The restaurant app that actually helps groups decide. Swipe solo to build your perfect restaurant lists. When it's time to eat, invite friends to swipe—Dinelist's AI shows you what everyone loves. No more endless scrolling, group chat chaos, or settling for the same old spots. HOW IT WORKS Start Solo – Build Your Lists Swipe through restaurants and save favorites to custom lists: Date night spots Quick lunch options Places to try for delivery Your go-to weekend brunch spots Every swipe is beautiful. Every card shows what actually matters—vibe, noise level, what people loved, what they didn't. The AI learns your taste as you go. Decide Together – Invite Your Group When it's time to pick a place: Create a session: dine-in, delivery, or pickup Invite friends to swipe Everyone sees their matches instantly AI shows consensus: "4 of 5 people loved this. Sarah's been here before." Reach a decision in 2 minutes. Not 30. WHY DINELIST ACTUALLY WORKS AI That Gets It We synthesize thousands of reviews into insights that matter: "Cozy Italian spot. Amazing carbonara. Gets loud after 8 PM." No more reading 50 Yelp reviews to figure out if you'll like a place. Built for Groups, Not Just You Every other restaurant app is built for solo browsing. Dinelist is built for the reality of how people actually eat—together. The group mode isn't an afterthought; it's the whole point. Your Lists, Your Way Organize restaurants however makes sense to you. By occasion, by neighborhood, by cuisine, by mood. Build your personal database of spots you actually want to remember. Real Consensus See exactly what your friends think. No more "I don't care" or "whatever you want." Everyone swipes, everyone has a voice, and the AI surfaces options that actually work for the group. Personalization That Learns The more you swipe, the smarter Dinelist gets. It learns what you love, what you avoid, and the patterns in your preferences. Your recommendations get better every time you use it. THE RESULTS Our users reach group dining decisions 34% of the time. Industry standard? Less than 10%. Why?

WHAT ARE YOU CRAVING? Sometimes you know exactly what you want. Sometimes all you know is: “Something cheesy.” “A really good burger.” “Something healthy but filling.” “Spicy chicken.” “Dessert. Definitely dessert.” That’s where Cravio comes in. Cravio is a new way to discover food, built around one simple idea: you shouldn’t have to scroll through endless restaurant lists just to figure out what to eat. Instead, tell Cravio what you’re craving. Speak it. Type it. Describe the mood. Cravio helps turn your craving into dishes and restaurants that actually make sense for you. SPEAK YOUR CRAVING Forget starting with the restaurant. Start with the food. Tell Cravio what sounds good and discover menu items that match what you have in mind. You can be specific: “Double cheeseburger with bacon.” Or keep it simple: “Something sweet.” Cravio makes food discovery feel more natural, because choosing your next meal should start with what you actually want to eat. DISCOVER SOMETHING NEW Your next favorite dish might be sitting on a menu you’ve never opened. Cravio helps you explore restaurants through their food, making it easier to discover dishes, hidden gems and new places around you. Instead of asking: “Which restaurant should I order from?” Ask: “What am I craving?” We’ll take it from there. FROM CRAVING TO ORDER Found something that looks good? Explore the restaurant, browse its menu, customize your items, add them to your basket and place your order directly through Cravio. Simple. No endless searching. No jumping between apps. No overthinking dinner. Just crave, discover and order. EXPLORE RESTAURANTS Already know what you’re looking for? Browse restaurants and menus directly, explore different cuisines and discover places you may not have tried before. Whether it’s your usual order or something completely new, Cravio gives you another way to find it. YOUR ORDERS, ALL IN ONE PLACE Keep track of your active and previous orders from inside the app. See what you ordered, follow your current order status and easily revisit meals you enjoyed before. MADE FOR THOSE “WHAT SHOULD WE EAT?” MOMENTS You know the conversation. “What do you want?” “I don’t know, you?” “I don’t know either.” Cravio was made for exactly that moment. Open the app, say what sounds good and start discovering. Your craving doesn’t need to be perfectly described. Sometimes “crispy,” “comfort food,” “lots of cheese,” or “I want something light” is more than enough to get started. MEET CRAVI And you won’t be exploring alone. Meet Cravi, Cravio’s little companion, here to make discovering your next meal a little more fun. Because food ordering doesn’t have to feel like browsing a spreadsheet of restaurants. It can have personality. WHY CRAVIO? • Discover food based on what you’re craving • Speak or type what you want • Get relevant restaurant and menu-item suggestions • Explore restaurants and full menus • Customize items before ordering • Save your addresses for easier ordering • Follow your active orders • View your previous orders • Discover new dishes and restaurants • Enjoy exclusive offers and promotions available on Cravio Food discovery should feel effortless. Whether you know exactly what you want or have absolutely no idea, Cravio helps you go from: “I’m hungry…” to: “That. I want that.” Your next craving is waiting. Cravio. Speak your craving.
