For the restaurants you already love

Where should we eat? Settled.

Keep the restaurants you love and what you ordered there, with every menu found for you. When no one can decide, Back for Seconds picks, or turns it into a two-minute game with friends that's fair to whoever lost last time.

Coming soon for iPhone and iPad.

Sound familiar?

A

You forget the restaurants you like.

So you end up at the same few standards, because the others never come to mind.

Back for Seconds keeps every restaurant you like and brings back the ones you haven't been to in a while.

B

You forget what you ordered.

"What was that dish my friend got that I loved?" Or worse: "I didn't like this last time."

Every restaurant keeps your favorite dishes, the ones to try next time, and the ones to skip.

C

Deciding with other people is a pain.

"I don't mind, where do you want to go?" goes round the table until everyone's hungry.

The app picks for you, or friends join from a link and play a quick, genuinely fun game to settle it.

A. The restaurants

The restaurants you've been missing, right at the top.

The real problem isn't finding new restaurants. It's forgetting the ones you already love. Add them from Apple Maps once, and Back for Seconds keeps them in front of you.

  • ❤️

    Due a return visit

    Restaurants you love come back after three weeks away, and ones you like after six. Restaurants that were only fine never nag you.

  • 🔔

    A Friday reminder, if you want one

    One restaurant you haven't been back to, with your favorite dish there, Fridays at 4. Quiet when nothing's due.

  • 🎲

    Pick for Me

    Can't decide alone? Say what sounds good and whether you want an old favorite, one you've been missing or somewhere new. It picks, and tells you when you last went and what you had.

B. The dishes

What you loved there, and what to skip.

Sitting down and can't remember what was so good last time? Each restaurant keeps your verdict and your dishes, so the next order is the right one.

  • ⭐

    Favorites, Want to Try, Didn't Like

    Three lists of dishes for each restaurant, each dated. Log a visit and say what you had: the ones you loved land on your favorites.

  • 🔎

    Search the words on your menu photos

    Looking for the restaurant with the good cacio e pepe? Search finds dishes, notes, cuisines and the text of the menus you photographed.

C. The deciding

Can't agree? Draft it.

Restaurant Draft turns the group chat stalemate into a quick game. Friends join from a link or a four-letter code in any browser. No app, no account.

1

You pick a few of your restaurants. Everyone who joins can add one of their own.

2

Each round, everyone secretly strikes the restaurant they least want. The strikes are revealed together, until two are left.

3

Everyone votes. Whoever didn't get their way last time gets a Save to protect a restaurant, and wins ties.

Your history

Who you went with, and what you had.

Log a visit in a few taps: the day, who was there, what you ordered and how it was. A dish you loved goes on your favorites by itself. History keeps every visit, dish and draft across all your restaurants, each line a tap from its page.

  • 🗂️

    Sort and filter

    By how near they are, by cuisine (worked out for you, or your own), by what you thought, by when you last went.

  • 🔒

    Your list stays yours

    No account and no ads. Your restaurants sync through your own private iCloud between your iPhone and iPad; menu photos never leave the device that took them. Privacy
