About GastroMatch
GastroMatch is a trust-first system for dish choice in unfamiliar contexts.
Why the project exists
- Restaurant ratings do not solve dish choice.
- Translation does not solve uncertainty.
- People need a decision they can trust.
What GastroMatch is
- Not a restaurant marketplace.
- Not a delivery product.
- Not a generic food scanner.
- A personal decision engine for dish-level choice.
What makes it different
- Taste DNA — a portable model of taste that travels with you.
- An explanation layer — why a dish may fit you, not just what it is.
- Local dish signal — from people with similar taste nearby.
- Memory of past choices — your history improves future recommendations.
- Trust over coverage — the system may stay silent rather than guess.
How the system thinks
- Confidence matters.
- Silence is better than a confident error.
- Explainability matters more than aggressive recommendation.
Product philosophy
- A social network of dishes, not people — tied to place and taste.
- Every saved dish improves your future travel decisions.
- Growth should strengthen trust, not weaken it.
