Aclubforpeoplewhocook.

Post the dishes you make. Tag whoever was at the table. See what your friends are cooking tonight, save the ones you'd want to make, and remake the best ones in your own kitchen.

The point

For the dishes you'd make again — and the friends you'd cook with twice.

Most food apps are full of strangers and stars. Hotpot Club is about your people — the friends you actually cook with, the dinners you'd actually repeat. Snap the dish, rank where it lands, tag who was there. The whole process takes thirty seconds.

01 · Post

Snap the dish.

Open the camera, photograph the plate, give it a name. Everything else — notes, tags, where it ranks — is optional. Done in under thirty seconds and onto your friends' feeds.

02 · Rank

Place it, don't rate it.

No numbers, no stars. After posting, the app shows you a dish you've already made and asks which was better. A few taps later, the new one finds its spot — the way it would over a long dinner with a friend.

03 · Share

Tag the table.

Mark who you cooked with, or who you cooked for. They get the credit on their profile, and the dishes you made together live on both of yours.

A walk-through

Four steps from kitchen to a full cooking life.

i.

Shoot it.

The Post tab opens straight into the camera. One photo, one name — that's the whole post.

ii.

Rank it.

The app shows you a dish you've already made and asks which was better. A few taps and the new one slots into place.

iii.

Tag the table.

Cooked with someone? Cooked for them? Tag them. They get the credit, you get the memory, and the dish lives on both your profiles.

iv.

Pass it around.

Friends save the ones they want to try. Some come back with their own remake. Every dish gets a small life of its own.

We wanted the version of food that already lives in your family group chat — the dishes you actually made, the people who actually showed up to eat them, and a place to keep cooking together.

The good bits

Made for people who actually cook.

No algorithm

Your feed is your friends.

Posts from people you follow, in the order they happened. The app doesn't decide what's interesting — your friends do.

Yours to share

You pick who sees what.

Default to followers, lock the whole account down, or share a single dish with the world. Saved dishes stay yours alone.

Built-in time travel

The archive remembers.

Post a dish from last weekend and the app dates it correctly — pulled from the photo's original timestamp — so your profile reads as a real cooking history, not just a posting history.

By comparison

Your ranking writes itself.

After each post, the app shows you a dish you've already made and asks which was better. A few taps and the new one finds its place — no slider, no five-out-of-ten.

Open kitchen

Free on iPhone and Android. The more cooks you bring, the better the feed gets — so text your favorite people and show them what's for dinner tonight.
