Thank you! You are right on the money =) I guess my intention are some shock value and differentiator that makes us stand out against all other crowdsource services. I thought under $10 meal these days would be considered very affortable in most states. We do have parameter to change it up to $14 and we might increase that ceiling later.

I am really considering restaurant sponsors. As long as money goes into the community support mission, it will actually work better this way. (sustainable growth)

I hope so too, Google goes after any name that remind people of their name with similar service.. so Froogal / Foogle map was off the table.. but I love the name, I wish I can use it T-T

I have used Google API / Yelp AP and filtered them rigorously.. Most of them I personally found and updated by researching. AND prices is always increasing.. like almost every month. That's the season we are living in, constant inflation T-T

So that is my biggest task, how to keep the prices fresh. So many good suggestions made from this forum which is super helpful =)

I used Google API / Yelp API to get top food reviewed places (4.2 star and 500+ reviews) and let used Claude API to review individual listing and menus twice. Google API has free API offered when you first start ($300) so you can try it out!

No problem, it was only for my initial seed data. I just set hard requirement so I don't have any "bad" recommandation for users coming in. There are no limit for user submission at this time =)
