About Planets

Route Eats by Planets helps people find food spots from people who know the road. It starts with public mentions, community tips, receipts, private worker verification, and Maps handoff, then improves as the trust layer gets stronger city by city.

The problem

Local search gives people too many options and too little source context. Reviews can be noisy, sponsored, outdated, manipulated, or written by people with different needs. The real question is often not what is nearby, but who would actually know this place, why they would know it, and what was verified.

How Planets works

A place can start as a public mention, community tip, worker submission, or receipt-backed signal. Worker-claimed submissions use private verification, while public cards show only safe labels such as Work email checked, Private proof reviewed, or Receipt-backed. During the MVP, navigation opens in Google Maps or Apple Maps.

What makes Planets different

• Source first — each place should explain who surfaced it, why they would know, and what was verified.
• Map handoff — Planets decides the experience, then lets Google Maps or Apple Maps handle navigation.
• Receipt log — receipts become private spending memory, taste memory, and receipt-backed local data.
• No paid ranking — optional support funds operations, not recommendation placement.
• Trust ladder — public mention, worker-submitted, work email checked, private proof reviewed, and receipt-backed are separate states.

MVP scope

The current MVP is map-first: Route Eats map, worker-signal submissions, private verification, receipt logging, source explanations, roadtrip route packs, and Maps handoff. In-app turn-by-turn navigation, Android Auto, CarPlay, and vehicle integrations are later-stage work.
