Anti-Food Poisoning Apps

The DineSafe App Lets You in on Restaurant Secrets

— September 21, 2011 — Lifestyle
Moving to a new city usually means trying out a variety of unfamiliar restaurants and bars, which can be an incredibly fun experience or an absolute disaster if you pick the wrong place -- which is exactly what the DineSafe app aims to help you avoid. Created for the iPhone and Android by HackLab, the free application is a mobile version of the City of Toronto's DineSafe website, which gives the public access to all information regarding which restaurants have passed (or failed) health inspections.

I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I'd like to avoid a bad food experience at all costs, and the DineSafe app makes it incredibly easy to do so. Not only does the application allow users to search for their fave food joints, it also uses your location to show the reports for restaurants and bars surrounding your area. Never again will you have to call in sick after a mediocre meal with Toronto's DineSafe app.
Trend Themes
1. Anti-food Poisoning Apps - The rise of anti-food poisoning apps and platforms allows consumers to access restaurant health inspection data conveniently and avoid a bad dining experience.
2. Mobile Food Safety Tools - The increasing demand for mobile food safety tools like DineSafe creates an opportunity for developers to provide similar solutions for other cities worldwide.
3. Data-driven Restaurant Health Standards - Using data-driven technology to set and improve restaurant health standards may offer new business opportunities for health inspectors and food safety technology companies.
Industry Implications
1. Food Safety Technology - The development and deployment of mobile apps and platforms that provide restaurant inspection data to consumers offers opportunities for food safety technology companies to expand product offerings and market reach.
2. Hospitality - Integrating food safety technology into hospitality operations, such as hotel room service or catering services, could provide a competitive advantage and help ensure guest satisfaction.
3. Government and Regulatory Compliance - The use of data-driven technology tools for restaurant health inspections can streamline regulatory compliance processes and create new opportunities for government agencies to improve public health and safety.
