Three lenses, one restaurant

One place. Three honest scores.

A restaurant doesn't have a single universal truth. Gusto shows you three contextual scores so you always know whose taste you're trusting — and never mistakes a crowd average for a recommendation.

On Çiya Sofrası, you'll see it at a glance: 8.9 from the people you trust (two of your friends have been), 9.3 from everyone who's logged it, and 10.0 just for you. Same place, three answers — each clearly labeled, so the number always means something.

People you trust your friends and the curators you follow, weighted first

Everyone the global score from people who actually logged and compared, never views or saves

For you your personal score, shown only when there's enough data. Never a faked number.

The duel

Which was better? That's the whole rating.

Gusto never asks you to invent a number out of thin air. You compare two places you've been — “Which was better?” — and your ranking builds itself. A few quick taps, and a real top list appears.

Pairwise duels are fast, honest, and weirdly addictive. Every comparison sharpens your list and produces a derived 10-point score for each place — earned by position, not typed in. Tie when it's close, skip when they're not comparable, undo when you change your mind.

Pick a winner, call a tie, or skip — your call
A clean 10-point score derived from where a place lands, never inflated
Undo the last duel anytime; a handful of taps is all it takes
Works from your very first restaurant to your hundredth

Friends and curators are not the same

Two kinds of taste, kept distinct.

Gusto separates the people you eat with from the people you discover through — because they do different jobs, and lumping them together is how feeds get noisy.

Friends are mutual: you both opt in, and their activity quietly shapes your “people you trust” score. Curators are a one-way follow — the Kadıköy coffee obsessive, the Karaköy regular — whose public lists are how you find your next great meal. Your feed stays a decision tool, not a dopamine machine.

Friends — mutual connections whose taste sharpens your trusted scores
Curators — follow editorial tastemakers one way, no friend request needed
A feed of real signals: a friend ranked a place high, a curator dropped a new list

Your taste, organized

Lists, want-to-go, and a map of your own taste.

Every place you save and rank becomes a personal archive worth keeping — and a beautiful card worth sharing.

Build lists for any mood, keep a want-to-go shortlist for the next free evening, and watch your personal trust map fill in across the city. When a friend asks where to eat, you've already got the answer — and a share-ready card to send it.

Friends-only chat

Make the plan without leaving Gusto.

Private 1:1 and group messaging, just for friends — so “Where should we go?” turns into a plan in a few taps. Never public, never in the feed.

Drop a restaurant straight into the chat, send a “Shall we go?”, and decide together. Conversations stay between friends and stay off every public surface. It's the last step of the decision, built right in.

Privacy-first, by design

Your dining history is yours.

Gusto is private by default. Your logs are friends-only out of the box, and nothing private ever slips into the feed.

We don't ask for your contacts, location, or push permissions up front — you grant them later, in context, only if you want to. Sign in with Apple, choose what each log shows, and share only when you decide to. Trust is the whole product, so we treat it that way.

Logs are friends-only by default; choose private, friends, or public per place

No contacts, location, or push demands when you first open the app

Sign in with Apple — clean and private

Sharing always asks before it ever exposes anything private

Starting in Istanbul, invite by invite

Get an early seat at the table.

Gusto is launching neighborhood by neighborhood, starting in Kadıköy and across Istanbul. It's invite-driven — so the people in your feed are people whose taste you actually know.

The app isn't on the App Store just yet. Leave your email and we'll send your invite when your neighborhood opens up. No spam, no noise — just a heads-up when it's your turn.

No spam — one heads-up when your neighborhood opens.
