Finding deals

Where do the deals come from?

We gather food freebies, coupons and deals that restaurants and deal sites post publicly, from restaurant websites, social media posts and news articles. Every deal links to where we found it.

Why don't I see any deals near me?

Try a bigger distance with the Distance slider in the Deals tab's filters (up to 100 miles), swipe to another day, or pull down to refresh. Local restaurant deals are only available in some cities so far, but we're adding more.

How do I change my location?

Tap the location button at the top of the screen (📍) and type a city, address or ZIP code, or use your current location. You can also turn location access on or off in your phone's settings.

How do the days work?

Each page is one day. Swipe left and right to go between days, from the past week to the week ahead. A deal shows on every day it's valid, and weekly specials show on their weekdays.

Using a deal

A deal didn't work at the restaurant. What happened?

Restaurants sometimes end deals early, limit them to participating locations, or require their app or rewards program. Check the deal's details and the original post before you go. If a deal shows a warning that its dates couldn't be confirmed, double-check with the restaurant. If it didn't work, give it a thumbs down and pick "Did not work". That warns other people and moves the deal down the list.

How do I use a promo code?

Open the deal and tap the code to copy it. Then paste it at checkout in the restaurant's app or website, or show it at the counter.

What do thumbs up and thumbs down do?

Votes help everyone find the best deals. The best-rated deals are listed first, and deals that didn't work drop to the bottom. After you vote, you can say why.

How do I save or hide a deal?

Open a deal and pin it to keep it handy, or mark it "Not interested" to hide it.

Deal alerts

How do deal alerts work?

On the You tab, enter a word or phrase (like "ice cream" or "pizza") and a city. When a new deal that matches shows up in that city, you'll get a notification. Deals that were already showing when you made the alert don't trigger one.

I'm not getting alert notifications.

Make sure notifications are allowed for hungry cat in your phone's settings. If they're off, the You tab shows a reminder you can tap to open Settings. Also check that your word or phrase matches how deals are usually written. A shorter phrase, like "taco" instead of "taco tuesday deals", catches more deals.

How do I delete an alert?

On the You tab, remove the alert from your list. It's deleted from our servers too.

Restaurants and businesses

I own a restaurant. Can I add a deal, or fix or remove one?

Yes. Email us with the details and a link to where the deal is posted, and we'll add or update it. If something about your business is wrong, or you'd like your logo or a deal removed, let us know and we'll take care of it quickly.

Privacy and your data

Do I need an account? What data do you keep?

No account is needed. Your location is used on your phone to find nearby deals. Only your votes and deal alerts are saved on our servers, under a random ID the app makes up. Read the full privacy policy.

How do I delete my data?

Deleting the app removes everything stored on your phone, and you can delete alerts in the app at any time. To have your votes removed from our servers, email us.
