EatWithMe

Problem Statement

In today's fast-paced world, despite the rapid advancement of various communication technologies and platforms, people, especially the younger generation, are struggling to meet and connect with others. In a recent Korean survey, out of over 21000 people surveyed, nearly 60% report that they were currently in danger of isolation, leading to worsening mental and physical health. This is doubly true for people living in densely populated cities like Seoul, and especially amongst professionals working in the tech industry.

“EatWithMe” aims to tackle this problem by enabling users to easily discover restaurants, create and join dining events, and connect with others in real-life settings. By facilitating these connections, “EatWithMe” promotes social bonding and fosters a sense of belonging through shared meals, helping combat social isolation.
