Stars count for everyone who was there. - Start a dining club: a shared wishlist, every table you've sat at together, and your stars as a group. - Plan a trip with friends: shortlist a city, mark what's booked, log each meal afterwards, then file the trip under Past Trips. - Compare on the leaderboard and send a friend an invite link.
