Quick facts

The ranking phrase is swipe-to-vote, not “group restaurant picker” and not the “where should we eat?” headline on another guide.

UX

Swipe vote

Right if you like a restaurant, left if not. The group sees real-time results.

Start

Invite code

Create or join a dining group, set location and dining preferences, swipe the local list.

Privacy

Private groups

Encrypted sync. Dining preferences are not collected, stored, or sold.

Location

On device

The product page describes location data as staying on the device.

Filters

Listed

Cuisine, price, distance, and dietary preferences.

Swipe workflow

Vote with a swipe. Skip the group-chat spiral.

Step 1

Create or join a group

An invite code puts the people who have to eat together in the same session.

Step 2

Set location and dining preferences

The local list is the deck. Filters include cuisine, price, distance, and dietary preferences.

Step 3

Swipe right or left

Right if you like a restaurant, left if not. Real-time results replace a 40-message thread.

Step 4

Use the group’s top choices

Decide from the vote. Picks stay in the group with encrypted sync.

Swipe-to-vote is the job

The group-picker page and the “where should we eat?” page already exist. This page owns the swipe UX: right to like, left to pass, live group totals.

PlatePick is private group voting with encrypted sync. The product page says dining preferences are not collected, stored, or sold, and location data is described as staying on device.

What this page does not invent

It does not add Tinder-for-food extras beyond the product page. Anonymous picks, filters, and invite codes are listed. Open the App Store listing for the live iOS build.
