Quick facts

PlatePick is built for the “where should we eat?” loop: private group votes on local restaurants. Dining data is not an ad product.

Job

Pick a place

Friends swipe local restaurants instead of arguing in the chat.

How

Group vote

Create a group, swipe, read the result.

Privacy

Private groups

Encrypted sync keeps preferences confidential.

Ads

No dining data sales

Preferences are not collected, stored, or sold for ads.

Platform

iOS

Listed on the App Store as PlatePick.

Dinner workflow

Vote once. Eat. Skip the 40-message thread.

Step 1

Make a group

The people who have to eat together should be in the same vote.

Step 2

Swipe the local list

Everyone marks restaurants they can live with instead of one person deciding.

Step 3

Read the result

The votes surface a spot without a tie-breaker speech.

Step 4

Keep preferences private

Encrypted sync is there so the picks stay in the group.

The question is the product

“Where should we eat?” fails because nobody wants to be the decider. PlatePick turns that into swipes so a quiet preference still counts.

The product is private group voting, not a public taste profile.

What PlatePick is not

It is not a restaurant-review feed and it is not an ads graph of where you eat. The public product page says dining preferences are not collected, stored, or sold for ads.
