OrderInsider

Charlotte, NC

What should I order?

OrderInsider answers it with picks from the people who ate there. A pick is a guest backing one item on the menu — one pick per section, cast after their visit — so every restaurant’s menu ends up counted by the guests who ordered from it, drinks included.

The demo shows La Capital MX’s real menu with synthesised picks, so you can see what a page looks like at volume. None of those numbers are real yet.

111 picks across 21 Charlotte restaurants in the last twelve months.

1

Scan the card

It sits in the check presenter. No account, no email — the code opens the restaurant’s page on OrderInsider.

2

Back what you’d order again

After you’ve eaten, tap the one item in each section you’d come back for. A starter, a main and a drink can all be named on one visit.

The next table sees it

Counts and shares by section, on the restaurant’s page here — and on their own menu, once they’ve added it.

Why you can trust a pick

  • One pick per section, per guest, per month. Nobody stacks the count.
  • Counts can’t be bought, edited or removed — not by the restaurant, and not by us. No restaurant can pay for placement or ranking.
  • A pick stands for a year. A share only shows once a section has 20 picks behind it, so a percentage is never three people.

How the counting works

For restaurants

Your menu, counted by the people who ordered from it.

Reviews tell a first-timer where to eat. They don’t tell them what to order, and a guest who guesses wrong on a first visit rarely comes back to find out. Picks answer the question at the table, section by section, from guests who actually ordered the thing — and they cover the whole menu, not the corner of it people happen to write about.

You get a card for the check presenter with your name and your code on it, a page on OrderInsider where your guests’ picks add up, a version of your menu in your own colors that you can put on your website, and a dashboard that shows which items are being backed and where guests came from.

You can’t edit the count, and neither can we. That is the point: a number a regular can vouch for is worth more to the next table than one you wrote yourself.
