DishRizz · Menu Hunt

Menu Hunt: quest missing menus in your town. Earn free months.

DishRizz Menu Hunt is a game-like quest for Chicagoland high school and college students: pick your town, see restaurants still missing from the shared menu bank, go there, snap the menu, and add a short review of food you like. When GPS, OCR, and your confirmation match — and an approved new menu clears — you earn free-month credit.

Short answer — Menu Hunt in one breath

Generic “upload a menu” pages sound like homework. Menu Hunt is the Pokémon-card hunt vibe: collection quests for menus the bank still needs. You fill a real shared bank other students use at the table — and the same quest data helps DishRizz contact restaurants and send kids coupons to return. Both restaurant-contact and coupon-return loops are live product features.

The Pokémon-card hunt vibe (without overclaiming)

Town/location quests feel fun and social — collect the missing menus, not XP cosplay. We do not invent leaderboards, ranks, player counts, or hunt totals unless the product ships them. Edge vs dining games that sell vibes: DishRizz quests fill a shared menu bank tied to snap-to-order and free-month credit for approved NEW menus.

Ask town / location → see what’s missing

Set your town or campus area. DishRizz shows restaurants still missing from the bank. Already-in-bank menus and unreadable photos do not earn credit.

HS kids who can drive hunt locally

Chicagoland high school students who can drive, and college students, hunt nearby spots — a campus-adjacent place, a strip-mall restaurant you already know, a town you go to with friends. First audience is Chicagoland HS and college. Keep it ordinary: daylight, a plan, people who know where you are. A quest is a menu photo plus a short like-review. It is not a reason to drive somewhere unfamiliar alone late at night. The product can read a photographable menu beyond that first map; the audience we build for first is still Chicagoland.

What you do at the restaurant

1. Snap (or upload) a good photo of the menu.
2. Add a short review of food you like — useful for other kids and the live coupon-return loop.
3. Confirm “is this the restaurant?” when prompted.

GPS + OCR + approve = credit

Credit only after: GPS location check + OCR restaurant/menu match + kid confirm (“is this the restaurant?”) + optional website pull + Steve or the system approves a new menu. Optional website helps the match. It does not replace GPS, OCR, your confirm, or approval. Bad photos, unreadable menus, and menus already in the bank earn nothing. A quest you started is not credit until that new menu is approved.

Pricing and free-month math

DishRizz is $1.99 per month. Your first year is free if you get 12 approved NEW menus that aren’t already in the bank. Each approved new menu also earns +1 free month. Same locks as every DishRizz money page — no alternate offers. Accounting: hitting 12 unlocks a free year — not 24 months stacked.

Why your hunt matters (menu bank + restaurants + coupons)

Quest data helps three live outcomes:

1. Fill the shared Easy Lite menu bank so the next kid can order like a regular.
2. Contact restaurants — live loop.
3. Send kids coupons to return — live loop.

Restaurant contact and student coupons to return are live DishRizz features. Live does not mean we invent partnership counts, name restaurants that joined, or promise a coupon amount the night you snap. Credit is still for an approved new menu. A coupon is a return nudge, not proof every kitchen is a sponsor.

Soft foodie-ask after first liked dish

Not at signup. After you like a dish (on a hunt or any snap), DishRizz soft-asks: “Do you want to become a foodie? How do you want us to educate you?” If you say yes, the coach suggests similar foods, flags skips, and teaches pictures plus vocabulary at a high school / college level. That loop is described on order like a regular, palate match, and the full coach page learn to be a foodie.

What a weekend hunt feels like (Chicagoland)

Friday after school or after a lecture: you and a friend open Menu Hunt, set Evanston or Naperville or Pilsen, and see which spots are still missing from the bank. You drive or ride over, order something you actually want, snap a clean menu photo (flat, lit, readable), and jot a short note about the dish you liked — not a Yelp essay, just enough that the next kid knows it was worth trying. GPS + OCR + your confirm do the boring verification. When Steve or the system approves a NEW menu, you get the free-month credit.

That’s the flywheel: your hunt makes the next student’s snap-any-menu faster, and the same data powers live restaurant-contact plus coupons that bring kids back. No invented hunt counts. No fake leaderboard. Just missing menus and free months.

Credit rules in one place

• $1.99/mo at launch.
• 12 approved NEW menus unlock a free first year.
• Each approved new menu also earns +1 free month.
• Before credit: GPS + OCR match + kid confirm (+ optional website) + Steve/system approve.
• Dupes, blurry shots, and already-in-bank menus = no credit.

How Menu Hunt fits the DishRizz loop

Hunt fills the bank → snap at any table → palate picks → foodie coach after a like, on order like a regular. Menu Hunt is how students add missing menus for that same loop, not a separate game. College nights: college dining out. Date nights: HS date-night menus. Blank prompts vs review photos: DishRizz vs ChatGPT and Yelp Menu Vision.

What Menu Hunt is not

Not a kitchen guarantee (typical recipes ≠ what this kitchen serves). Not an allergy medical tool — allergens → NutNope; always confirm with staff. Not ODT / Roof / HFIA. Domain: dishrizz.com only. No invented ranks, traffic, or hunt counts. No tablet supplier, model, or unit costs.

Who it’s for (first 100)

Chicagoland high school + college students first. Campus GroupMe / Discord / FB and TikTok/Reels may spread hunt drops — this page stays answer-first for search. Soft identity: help the next kid order like a regular while you earn free months.
