Date someone with actual taste
Your saved restaurants, your cuisine obsessions, and the hole-in-the-wall places you swear by tell us exactly who you are. Everyone says they "love food" - your dining data proves it.
Try the demoHow it works for food people
Connect your accounts. Beli, Tripadvisor, Google Maps saved places, OpenTable - we pull your restaurant saves, ratings, cuisine preferences, and dining frequency. Your bookings stay private. Only taste signals are used.
The matching engine understands food at multiple levels:
- A restaurant has a cuisine type, a price bracket, and a location
- Matching happens across the hierarchy - shared restaurants, shared cuisines, shared dining habits
- Someone who saves 3 Ethiopian restaurants in a city with only 5 is telling you something very specific about themselves
- Cross-platform: your Beli saves and their Google Maps starred restaurants resolve to the same canonical venues
Niche cuisines score higher
Everyone likes Italian. That is presence, not a personality trait. Cuisine rarity drives the niche weight.
Ratings reveal real preferences. Both saving the same restaurant is presence. Both rating it highly is genuine love. If you gave a place 5 stars and they gave it 2, the overlap disappears. The algorithm uses rating alignment as a sentiment factor.
What gets scored
Your reservation for two
Not "you both like food." The actual dining data.
The algorithm understands food obsessives
It knows that someone who has saved 40 restaurants across 12 cuisine types has a different relationship with food than someone who eats at the same 3 places. Engagement depth and cuisine diversity combine to paint a real picture.
The cross-category signal is strong too: if you also share music taste and attend food festivals together on Eventbrite, those signals compound.
Integrations
All opt-in. All revocable. Your bookings and locations are never shared - only the compatibility signals.
Affinity Atlas is in development
No matching is live yet. If you think restaurant compatibility should be a dating signal - or you have opinions about how cuisine rarity should weight matches - get in touch.
