What Is Your Food Fingerprint?
Taste, dietary needs, budget, and a hard distance cap. That profile is how Yulai curates every recommendation for you.

You do not eat like your best friend
You can agree on every movie and still crave completely different food on a Saturday night. Taste is shaped by childhood staples, past travels, dietary restrictions, budget, and whatever mood strikes tonight. Yet most map apps still treat your palate like everyone else's.
Meet your Food Fingerprint
A Food Fingerprint is your personal dining profile. It combines your flavor preferences, dietary requirements, price comfort zone, and travel radius.
Setting it up takes less than a minute: answer a few quick questions about preferred cuisines, spice tolerance, restrictions, and how far you are willing to travel. That is all Yulai needs to rank nearby tables on night one. From there, it continuously adapts. Every save, skip, visit, and review sharpens your profile. It is an evolving taste model, not a static onboarding quiz.
Ranked for your palate, not the crowd
Forget generic five-star averages. You get a feed tailored to how you actually eat. The restaurant at the top of your list is there because it aligns with your taste.
Distance works as a firm boundary, not a variable score. If a spot is beyond your radius, it is cut. If it is within reach, it still has to clear every other bar: flavor, diet, and budget.
Group dinners without the popularity contest
Dining with conflicting tastes usually ends in a compromised, mediocre meal. With Yulai, groups can match their profiles simultaneously. The result is a vetted restaurant that genuinely satisfies the whole table, complete with clear reasons why it works for everyone.
Your data stays on your side of the table
Restaurants never see your personal profile. Your dining data exists solely to find you better food, not to fuel targeted advertising. Any insights shared with partners are fully anonymized and aggregated at the city level.
