Restaurants and menus

How do I add a restaurant Apple Maps doesn't know?

Tap Add Restaurant, type its name, and choose Add "…" by Hand at the bottom. On its page you can add its website, and the app will look for the menu there.

The app found the wrong menu, or none.

On the restaurant's page, tap Choose a Page on Their Website, browse to the menu and tap This Is the Menu. You can also Paste a Link Instead, or add photos of the menu. Some sites only show their menu inside an ordering page; the app says when it's using one.

Can I search for a dish?

Yes. Search covers restaurant names, cuisines, notes, your dishes, and the words on menu photos you've added.

What does Love it / Like it / It's fine mean?

It's your overall verdict on the restaurant, across every visit. Restaurants you love come back as reminders after three weeks away, ones you like after six; It's fine never nags you.

Reminders

How does the Friday reminder work?

Turn on Friday Reminder at the bottom of the home screen. Fridays at 4 PM it names one restaurant you love that you haven't been back to, never the same one two weeks running, and stays quiet when nothing's due.

I turned it on but nothing arrives.

Check Settings › Notifications › Seconds on your iPhone and make sure notifications are allowed. If nothing is due that week, there's no reminder.

Restaurant Draft

Do my friends need the app?

No. They open the link, scan the QR code, or type the four-letter code at the join page, in any browser.

What's a Save?

Anyone who didn't get their way in the last draft they played gets one Save: once, they can protect a restaurant from a round's strikes. They also win ties.

Someone wandered off mid-draft.

The host can tap Reveal Now to end a round, or Close the Vote to decide with the votes in so far.

I reloaded the page and lost my place in the draft.

Open the link again and type the same name: you'll get your seat back.
