The restaurant you walked past
Tuesday you walk past a place that looks great. Friday you're eating there with Sam. Here's everything in between, and who did it.
01 · Tuesday, on the sidewalk
Two words on a post-it
You walk past a place on Court Street. Full room, good smell, no time. You open Junior and jot a post-it: Via Cesare.
Junior finds a restaurant by that name in its New York places and puts a small Want to go? beside it.

02 · Tuesday night
One tap, and it's yours
Tap Want to go?. Junior shows the card it found among 67,000 New York places: what it is, the street and neighborhood, the full address and the website. Nothing is saved until you say Looks right.
Want to go is already ticked. Press Save and Via Cesare is in your places, on your Want to go list, and the post-it is marked done.


03 · Thursday
On Friday's shortlist
Friday dinner with Sam is a plan, still a draft. Press + Add a place on it and pick Via Cesare.
It joins the shortlist marked Added by you, next to the options Junior drafted with a web search.

04 · Friday
Dinner, on the calendar
Push the plan to your calendar. On the dinner, add Via Cesare as the place and Sam as who's coming.
Set Remind me to 2 hours before. The reminder comes in Junior and by email.

05 · After
Rate it the way you'd tell a friend
Rate Via Cesare by food, service, atmosphere and value, in half stars. Skip any you don't have a view on. The overall is their average, never a number you type.
Once five other people have rated a place, a Junior score shows beside yours. Your own rating isn't counted in it.

06 · Later
Right where you'll look for it
Via Cesare stays in your places. If you keep a guide for Cobble Hill or Brooklyn, it's there under Restaurants with the rest.
And Sam's page shows Friday dinner, because Sam was on it.

- Remember the name until you got home.
- Look up the address, or the website.
- Paste a link into a notes app you'll never open again.
- Text yourself to book something on Friday.
- Write down who you went with, or when.
Via Cesare, Sam and every screen above are invented examples on real Junior screens. Guides and Plans are apps you turn on inside Junior.
