Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use 8it to track these dishes at Gasthaus Quell?

Once you download the app, you can search for Gasthaus Quell directly or browse it on the map-based view. Each dish appears as a Dish Card that shows what was recommended, who recommended it, and a link to the original source. From there, you tap the bookmark button to save any dish to a personal list so it is ready when you are heading out.

Can I add Gasthaus Quell recommendations to a shareable list?

Yes. 8it’s list-making feature lets you save dishes from any restaurant, including all four Gasthaus Quell items above, into named lists that you can share directly with friends. It offers a practical way to send a ready-made order guide instead of forwarding screenshots or links from multiple sources.

Does 8it show only critic-approved items or also limited-time offerings?

8it covers both. The platform includes standing menu items that have been positively flagged by vetted critics, as well as time-sensitive offerings like pop-ups, drops, and collaborations. For limited-time events, the app includes an Add to Calendar feature so you do not miss a window. Every item on the platform, whether permanent or temporary, has been recommended by a trusted source before it appears.

How does 8it reduce the need to cross-reference multiple sources?

The app consolidates recommendations from professional food media, local chefs, and industry professionals into a single map-based interface. Instead of toggling between Instagram, TikTok, review sites, and food media articles to piece together what is worth ordering, 8it surfaces only the dishes that have already cleared a vetting process. The result is a single place to check before you eat, rather than a research project.
