You flew in. You have forty-eight hours, two dinners, and a group chat that will never agree. theBEAT is the friend who already knows — the dishes that earned the gold, the chefs whose taste you trust, and the quiet places nobody’s posted about yet.
Every Priority feature solves a specific kind of arrival. No "explore by category." No 4.2-star tyranny. Just the dish you flew in for — and three others you didn’t know to ask about.
The bride is gluten-free. Her sister hates seafood. Two friends are vegan, one is in marathon mode, and someone just texted "anything but Italian." Group Hunt narrows it to three options the group actually agrees on — before the Uber pulls up to the Airbnb.
You finished the conference at 6:14 PM. You’re hungry, alone, and you’d rather not eat hotel-bar truffle fries again. theHUNT reads where you are, what’s open, what’s worth it — and sends one verdict you can walk to before the line forms.
Your college roommate is in town Thursday through Sunday and you don’t want to wing it. The Concierge sets each night — the room, the budget, the craving, in your own words — from the dinner you’ve been waiting to take someone to, to the quiet rooftop you’ve never been to alone. You get the credit, the friend gets the trip.
You don’t want trendy. You want the restaurant where the servers know how to disappear and the lighting was designed by someone who has actually been on a date. The occasion modes filter by occasion, not for the feed — "Anniversary," "First date," "Birthday," "Friend in town."
The Mall is packed. Every brunch on every list is two-hour- wait. Plan a meal anchors your night on what’s actually happening — the pop-ups, the food halls, the chef-on-chef collabs you didn’t know were on this weekend. The reservations the locals are quietly moving on while you’re staring at a map.
You don’t want a list of fifty. You want to see where the people whose taste you trust are actually eating. Turn on Circles, follow them, and their picks sit beside the board — never a paid placement — so you land already knowing where the locals eat.
Not an itinerary — a sense of the rhythm. What the app actually does when you tell it you’re here, why, and for how long. Real picks will land when you open it.
Celiac in an unfamiliar kitchen. A nut allergy at a menu you can’t interrogate. Halal or kosher in a city where you don’t know a single kitchen. The pain doesn’t take a vacation just because you did. Our filters aren’t a Priority unlock — they’re free for everyone, every plan, every trip. Because access matters more than revenue.
They’ve planned three bachelorette weekends, two work-trip dinners, and the surprise anniversary getaway that still comes up in the group chat. Lifetime, one time: $159 for the first 50 Lifetime members, then $249.
