Vegan restaurant discovery with allergy filters

Build a vegan food finder app that lets users filter by allergies and dietary restrictions. HappyCow proves demand, but lacks nuanced dietary needs support.

Why now

Veganism is growing, but niche dietary needs within it (gluten-free, nut allergies) are underserved.

Who for
Vegans with food allergies
Business model
Premium filters and offline access
Effort
A few weeks

Vegans with additional dietary restrictions struggle to find suitable restaurants even in vegan-friendly areas.

An app that layers allergy/food sensitivity filters over restaurant databases, with community verification like 'this pad thai is truly peanut-free'.

Premium users pay for saved custom filters and offline access to their safe options.

Start by scraping HappyCow data and adding toggle filters for top 10 allergens.

Risk: Restaurants change menus frequently; inaccurate data could cause health issues.
