The 'Ethnic Eats' app connects users to ethnic restaurants around them that they might not have been to before or even knew existed to help expand their culinary horizons.
Foodie culture has many consumers seeking out the best and most exotic cuisines that can be found in their respective cities. However, it can be difficult to find the hidden gems nearby without partaking in deep research to find them.
The 'Ethnic Eats' app works by aggregating the ethnic restaurants in cities that are lesser known and enabling users to get directions, read reviews and much more. The app looks to accelerate the word-of-mouth communication that usually takes place when a person finds a great restaurant that isn't listed on traditional websites or maps.
