Takeout food has reached new highs in many urban locations for consumers who are strapped for time, so 'Gopher' is a new solution to find good food nearby in a different way.
Oftentimes a food ordering app or map will simply offer you a list of food options that you can try that are nearby to your current location. This, however, leaves a lot of room for hits and misses when it comes to getting a meal. 'Gopher' aims to offer users the ability to filter the options down to what's nearby and high-quality to ensure they don't end up with an unsatisfying meal.
The 'Gopher' platform enables people to leave tips and hints on various menu items to let others know what's great or perhaps how to change something in the recipe to make it even better.
