Swipe on nearby restaurants, match with friends, and settle where to eat. Together. Chicken Tender ends the "I don't know, where do you want to go?" loop. Everyone pulls out their phone, everyone swipes, and the first place you all say yes to is dinner. HOW IT WORKS 1. Open the app with your friends nearby. Phones find each other over Bluetooth. No accounts, no sign-up, no group link to share. 2. Swipe right on places you'd eat, left on places you wouldn't. 3. The moment everyone likes the same restaurant, you've got a match. 4. Torn between a few? Spin for it and let fate pick. ONLY WHAT'S OPEN Open Now is on by default, so you never match on a place that's closed. Turn it off if you're planning ahead. EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO DECIDE Cards show hours, a description, highlights, rating, and distance. Pull up for the details: popular times, the menu, ordering and reservation links, a map, and one-tap directions and calling. Browse a menu without ever leaving the app. Found a place worth sending? Share it with anyone: friends with Chicken Tender open it right in the app, and everyone else gets a quick look at the restaurant. SAVE THE PLACES YOU LOVE Tap the star on any card to keep a spot in your Favorites. Write yourself a note and list the dishes you always order, and they'll be right there on the card the next time it comes up. Favorite a chain once and every location counts. Your Favorites are one tap from the home screen, with hours on the list so you can see what's open before you go. They travel with you, too: land in a new city, or just pin a different neighborhood, and the list leads with what's within five miles of wherever you're looking, including the nearest branch of a chain you saved back home. Notes are yours alone, never shared with the group. MAKE IT YOURS Filter by cuisine. Sort by distance. Pin a different neighborhood and plan dinner across town. Add a name and photo so friends know whose vote is whose. TRAVELS WITH YOU Away from home? Chicken Tender works outside the US too. Search from anywhere and we'll find the restaurants around you, so the same swipe-and-match settles dinner in a city you've never been to. PLAYS WELL ALONE No friends around? Swipe solo and let Chicken Tender pick for you. NO ACCOUNTS. NO NONSENSE. Chicken Tender doesn't need an email address, a password, or a login. Your name and photo are shared over Bluetooth, and only while you play.
