Diners piece together restaurant choices across scattered sources

Diners looking for a restaurant that fits practical or personal preferences have to check separate sources for delivery availability, union status, local recommendations, and discounts. Some avoid restaurant apps even when they contain deals, while broad requests for recommendations may not convey that they want affordable everyday options. The signals suggest a shared discovery problem, but they do not establish how many people would use one service for all these needs.

For diners choosing where to eat. Mentioned from May 2024 to May 2026 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

  1. Is there an app where I can type in the restaurant name and it tells me which of the delivery apps has that restaurant? I’d like to not have to check them all every time!

  2. You can save 30% or more. I hate using the apps though so I've just cut back in general
