Many people who have had bariatric surgery find that eating out can be difficult as they need smaller portions of food. Sometimes requests for just a starter, or a childs portion are turned down, or ordering a main course and not being able to finish it leads to awkward questions from restaurant staff and make what should be a happy occasion distressing.

Many people do not like to tell others they have had bariatric surgery, so requesting smaller portions without having to explain why may also be embarrassing.
This app will help people to find restaurants and other places to eat where people who have had bariatric surgery can enjoy themselves without worrying about being placed in difficult situations.

The principle of the app is very simple and yet extremely powerful with the ability to inspire others to visit new places and share their experiences with the community.

It provides a simple and convenient way to discover places and leave reviews. Helping you to rate places by the following important categories:

- Quality
- Value
- Friendliness
- Variety
