GoDysh Receives Patent for Dish-Discovery, Delivery Software

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has granted San Francisco Bay area-based GoDysh Inc. patent number 11182815 that covers "Methods and Apparatus for Dish Ratings and Management System." The patent applies to GoDysh's offering of authenticated user ratings and reviews, enabling diners to view, compare and order customer-favorite dishes within a 45-mile radius.

For both restaurant and hotel customers, quality of service (as reflected in positive online reviews) remains a higher priority than technology features, reinforcing that the “human touch” is still at the heart of the hospitality industry, according to HT's 2021 Customer Engagement Technology Study.

GoDysh helps users discover new restaurants and dishes with its "dish discovery" platform with delivery and pick-up options throughout a city and suburbs. The Dish-rating and Management (DRM) software works in a "closed-loop" manner with users to build and grow a database of dishes and their ratings. Only authenticated users are able to rate and review dishes. They are then rewarded for providing reviews, incentivizing them to continue using the service, thus generating more "dish level" reviews for the restaurants on the platform. Users can then place delivery or pick-up orders, eliminating the need for multiple apps for search and order inputs.

Prior to receiving the patent, GoDysh completed a pilot program and six months of testing in November 2021. The pilot program provided an initial version of the app to diners in the South and East San Francisco Bay area.

GoDysh Inc. is currently working to develop additional in-app capabilities, allowing users to make well-informed and cost-effective choices.
