Would there not be issues in which restaurants don't want to reveal all the ingredients in their food? I can imagine some places would want to keep `secret` recipes from competitors.
Assume that is a non-issue, I think that a mobile app would also be a good source of revenue. If you have a food allergy you could find which dishes are `safe` without having to consult the waiter (who may not know). I could see people spending $5 for an app that did this.
- techiferous 15y agoCool, I didn't think about mobile monetization. Perhaps it's a better idea for restaurants to list what ingredients are not in the menu item, since most people are trying to avoid ingredients instead of seek them out. That would solve the secret recipe problem.
- swanson 15y agoThough it looks like there is at least one app that does this already: http://allergyfreepassport.com/mobile-apps/ http://allergyfreepassport.com/mobile-apps/
- ineedtosleep 15y ago"Secret" recipes should be fine, as you point out, if they it can just be marked as "secret" yet still contain flags (i.e. contains: gluten, nut, dairy, etc.). I don't see this is too much of a problem, especially for higher-end restaurants because most of what you're paying for in said locations is the experience of the cooks and the quality of ingredients.
