Hi,

I have recently launched to Find Nearby Food Delivery Stores in US. Lists of top restaurants, cafes, pubs, and bars in America, based on trends.

MenuMy helps you find the full menu items for your favorite stores in your City.

You can find list of all stores based on State, City and Zipcode wise. We have covered most of US store here.

Looking for some feedback.

The terminology is a bit strange to me as an American. "Food stores" sounds like you're talking about grocery stores/supermarkets/butchers/bakeries/etc., not restaurants. Calling a restaurant a "store" sounds odd.

I would just go ahead and substitute the word "restaurant" in most places.

They include stores in my area, like rite-aid and Walgreens as well as grocery stores like Safeway.

There’s also entries for a place called “Pizza” that seems to be a combined menu of three local pizza places.

We have grocery and other stores too as you mentioned, just not restaurants :) we will soon add filter to differentiate them.

The title dropped the Delivery.

That's a non-standard use of the term "food store." Kroger is a food store, Qdoba is a restaurant. And it's a bit misleading to show a photo of some other restaurant's food. I would expect the photo to show food from that restaurant, not from a different restaurant. It's pretty annoying that there are only nine listings on each page. And no way to sort. Or skip to a particular page.

Thanks for pointing that out. We are still working on image part and it will be available soon with the actual store images :)

Something that would be REALLY useful would be to have indications of food allergy ingredients found in the menus of restaurants. It's really disappointing to hear about a great restaurant, and then find out that they have something that causes severe[1] reactions on the menu and so we can't go there.

There are several lists of common allergens on the web. There are enough that perhaps it would be better to let you specify the ones you care about, and either mark them prominently, or just don't show them.

1. By "severe" I mean that someone who got even a small fraction of, e.g., a peanut could die from anaphylactic shock. It's real.

Why can't I search by restaurant name / type? It's just an endless list of restaurants in my zip code?

And why can't I search by food? Like show me all the restaurants near me with tacos. That would be useful.

Prices formatted incorrectly: $1.5 should be $1.50

None of the footer links work: About Us, Developers, etc.

Thanks for the valuable feedback, we are still working on that. "Search by store name, food name, and footer links" will be available soon :)

Price formatting has been fixed :)

After entering my zipcode, it correctly placed me in Harvard Massachusetts, but then showed me promoted listings for places in Harvard, Illinois.

I was wondering why I saw several listings I was not familiar with.

Thanks for pointing that out - It was there by mistake - It has been removed.

Those stores are basically you never found but exists in your zipcode :) You have location label on each store, you can go and visit or call them to verify, if they are available in your area :)

The price for a Pepperoni Flatbread Pizza at Panera Bread on your website says $14.3, but Panera's official mobile app says its $10.49. Why is there a price difference?

Thanks for pointing that out - I will be adding more serverless code for instant price update.

My guess is you're pulling data from food delivery companies, which mark up prices on food items alongside charging a delivery fee.

Some Items CANNOT be delivered and are not available in restaurants.

That plug here doesn't make any sense

An indication of how many pages are in the result list would be nice, instead of just Next and Prev buttons. "Page x of y" sort of thing.

Since the numbers are near millions, we have switched it back to prev, next and will replace it by infinite loading

Millions of stores in a given zip code?

I tried it for one of the towns closest to me and only got the McDonald's. It's accurate, but there are far more restaurants than that.

If possible can you share your zipcode or city to us via email: "info" to our domain "menumy.com" and we will get your city's as much stores as possible.

Thanks

Prices seem to be wrong. Like the data is pulled from some more populous location and superimposed on every branch of the chain.

Thanks for pointing that out, they are pulled from each chain, but I will add few more serverless code to get instant price update :)

You include an address and a phone number. Why did you choose to not include a link to their website?

Thanks for pointing that out, we are still working on that part to show website as well as map.

Thanks

I'm impressed by the coverage that it has over my local area.

Not me. Lots missing and multiple that are long gone.

Out of millions, we have covered 85% of it, Soon you will see them all :)

Thanks

please share any other feedback as well, you would like to see in an app.

Can you share this dataset in an excel or other export?

It needs a map with all the options laid out on the map

very soon :)
