Zesty

Zesty is your personal restaurant concierge—a local food discovery tool that cuts through the noise of endless restaurant scrolling and gets you to exactly what you want to eat. Whether you're craving something specific or have no idea what you want, Zesty seems to be building the smart assistant that figures it out for you.

Built by a team of eight—Gianmarco Carrieri, Abhinav Ramesh, Andy Fang, Jeff H, Ruolan Xia, Brad Willard, Elisha Ong, and Emmanuella Udoh—they're taking on a space dominated by Yelp, Google Maps, and a dozen other apps that all show you the same 500 options. The concierge angle is smart: instead of throwing 10,000 restaurants at you, Zesty wants to understand what you actually want and deliver one good answer. Restaurant discovery is ripe for disruption—people hate the decision fatigue of choosing where to eat, and existing platforms are optimized for advertisers, not eaters. If Zesty can actually deliver a concierge-level experience, they're sitting on something valuable. Launched on Product Hunt, now available at zesty.com.
