How the filters work

Every filter is free. Every tier.

Dietary, religious, and medical filters aren’t a paid feature — they’re how the rankings work. Tell theBEAT what you can eat, and every list — Tonight’s pick, the Hunt, the neighborhood rankings — only shows dishes that actually fit.

Halal Kosher Celiac GLP-1 Lower-glycemic-leaning Vegan Low-FODMAP Nut-free Dairy-free Calcium-forward

N° 01

Ranked, not reviewed.

Every dish carries a score — one verdict, not five stars and a paragraph. Climbers rise. Faders fall.

N° 02

Filtered for what you can eat.

Gluten-free for the kid. Halal for the cousin. GLP-1 for your partner. Every dietary, religious, and lifestyle filter — free, every tier.

N° 03

Time-aware. "Best right now."

A breakfast list at 8am. A late-night list at 11 PM. Rankings re-cut by daypart — best means best for the hour you're actually hungry.

N° 04

Tonight's pick, waiting for you.

Every afternoon theBEAT picks one dish for your evening — chosen for the cuisines you like, the things you can't eat, the hour, and what's still open near you. Switch on the alert and it arrives when you say: 3:45 PM, or any hour that suits you better.

N° 05
