Yes, tip use to be around 15%, but now default close to 20%. We call it tipflation.

We added tip + tax calculation on the page so you know what you are getting into as well =)

Thank you so much gffrd.

You know, my dream is to have some kind of movement where people rally to fight inflation and tipflation. Last few years, we seen some crazy food price increases and it seems like its gonna get worse.

If enough people find value in affortable prices, and people go to those restaurants that offer good deals, either as lunch special or weekly promotion, more restaurant will try to offer these kind of deals. Win for customers, win for restuarant.

Might be getting a head of myself there.. but that's the vision. (If you check "About" page, I put another dream which is to make this website turn non-profit later down the road if we make money lol)

yes, beggar map, I thought about using beggarmap.com but didn't sound right in English. I plan to give that domain name back to Korean founder. (I sent him an email already offering free transfer)

Like you can create similar meal yourself? That might actually help get more engagement from users.. not sure how much it will cost me though, AI API costs a lot these days T-T

Good question! Good : Google Review 4.2 with 500+ reviews Meal : Proper meal that can qualify as lunch or dinner

But honestly... not fulfilling all the requirement just yet >_<

I do for Dallas area, which is our launch city. I will add filter to remove all the appentizers and snacks, and only post proper "meals" adding guidance as well. This community gave me so many good advices!

LMAO, hey might be still worth it for $6.99 =D

Man.. I feel like I owe you lunch for making this suggestions. Noted and definitely taking this to heart

jaep1on Show HN: CheapFoodMap – A map of good meals under $10

I guess we are trying to remove couple of steps. single $ sign mostly gives you fastfood chain restuarants. You wouldn't be able to find killer lunch special deals or local hidden gem menues. You can still find them, but it take efforts through trial and errors. I felt difficult finding killer deals, and having a website that shows these killer deals can bring value. But this is just me.. maybe this is my hopeful thinking?

Wow, thank you for this suggestion. This might be most sustainable way to update prices, as long as I set boundaries correctly. I will research how GasBuddy set up their data pipeline this week to see if we can benchmark.

You're right, and it's on me — I seeded SF from published menus to bootstrap the map, and some entries are snacks, not meals. Seeded rows are labeled "Posted on [date]" vs "Price verified [date]" for ones a human actually confirmed, but the meal/snack line needs to be a rule.. This week: pruning the non-meals and adding submission guidance

Thank you again for suggestion!

We have "Cities" section that support DFW area and divide it into more neighborhoods. https://cheapfoodmap.com/cities will this work?

jaep1on Show HN: CheapFoodMap – A map of good meals under $10

Thank you! We are trying to share best deals on there =)

jaep1on Show HN: CheapFoodMap – A map of good meals under $10

Wow, I am surprised to see so many recommandation for global app. We will definitely work on this soon.

jaep1on Show HN: CheapFoodMap – A map of good meals under $10

It is becoming harder to find them. Just few lunch specials and hidden gems.

I hope this app can help share these hidden gems.

Maybe I should just delete bad data and just put few legit places only?

jaep1on Show HN: CheapFoodMap – A map of good meals under $10

YES! Would love to expand internationally! If you visit, look for good lunch on the map =)

jaep1on Show HN: CheapFoodMap – A map of good meals under $10

O man, I would love to expand to other countries! Once we polish the website, Canada will be the first global launch for sure!

jaep1on Show HN: CheapFoodMap – A map of good meals under $10

thats really good point. I should put more guidance on the submission.

Basic rules were no franchise, actual meals only. I was filtering manually in DFW area for now, but should actually add more features and guidance in general.

This is actually critical point. Thank you for pointing that out.

Thank you, which metro area? We need to expand
