Frequently asked questions

Bon Manger is a place to save, organise and share the restaurants, cafés and bars that interest you.

Keep the places you discover through social media, websites, friends and everyday conversations together, so you can find them when you are ready to go.

Bon Manger does not decide where you should eat. It helps you organise the places that interest you.

These might come from food creators, friends, articles, social media or your own experiences. Bon Manger gives you one place to save them, remember why they caught your attention and find them again when you need them.

No. You can save restaurants, cafés and bars anywhere in the world, making Bon Manger useful for everyday dining as well as future travel.

Yes. Bon Manger is available through both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

You can save places you discover through Instagram, TikTok and websites, bringing recommendations from different sources into one organised collection.

Find the venue on Instagram, TikTok or its website, then save the post or information that appeals to you.

This helps you remember both the venue and exactly why you wanted to visit.

Choose the location you want by checking the suburb or address before saving. Each location can be saved separately, which is helpful when different branches suit different areas, plans or occasions.

Bon Manger will recognise when you already have a place saved. You can open the existing place, add the new save as a dish at that venue or discard the new copy.

Your original saved place will remain in your library. Your choice only affects the new copy.

Occasionally, the information linked to a venue may not be completely accurate. Open the saved place and edit the name, address or other details so they reflect the location you intended to save.

There are two ways to save a dish:

1. If the venue is already saved, choose Dish when saving. Enter the dish and venue names, and Bon Manger will find the venue in your saved places and add the image to its profile.
2. If the venue is not saved yet, save the place first. Once it appears in your library, open its profile and add the dish.

Create a shared list and invite everyone to contribute their ideas. The group can keep all the options together, making it easier to compare places and decide where to go.

It works for birthday dinners, catch-ups, date nights, work events, holidays and any occasion where choosing the venue becomes a group discussion.
