Urbanspoon was a pioneering, Seattle-founded restaurant discovery platform known for its "shake-to-search" feature, which was acquired and subsequently rebranded by Zomato in 2015. The transition replaced Urbanspoon's binary voting system with Zomato's 5-point scale and removed iconic features like the "Slot Machine" to align with a new hyperlocal focus.
