Beat the Buffet! turns every all-you-can-eat visit into a game.
Snap a photo of your plate and get instant AI-powered calorie and cost estimates — no manual logging, no guesswork. See exactly how many calories you ate, what it cost per dollar, and how your visit stacks up.
DISCOVER NEARBY BUFFETS
Browse real buffets near you with community stats — average calories, cost per visit, and ratings from other users.
SCAN YOUR PLATE
Point your camera at your plate and let AI identify every dish, estimate calories, and calculate your cost. Add multiple plates across your visit and get a full session summary when you're done.
COMPETE WITH FRIENDS
Add friends, see their buffet visits in the Feed, and compare stats on the leaderboard. Who got the most value? Who ate the most? Now you'll know.
GROUP MODE
Scan together in real time. Start a group session, share the code with your table, and watch everyone's plates appear on a live leaderboard.
TRACK YOUR HISTORY
Every visit is saved — calories, cost, plates, and more. Review your history and see your stats grow over time.
