More restaurant categories and 4 initial ranking options
I just found this sub - reading everyone else’s complaints and have some ideas:
- adding a 4th “loved it” ranking - I tend to be overly positive / say I liked almost everything because the yellow “it was fine” just feels too harsh but it leads to so many 8s and 9s where they shouldn’t be. I think adding an “I loved it” option that would split the initial rankings into 4 categories would fix this.
-adding more categories for types of restaurants. I get so tired of comparing my favorite sandwich place or takeout spot to a really nice dinner out. My go-to casual dining experience should be up in my top 20 at least but it feels crazy when looking at it side by side with a Michelin star dining experience.
-maybe instead of adding a single ranking, upon setting up your profile you weight out how much you care about a restaurant’s actual food vs vibe/experience and then compare from there (ex. 60% food, 40% experience then you compare the restaurant to other restaurants’ food then you compare to other restaurants’ vibes and from there an overall score is calculated but you could still rank just by vibe or just by food if you want to) doesn’t have to be those two options, just an idea because I struggle with overrating places where I just had a great time
Also, I’m not sure if I just don’t understand the app but I’m confused by how to look at an areas top rated spots. If I search a city and select for it to show me “recs” and I sort by ranking, are those all the top spots in that area? Or is it showing me a subsection based on what it thinks I’ll like.
