Support transparency
Support keeps Route Eats independent.
Route Eats support is not restaurant advertising. It does not buy restaurant exposure, ranking, verification bypasses, place boosts, or better treatment on the public map.
First
Servers, maps, storage, and basic infrastructure
Second
Data collection, public source review, and candidate verification
Third
Moderation, privacy review, and worker attestation operations
Then
Surplus support is intended for field-worker welfare efforts
Current status
Support is not currently presented as a tax-deductible charitable donation. As the program matures, Route Eats should publish plain-language updates about operating costs, verification work, and any surplus support directed toward people who work on the road.
