From "what should we eat" to eating

Set your taste

Dietary needs, distance, price — set once, respected on every card after that.

2

Swipe

Right to save, left to pass. Solo, or in a live Group Swipe with friends.

3

Match & go

Everyone agrees on one dish. Get directions or call, straight from the card.

Why YUMI exists

"Where do you want to eat?"

"I don't know, where do you want to eat?"

Every group has had this conversation.

I'm the founder, and I still hate being the one who picks.

What if they can't do spicy? What if they hate cafés?

Swipe solo. Or open a Group Swipe — the moment everyone swipes right on the same dish, that's dinner.

What's inside

Built for how real groups actually decide

01

Swipe to Discover

Right to save, left to pass. See a photo, distance, price, and dietary tags in one glance — enough to decide in seconds, not minutes.

02

Group Swipe

Host a room, share a code, and swipe the exact same deck together in real time. Everyone swipes right on the same dish — that's the match, instantly.

03

Dietary-First Filtering

Halal, vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, allergies — set it once, and every card respects it. No more asking the waiter and hoping.

04

Actually Nearby

Distance, radius, and price filters tuned to where you are right now — not a generic "trending" list from three cities over.

05

Save & Go

Saved a dish? Get directions or call the restaurant straight from the card. Saving something on YUMI actually leads somewhere.

06

Real Local Spots

Restaurants join and manage their own listings — the small local place, not just whoever paid for the top ad slot.

07

Photos you can trust

Every dish photo is checked by a real person, typically within 48 hours, to catch pictures lifted from someone else's menu. Dishes that pass get a Verified Photo badge. It isn't a guarantee, so YUMI Plus members can also mark whether the dish looked like its photo when it arrived, and everyone can see the tally. Review switches on Monday 28 September; until then, upload freely.

Founder's story

Hi everyone!!

I'm an engineering student who somehow decided it was a good idea to casually build an app on top of everything else I already have going on.

I've been working on YUMI for about 10 months now, mostly in between classes, assignments, random life problems, and me questioning why I even started this in the first place.

There were definitely a few points where I seriously thought, "okay, maybe I should just stop." But I didn't.

Because honestly… I'm tired of being asked "where do you wanna eat?" when I genuinely DO NOT KNOW.

Like why is choosing food suddenly a group decision that takes 20 minutes??

So I built YUMI: basically a swipe-to-decide food app where you swipe through places, save what you like, and hopefully make the whole "what should we eat?" problem a little less painful.

And after months of it living on my laptop, breaking, getting fixed, breaking again, getting redesigned, and me probably overthinking every tiny thing… YUMI is finally out.

Real people can actually use it now.

If YUMI saves you and your friends from one of those endless:

  • "idk, you choose"
  • "anything"
  • "idk i'm following you"
  • "no you choose"

conversations… then honestly, that's already the whole point. 😂

Thank you to anyone who tries it, gives feedback, shares it, or simply tells a friend about it. It genuinely means a lot to me ❤️
