Zendaya and Tom Holland Use Restaurant-Tracking App Beli

Zendaya and Tom Holland, now married, have been using the restaurant-tracking app Beli during their promotional tours for upcoming films The Odyssey and Spider-Man: Brand New Day. Holland revealed on the Dish podcast that Zendaya introduced him to the app, calling it "new social media for restaurants and food." He praised her adventurous palate, saying she always knows the best spots. Beli, built by Harvard Business School graduates, allows users to track, rate, and review restaurants with friends, and has been dubbed the Gen Z Yelp, reportedly overtaking Yelp among young diners. The app is invite-only and offers features like seeing friends' reviews and photos, and notifying when mutual friends want to try a restaurant. Users appreciate its private, non-public nature, avoiding potential impact on restaurant business. Some drawbacks include needing to invite friends to unlock features like dish search. The app fosters intimacy and vulnerability, serving as a collective diary of restaurant experiences, and can even spark friendships, as with one user reconnecting with a blocked Hinge date. Users enjoy seeing couples' differing perspectives on meals. The author expresses curiosity about Zendaya and Holland's reviews, though they are likely private.
