Case studies with screens, stacks, and outcomes

Maps, feed, and restaurant profiles

Intent: Gusto helps people find places worth eating through maps, friends, and dish photos, without another generic ratings wall. Star averages hide whether a place fits your crowd. Discovery should be shaped by taste and people you follow, with a map you can browse and photos that show the plate. That means a social loop that still feels fast on mobile: posts, reviews, notifications, and profiles that stay useful when you are already standing on a sidewalk deciding where to walk next. Web sits alongside for browsing, but the core experience is built for phones in the wild. Hospitality discovery fails when every place looks the same on a star list. Gusto bets on social proof you can inspect: who posted, what the plate looked like, and where it sits on the map. The product should feel useful while you are already outside, not only when you are planning from a desk. Friends and photos are the ranking signal the product wants to earn. Maps provide place and distance. Together they answer "where should we eat" with more than a cold average score.

Gusto is a social food discovery app. Users explore restaurants on maps, post dish photos, read community reviews, and follow a feed shaped by taste and friends.
