01 · Taste Profile

It learns what you love.
Not what you rate.

Most apps count stars. Palate reads flavor. Answer six questions about what you ordered last week — what made you close your eyes on the first bite, what you left on the plate — and the algorithm builds a flavor fingerprint unique to you. Not a genre. Not a mood board. An actual profile of your palate.

It reads what kitchens
are cooking tonight.

Menus change. Specials rotate. A restaurant that serves your ideal meal on Tuesday might be running a prix fixe on Friday. Palate parses live menus — not cached PDFs — so the recommendation you get at 7:45 PM reflects what's actually on the pass right now.

04 · Group Sync

Four friends.
Four opinions.
One table.

Group dinners die in the group chat. Palate's Group Sync collects each person's profile, runs a constraint-satisfaction pass across the city's live menus, and surfaces the one restaurant where nobody compromises — they just win differently.

05 · City Intelligence

A city's entire dining
ecosystem. In real time.

Palate doesn't just know restaurants — it maps relationships between them. Which chefs trained together. Which kitchens share a supplier. Where the next breakout opening is likely to be. City Intelligence turns your city into a legible system, so the recommendation you get isn't just good — it's positioned within the full landscape of what's possible tonight.
