexican, Indian, Chinese, American, breakfast, dessert, steakhouse and more. • Tap any dish to expand the photo and read its (totally true) backstory. • Add to cart, "check out" (no payment, ever — not even a card field), and track a fully simulated delivery from the kitchen to your door. • Watch the "Kitchen" dashboard tally the money you never spent and the calories you never ate, with streaks and milestones. • Everything runs on your device — no sign-up and no account required. THE WHOLE POINT Every order in DopaEats is a meal you didn't pay for and a calorie you didn't eat. No real food. No real payments. No real delivery. Just the craving, satisfied.
