Features and Benefits

1. The Food Wheel: Spin the food wheel to discover specific dishes or flavors that match your cravings. Rather than focusing on cuisines, we understand that people often crave particular dishes like pho, wings, pasta, or tacos. In addition to these categories, we also have options for cheesy or spicy dishes.
2. The Hangry Button: If you're feeling indecisive, simply hit the Hangry button and explore all the top-recommended dishes available in your vicinity. This feature might just save your relationship!
3. No Karens Allowed: At 8it, we prioritize the food and eliminate unnecessary complaints. You won't find lengthy reviews about service or unrelated issues here. Our recommendations are solely focused on delicious food. We aggregate them from trusted food media sources like Eater, Infatuation, The New York Times, Grub Street, TimeOut, and Thrillist. Moreover, we include recommendations from your favorite celebrity chefs, food TV shows, and podcasts. Say goodbye to keeping lists of dishes to try and simply add them to your must-eats list in the app.
4. TL;DR for Great Food: When you're searching for a great meal, the last thing you want to do is sift through lengthy articles. That's why 8it keeps it simple with recommendations limited to only eight words. No long rants or unnecessary fluff, just the most important eight words that describe what makes a dish awesome.
