Each week we review a food related app. This week it’s Tasteful – Healthy Restaurant Finder For Your Diet – find out what the Lempert Report thought.
What it says it does: Tasteful is a healthy restaurant finder that ranks nearby restaurants based on the quality of their food, not how many parking spaces they have or their mood lighting. You can now select from a number of different dietary preferences to personalize your diet even more. Avoiding gluten and dairy? No problem. Vegetarian but no soy? We got you. Eat everything but eggplant? That's cool. There's so many combinations to make it your own. Tasteful serves up restaurants and dishes to fit your healthy diet and lifestyle. Are you Vegan in Vegas? Paleo in Portland? Gluten-Free in Gilroy? Need to find a Vegetarian restaurant in Austin or a Low Carb lunch spot near work? We’ve got you covered.
What it actually does: Tasteful helps users discover healthy restaurants that source sustainable ingredients, nearby or nationwide. Find healthy dishes that fit dietary goals and lifestyle and (where available) delivery. With the “Let's Eat” feature, users can text the Tasteful bot their healthy food desires and the app will give the best recommendations around! It’s like having your own personal Health Food Concierge.
How useful is the information for target audience?: Tasteful features hundreds of thousands of healthy restaurants in cities across the country with healthy dishes suggested for each user.
Ease of use: Tasteful is very easy to use, just set the diet type or preferences and the restaurant recommendations will be tailored to each user.
Who would best benefit from the app?: Anyone looking for new restaurants in their city, traveling and wanting to find healthy food or Tasteful is great for those with dietary restrictions.
