Question 1

What is Crumbs?

Accepted Answer

Crumbs is the restaurant app for London. Track every place you want to try, have been, or would never return to. Rate honestly, follow friends whose taste you trust, and decide where to go next — with booking built in. Think Goodreads for restaurants, not another generic review site.

Question 2

Is Crumbs a restaurant tracker app?

Accepted Answer

Yes — that's the core of it. Most restaurant apps are built for strangers' star ratings or influencer lists. Crumbs is a personal restaurant tracker: your lists, your visits, your scores, your tags. The more you use it, the more useful it gets. After a year of eating out, it should know your taste better than any algorithm.

Question 3

How is Crumbs different from other restaurant apps?

Accepted Answer

Three things, in order: Memory, done well. You already hoard restaurants badly. Crumbs fixes that — one place instead of pins, screenshots, and dead notes. Honest ratings. 1–10, where 9+ is rare. Most things aren't 8s. A 7 is a compliment. Friends as the filter. One friend's 8.2 beats 800 strangers averaging 4.3 stars. Their rating shows up the moment you open a restaurant. We're not trying to be Instagram for food. No DMs, no long comment threads, no leaderboard chasing.

Question 4

Does Crumbs help you find the best restaurants in London?

Accepted Answer

Not in the "top 50 listicle" sense — others already do that well. Crumbs helps you find the best restaurants for you: filtered by your history, your areas, your cuisine preferences, and what the people you actually trust have rated highly. Over time, it surfaces your own hall of fame, your regulars, and the spots your friends keep going back to. That's a better answer than a stranger's 4.3-star average.

Question 5

Can I use Crumbs to track new London restaurants?

Accepted Answer

Yes. London moves fast — new openings in Shoreditch, a pop-up in Fitzrovia, a counter you've walked past twice. Add them to your list before you forget. When you're ready, filter your list by area, cuisine, price, or what friends rate well. Crumbs is built to keep up with a city that never stops opening things.

Question 6

Where should I eat in London tonight?

Accepted Answer

Honest answer: we don't know yet — but you will, once you've built your lists. Crumbs is designed for the moment when you've got a Saturday free, a budget in mind, and three cuisines you'd happily eat. Filter your own (or your friends' ratings) by area, price, and score. See it on a map. Book it. The app gets sharper the more dinners you log.

Question 7

Is Crumbs like Beli?

Accepted Answer

Similar mechanic, different city and different tone. Beli is leaderboard-driven and US-centric. Crumbs is London-deep — built for how Londoners actually eat out, with editorial taste rather than gamified rankings. If you've used Beli and wished someone had built it properly for the UK, that's the gap we're filling.

Question 8

Can I import my Google Maps restaurant saves?

Accepted Answer

Yes — and you should. Most Londoners have years of saved places sitting in Google Maps with no ratings, no notes, and no way to find the one they wanted. Crumbs imports your starred places and custom lists in about thirty seconds. You review before anything lands. Start with a full library, not a blank screen.

Question 9

Can I import restaurants from a list or notes app?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Paste a list of names, share a Google Maps link, or pull in a Takeout export. Crumbs matches them to real venues, you confirm, and they land on your list. Useful for that note called "restaurants" with forty names and no context.

Question 10

How does the rating system work?

Accepted Answer

1–10 overall, with sub-scores for food, vibe, service, and value. The point is accuracy, not flattery. One rating per restaurant per person, updated as your view evolves. 9+ should mean something. It usually doesn't on other platforms. Here, it will.

Question 11

Can I see my restaurants on a map?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Your full library, colour-coded by list. Filter by cuisine, area, price, score, or tags. Toggle friends on to see where they've been and what they rated. Tap a pin for the restaurant card. Handy when you're standing on a street thinking "what's good around here that I already trust."

Question 12

Can I follow friends and see their restaurant ratings?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Follow people whose taste matches yours — partners, mates, that one friend who's always right about Italian. Their ratings surface on restaurant pages and in your feed. Lists and scores are public by default.

Question 13

Does Crumbs work for group decisions or date night planning?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Filter shared taste: what do you and your friends both rate highly in Soho on a Friday? Crumbs also has a planning feature for sending a few options to a group — three restaurants, you pick. Less WhatsApp spiral, more actual booking.

Question 14

Is Crumbs only for London?

Accepted Answer

At launch, yes. London first, properly — every area, every cuisine that matters, not a global app guessing at your city. Travel mode and other cities come later. If you eat out in London, this is built for you.

Question 15

Who is Crumbs for?

Accepted Answer

People who eat out seriously. You save restaurants, have opinions, use Resy, read Vittles, and are tired of recommending the same five places to everyone. You don't need another discovery feed. You need one place that remembers.

Question 16

Is Crumbs free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We believe good taste should be shared, so you and your friends can use Crumbs completely for free.

Question 17

When is Crumbs launching?

Accepted Answer

Soon. We're putting the finishing touches on the iOS and Android apps now. Join the waitlist for early access — we'll let you know the moment it's ready.

Question 18

How do I get early access?

Accepted Answer

Sign up on this page. Early access goes to waitlist members first. London only at launch.

Question 19

How is Crumbs different from Google Maps, Yelp, or TripAdvisor?

Accepted Answer

Maps is storage with no judgement — pins with no rating, no friend signal, no tiers. Yelp and TripAdvisor average everyone's opinion together until a 4.3-star rating tells you nothing. Crumbs holds an opinion: yours, and your friends'. It's a restaurant diary, not a search engine.

Question 20

Is my data private?

Accepted Answer

Your visit details — dates, photos, who you went with — are private. Ratings and list contents are public by default, because that's how taste compounds and friends find each other. You control who follows you. Full details in our Privacy Policy.

Question 21

I built a spreadsheet for restaurants. Should I feel attacked?

Accepted Answer

Only a little. The spreadsheet itself is the red flag. Import what you've got and never maintain a grid again.

Your restaurant memory, finally.
