Building Status


Today we completed development of User Status Levels. User Status is important because Menupolitan wants to display the very best things to eat, not just what's popular. As you demonstrate knowledge of local food, you'll move up in User Status. The more status you earn, the greater weight we give your input and contributions. User Status is one of the main methods we'll use to make sure the best items get to the top of the Menu. While there are many aspects to building status including the quantity of items you submit and vote on, the quality of your votes and contributions matters more than anything.

This also means we're ready to start reaching out to Portland's established food critics to ask for help building out the menu of Portland's best meals. If you're a local foodie or pdx food blogger, send us an email: team (at) menupolitan.com. If you do, we'll confirm your identity as a local food expert and manually assign you extra status.

Building status on Menupolitan will help you build personal exposure for your own website or blog. It'll also give you greater influence on Menupolitan and, in time, translate to real-world rewards and free meals. We'll talk more about this soon, stay tuned. In the meantime, start building your User Status on Menupolitan!
