The problem
Today's discovery experience is fragmented across outdated reviews, static menus, and random social media posts. Users struggle to piece together incomplete and irrelevant information just to find a place that fits.
Most diners don’t know what they want. They know what they don’t.
And that’s exactly where we start.

93% of diners check photos or menus before deciding where to eat—but most platforms reduce this to noise.

How it works
Feast Your Eyes turns restaurant content - dishes, menus, events, ambiance - into structured, semantic data. Our patent-pending chip search allows users to filter by what they want, don't want, prefer to have or exclude (but aren't dealbreakers), with a simple click or tap to toggle the chip.
Users discover experiences visually and intuitively, searching by craving, vibe, occasion, or dietary needs - while the platform’s semantic engine dynamically matches them to the perfect dish or venue in real time. Dish pages allow for in-depth knowledge about the item, pairings, availability, and personalized suitability for the diner based on psychographic profiling.
Meanwhile, real time, next-level profiles for restaurants & bars serves better opportunity to monetize their digital presence and content.

Market Opportunity
Discovery habits are changing. Visual-first platforms like TikTok and Instagram have trained consumers to expect intuitive, crave-driven search experiences — not clunky text listings.
Our B2B2C model sits at the intersection of restaurant digitization, visual search, and intent-driven local marketing. While our core SAM is the $2.65B U.S. restaurant software and discovery market, we’re also unlocking monetizable consumer behavior and underleveraged visual assets—areas legacy platforms fail to reach.
