Totally understand. What market are you from? Unfortunately, we are only in SF, NY and Chicago so far.

By the way, you can review a dish from any arbitrary restaurant. You can search your restaurant and press the "Review a Dish" button. When we get enough of those in any city, we consider launching there next :)

I was able to find that with your instructions. However, I would not have discovered that on my own. I went to "Nearby", it said "Looks like there are no dishes near you, we have launched..."

If you think having new users organically add dishes is useful, I might just put a big "Review a dish anywhere" button in place of that message. I didn't realize that you had restaurants in there outside launch cities, so I just gave up. If the button had been there, and I could have discovered that I could review a dish at the restaurant I went to, I would have.

Maybe it isn't realistic to expect organic growth outside of launch cities. Still, right now the search functionality seems very prominent, but the add a review functionality does not.
