Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about WhattaEat, the social food discovery app that helps people find restaurants, food trucks, local dishes, and hidden gems through short authentic food videos.
What is WhattaEat?
WhattaEat is a social food discovery app that helps people decide where and what to eat through short, authentic food videos. Instead of relying only on written reviews and static photos, users can explore real dishes, restaurant experiences, and local food spots through videos shared by real diners and creators.
Is WhattaEat free?
Yes. WhattaEat is free for people to use. You can explore food videos, discover restaurants, save places for later, and browse local food spots without paying. If you are a restaurant, food truck, or vendor interested in business-related support, you can contact us directly by email.
Are business accounts free on WhattaEat?
Yes. Basic business account features on WhattaEat are free. Restaurants, food trucks, and local food vendors can be featured on the platform and participate in the WhattaEat community without paying for basic access. Additional paid business tools and premium features are currently in development as we continue expanding the platform.
How does WhattaEat help me find restaurants near me?
WhattaEat uses location-based discovery to help you explore restaurants, dishes, and food spots around you. Instead of just showing a list of places, the app combines food videos with map-based discovery so you can quickly preview what a place looks like, what people are ordering, and where it is located before deciding where to go.
How does WhattaEat work?
WhattaEat combines short-form food videos, community sharing, and location-based discovery into one experience. Users can watch videos of real dishes, discover nearby restaurants and food trucks, explore local hidden gems on a map, and save places they want to try later. The goal is to make food discovery more useful than social media and more engaging than traditional restaurant apps.
Can I discover food trucks on WhattaEat?
Yes. WhattaEat is built to help people discover not only restaurants, but also food trucks, local vendors, and hidden gems. We believe some of the best food experiences come from smaller local spots, and the platform is designed to make them easier to find through video and map-based discovery.
How is WhattaEat different from Yelp or Google Maps?
WhattaEat is more visual and social. Traditional restaurant platforms often focus on written reviews, ratings, and listings. WhattaEat focuses on short food videos connected to real map pins, helping users see dishes, portion sizes, and the overall vibe of a place before visiting. It is designed to make food discovery feel more authentic, engaging, and useful for real decision-making.
How is WhattaEat different from TikTok for food discovery?
TikTok is great for entertainment and broad food inspiration, but it is not built specifically to help people decide where to eat nearby. WhattaEat connects food videos to actual restaurant locations and map pins, making it easier to go from watching food content to finding a real place to visit. The app is built for food discovery, local exploration, and practical decision-making.
Can I save dishes or restaurants for later?
Yes. You can save places and food discoveries for later inside the app. If you find a dish, restaurant, or local food spot you want to remember, simply use the bookmark feature to keep track of it and come back when you are ready.
Can users upload their own food videos?
Yes. Users can upload their own food videos to share dishes, restaurants, and food experiences with others. WhattaEat is built around community-driven food discovery, so authentic videos from real people are an important part of the platform.
Is WhattaEat available on Android?
Not yet. WhattaEat is currently available on iPhone, and the Android version is in development. We plan to launch Android in the future as we continue improving and expanding the platform.
What cities does WhattaEat work in?
WhattaEat is currently focused on Southern California, especially Los Angeles and San Diego. At the same time, people across the United States can join the platform, help add location pins, and contribute food video content as the community continues to grow.
Can local restaurants or food vendors be featured on WhattaEat?
Yes. Local restaurants, food trucks, and food vendors can be featured on WhattaEat. We are especially interested in helping people discover authentic local spots and hidden gems. If you want your business featured or want to learn more, contact us directly.
How do I contact WhattaEat support?
You can contact WhattaEat support by emailing contact@whattaeat.com. Reach out if you need help with the app, want to report an issue, or have questions about business accounts, partnerships, or getting featured.
