FAQ

Questions, answered

How many photos can I add to a review?

Up to three photos per review. We keep it lean so the feed feels like a conversation, not a portfolio.

How does dish matching work?

When you pick a restaurant in the composer, search is scoped to that restaurant's menu. No stray matches from a different spot.

Do check-ins earn Kernels separately from reviews?

Yes. Check-ins give you presence Kernels; reviews give you contribution Kernels; helpful comments give you network Kernels. Totals decide your tier.

Can I edit a review later?

Yes — edit text, rating, photos, or remove it entirely. We keep the original reaction counts so your tastemaker status stays intact.
