Your feed consists of updates received for restaurants and locations, as well as types of events, deals and specials that you follow. All updates are lined up in order of date and time of the event.

Ongoing deals and specials that you may follow will appear in your feed each week (for instance each Tuesday) during their duration.

I don’t see any updates in my feed. What should I do?

If there are no updates in your feed, it means that no relevant happenings have been added yet. Since UP2CHOICE is still under development, not all restaurant owners have heard about it. We would be glad if you could share your interest in our platform with them.

Food and Drink Tags

What are food and drink tags?

Food and drink tags represent the names of popular ingredients, dishes and drinks listed on menus of various restaurants and their happenings.

Why are they used?

Having reviewed thousands of restaurant menus, we’ve built our food and drink database to enhance search options for our audience. You can search both common variants, such as widely used dishes and drinks such as “steak”, “sushi”, "wine”, “Margarita”, as well as trying more specific options (e.g. "spinach enchiladas", "spaghetti alla puttanesca", "salt and pepper shrimp", "rosemary panna cotta").

Trending tags

Trending Tags are automatically generated by UP2CHOICE’s algorithms to indicate which locations, cuisines, food and drink tags, as well as diets, are used more than others at the present moment.

My Preferences

You may add your preferences for ingredients, dishes, beverages, cuisines, diets and tastes in your profile to receive personalized recommendations. There is no such thing as an “awkward choice” for us. We will try to make sure that our recommendations suit your taste and preferences in the best possible way.

What I like and What I ignore. What’s the difference?

Some people are more likely to know their culinary preferences, but others may know only their most and least preferred choices. There are multiple variations of the same recipe and plenty of dishes and beverages you have not tried yet or don’t know that they exist. Likewise, some choices may be tricky. For instance, one may hate raw onion, but enjoys it when it is cooked and constitutes a part of a complex dish.

UP2CHOICE provides an opportunity to add what you like and dislike most, so we know what exactly should be added to and/or excluded from recommendations. If your attitude towards other choices is neutral, you may not list them.

What’s the difference between ingredients and dishes?

Ingredients include names of fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes as well as dairy, meat and seafood products. Different herbs, spices, nuts and seeds are also listed as ingredients.

Some categories are listed both as dishes and ingredients to ease the process of adding tags and preferences. You may list them in either ingredients or dishes sections, or in both of them. They include:

  • Seafood species (e.g. “tuna”, “turbot”, “lobster”, “Chilean sea bass”)
  • Types of meat (e.g. “pork”, “chicken”, “beef”)
  • Cuts of meat (e.g. “chicken fillet”, “duck breast”)
  • Steak types (e.g. “dry aged steak”, “T-bone steak”, “tomahawk steak”)
  • Staple grains (e.g. “rice”, “lentils”)

I don’t see my desired options in your list. What should I do?

Contact us at [email protected] and let us know your favorite ingredient, dish or beverage that you would like to see.

When and how will I receive personalized recommendations?

You may see personalized recommendations in your feed or receive as a newsletter if you select this option.
