The MenuVybe Guide

Everything the app can do, in plain English

Start here

MenuVybe rates plates, not places. This page explains every part of that — how to log, how the scale works, what earns XP, what each badge takes, how hacks and surveys work, and what a restaurant gets out of it. Tap any question to open it.

Getting started

The whole ritual is about twenty seconds a meal. Here is what those seconds look like.

Earning XP and ranks

Every action has a fixed, guessable value. No hidden multipliers except one — the Founder Badge.

Badges

Tap any badge below to see the full detail card — the art, the exact criteria, when it was earned and how rare it is.

Food hacks

Insider knowledge — the way locals actually order. Not the same thing as a personal preference.

Surveys

The optional popup after a rating. Four taps, ten seconds — and the single most valuable thing you can give a restaurant.

For restaurants

What an owner gets, what it costs, and how to take control of a page that already has diner data on it.

Community

Following is about trust, not popularity. You follow the palates that match yours.

The Founder Badge window is open

This one is time-limited and it is not coming back. Read this section if you read nothing else.
