Democratic Dining Apps

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

KtchUp Lets Friends Vote on Where to Eat Together

— September 5, 2017 — Lifestyle
Dinners with friends are among the great pleasures in life, but deciding on where to go for dinner can be among the great pains, so the KtchUp app helps to save the good while getting rid of the bad. The app uses democracy to help groups of friends decide on where to get dinner, applying the rigors of the Ancient Greek system to the trials of modern day Millennials.

The simple interface uses cards for each restaurant, and users swipe those cards left and right to place their votes on restaurant in much the same way as popular dating apps like Tinder. Once enough friends in the group have agreed on a place, they can tap through to gain more information about the location and the menu.
Trend Themes
1. Democracy-based Decision Making - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Developing apps or platforms that apply voting systems to help groups make decisions in various contexts.
2. Swipe-based User Interfaces - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating intuitive and engaging user interfaces that allow users to swipe left or right to make choices, similar to popular dating apps.
3. Social Dining Experiences - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Creating platforms or services that enhance social dining experiences by facilitating group decision-making and providing information about restaurants and menus.
Industry Implications
1. Restaurant Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrating democracy-based decision-making features into restaurant technology solutions, enhancing the dining experience for customers.
2. Mobile App Development - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Designing and developing mobile apps with swipe-based user interfaces, offering a seamless and enjoyable user experience.
3. Social Networking - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Incorporating social dining features into existing social networking platforms, allowing users to plan and decide on dining experiences with their friends.
