No Chains. Just Good Local Food

The Marks

Vouch

One tap that says you have eaten here and it is good. Nobody sees who vouched, only how many did.

Crown

One crown per category. Your single best tacos, your single best coffee. Spending it somewhere new moves it off the old place.

Caché

Your own store of places worth keeping. Sort it by distance, file it into lists, and it follows you to your next phone.

The Chain Filter Is The Product

A twelve seat noodle bar two streets away outranks the drive thru on the highway.

Every other app ranks restaurants by prominence, which is a polite word for whoever already has the most reviews. Local Haunts runs a second pass sorted purely by distance, merges it with the popular one, then drops the chains out of both.
