Restaurant Buddy is a simple, private place to remember the restaurants you visit, what you ordered and what you thought.

Getting started

1. Add a restaurant from the Home screen, either manually or from Nearby results.
2. Open the restaurant and add a visit.
3. Record dishes or drinks, ratings, notes, photos and the bill.
4. Use Order again, Avoid and Menu Memory to make your next visit easier.

Your data

Restaurant Buddy is local-first. Your restaurants, visits, notes, ratings and photos are stored on your device, not in a Restaurant Buddy account.

Backup and restore

Open Settings → Backup & restore to create a portable backup of your library and preferences. Save it somewhere you trust, such as iCloud Drive or Files.

Restoring a backup replaces the current Restaurant Buddy library and preferences on that device. If you are changing phones or deleting the app, create and keep a backup first.

Photos and storage

Restaurant Buddy automatically creates space-efficient copies of new photos. In Settings → Photos, you can see photo storage, optimise existing photos or delete all photos while keeping your restaurant history, ratings and notes.

Nearby places, websites and directions

Location access is optional. It is used only while you are using the Nearby feature to show restaurants around you. You can still add restaurants manually if you decline location access.

Website and Directions buttons open the relevant website or Maps app outside Restaurant Buddy.
