"The core gist of Zest Maps, rolling out today for iOS users, is the automatic logging of every restaurant and cafe you visit by tracking your credit card swipes and using your data to highlight other food spots you may enjoy."
"We only show the first visit to a place. So, if you keep going back to the same pizzeria, we're not spamming your friends with the same pizzeria."
"Gomez-Hall knows that some users will be hesitant to link their cards, emphasizing that the feature is optional and facilitated by Plaid, a popular platform that connects fintech apps to your bank."
Zest Maps is a new restaurant discovery app that automatically tracks users' dining experiences through credit card swipes. It offers personalized recommendations based on dining history, highlighting nearby food spots with photos and descriptions. The app focuses on unique dining experiences, avoiding repetitive visits to the same restaurant and minimizing chain restaurant visibility. Users can control their data sharing and have the option to link their credit cards through Plaid, ensuring privacy. The app aims to enhance the dining experience by aggregating user data to showcase emerging restaurants.
