Project Overview
Passport: A dish-first app for finding global foods near you
After years of traveling, I often crave specific dishes I discovered abroad, but couldn’t easily find them again at home.
Existing tools are:
- Location-first (“restaurants near me”)
- Too broad (“Thai food”)
- Fragmented across apps (Google, Yelp, blogs)
People don’t crave cuisines. They crave specific dishes.
Solution
I designed a dish-first discovery app that helps users fulfill cravings in three ways:
- Find it locally: nearby restaurants serving the dish
- Order it online: via platforms like Goldbelly or Weee
- Make it at home: recipes + ingredient guidance
One search with multiple ways to satisfy the craving.
UX & Growth
- Dish-first search: Removes friction and aligns with real user intent
- No dead ends: Every search returns options (local, delivery, or recipe)
- Save & revisit: Builds a personal library of dishes that drives repeat use
- High-intent SEO: Captures searches like “where to find kremepita near me”
Next Steps
The app is still a work in progress. While some screens are fully designed, others are in progress and not yet aligned with the final design system in Figma.
Currently, the app runs on a limited dataset. The next step is to expand its capabilities by integrating the Google Business Profile and Google Maps APIs for more robust, real-time results.
In the meantime, feel free to explore the app and try it out!
