Yelp is long overdue for disruption. The experience for the user is subpar, no longer maintaining a shred of rating integrity for restaurants. User's can no longer trust the source to provide an accurate assessment of quality food. Additionally, the business model is reminiscent of 1950s mafia practices, shaking down local restaurants for money to remove the "bad" reviews.
Eat Seattle is a new kind of restaurant, binary in quality and aimed at the user exerience. No more ratings, if you serve great food you're in, else you're out. Users don't have to concern themselves with reviews, if it's on eatseattle.surge.sh, they can trust it's going to be good. Additionally, users can maintain their own private list of restaurants they want to check and which ones really blew them away.
