Personalized Location-Based Food Apps

HowUDish Helps People with Dietary Restrictions

— February 22, 2018 — Lifestyle
Those with dietary restrictions who struggle to eat at takeout restaurants may want to download HowUdish - a new app that connects individuals to nearby restaurants that can cater to their dietary restrictions or limitations.

This location-based app filters through bars, cafes, restaurants and more to offer the user a curated list of applicable menus that help them stick to their diet plans. In addition to catering to paleo, gluten-free or vegan diets, the app can help those who are looking to bulk up or slim down. Simply inputting one's current and desired weight will prompt the device to select menu offerings that will help users achieve their goal weight.

While location-based food apps aren't new, HowUDdsh hopes to offer users something different that adds an element of personalization and convenience.
Trend Themes
1. Personalized Location-based Food Apps - HowUDish is just one example of a growing trend of location-based food apps providing personalized experiences for users with dietary restrictions.
2. Curated Dietary Menus - The app's ability to curate menus based on dietary needs presents an opportunity for restaurants to create tailored dining experiences for their customers and stand out in a crowded market.
3. Data-driven Health-conscious Apps - The app's use of personal data to recommend menu items based on individualized health goals is part of a larger trend of data-driven apps that cater to health-conscious consumers.
Industry Implications
1. Restaurant Industry - HowUDish presents an opportunity for restaurants to cater to a wider range of customers with dietary restrictions and gain a competitive edge in the market.
2. Technology Industry - The trend of location-based food apps creating personalized experiences for users is driving innovation in the technology industry, particularly in the areas of data analytics and user experience design.
3. Health and Wellness Industry - The app's ability to recommend menu items based on individual health goals is part of a larger trend in the health and wellness industry towards personalized health initiatives and a greater use of technology.
