Hi Hacker News community! We’re Vaibhav and Richard, founders of Simmer (<a href="https://usesimmer.com" rel="nofollow">https://usesimmer.com</a>).
Simmer aggregates dishes from DoorDash, Caviar, GrubHub, and basically every other delivery platform out there, and tells users the best dishes across the board. We do this by providing dish-level reviews.<p>Users find highly reviewed dishes on Simmer, choose the delivery platform of their liking, and we deep link them into their chosen delivery app. We essentially lead gen to delivery.<p>We started working on Simmer because we loved trying new restaurants, but never knew what to order. Especially, when there’s a 5 page menu. We always asked ourselves, “Why aren’t there ratings for individual dishes?”<p>We launched our app with this restaurant-centric use case (reviews for every dish at every restaurant), but when we rolled out delivery integrations, we realized that users resonated most with the delivery angle. They found it particularly difficult to find great dishes on delivery (after all, there are no waiters to give you recommendations).<p>As a result, we have doubled down on becoming an aggregator of delivery dishes across platforms. So far, the app features hundreds of restaurants (and even more dishes) that deliver in New York, Chicago, and San Francisco.<p>We’re a young company trying to foster positivity and appreciation of food, but we have a lot to learn. So if you are a big eater, order in a bunch, are indecisive like us, or just want to know what the best dishes are nearby, do check out the app! Shoot us a message at vaibhav@usesimmer.com - we’re eager to hear this community’s ideas, experiences, and feedback :)<p>Download: <a href="https://go.onelink.me/PdWH/hackernews" rel="nofollow">https://go.onelink.me/PdWH/hackernews</a>
