Problem Definition Families often face stress and wasted time when trying to find a suitable place to eat out, especially when catering to the needs of babies, toddlers and young children. Current restaurant platforms fail to provide the specific filters and trustworthy reviews parents need - like pram access, child-friendly menus, clean facilities and welcoming environments - resulting in poor experiences, unnecessary costs, or repetitive visits to the same few restaurants. "We ended up somewhere with no kids' menu and no space for the pram - nightmare!" The Solution The Nugget is a purpose-built app that helps families quickly and confidently find dining spots that suit their specific needs, whether it’s a café with high chairs and buggy access or a restaurant with space for energetic toddlers. By combining detailed filters, real parent reviews and curated restaurant insights, The Nugget removes the guesswork from eating out with children. The platform is designed to save time, reduce stress and make family dining more fun, accessible, and inclusive - turning everyday outings into smoother, more joyful experiences.

500+ restaurants joined within the first month, reflecting strong demand and early traction. The app quickly positioned itself as a trusted, parent-powered alternative to generic discovery tools.
