Our Mission
duFoodie is on a mission to connect food lovers with the best dining experiences in the UAE. We believe that finding great food should be easy, enjoyable, and based on trusted recommendations enhanced by the power of artificial intelligence.
Our Founder's Story
duFoodie was born from real-life frustration. Our founders, a husband and wife team, loved exploring Dubai's vibrant food scene but faced a common problem: the disconnect between discovering restaurants on social media and actually using that information when needed.
The Problems They Faced:
- Scattered Information: Restaurant recommendations were spread across countless Instagram posts with no easy way to search or filter them
- Lost Discoveries: After seeing an appealing restaurant on Instagram, they'd often forget about it when actually deciding where to eat
- Missing Context: Basic information like location, cuisine type, or how to get there was often missing from social posts
- Sharing Difficulty: No simple way to share curated recommendations with friends and family
One evening, after spending nearly an hour scrolling through Instagram trying to remember "that one place" an influencer had recommended, they had their eureka moment: "What if we could build a platform that organizes all these recommendations in one searchable place?"
With a vision to bridge the gap between social media discovery and practical dining decisions, they set out to create duFoodie—a solution that would help not just themselves, but everyone in the UAE who loves food and wants to discover the best places to eat based on trusted recommendations.
