- Rate the soup you had at a restaurant

Competitive notes
Yelp: “Soup” returns many restaurants, but you still dig through menus to find a warm bowl — Soupape surfaces warm bowls directly.
Google Maps: Similar map model, but only “soup” dishes the app recognizes — icons show which dish each place offers.
