About this app

Punto Jar is the app that guides you through the local beer scene.

You take a mini-survey, mark your favorite styles, check in by scanning a QR code at establishments, and with each visit, you unlock more precise recommendations, personalized routes, XP, levels, and streaks.

If you own a bar or restaurant, Punto Jar helps you upload your menu, highlight specialties, generate check-in QR codes, and attract customers who truly appreciate well-made beer.

⚙️ How does it work?
The recommendation engine uses:

Declared preferences (your initial survey and profile settings).

Actual behavior (QR check-ins, frequency, streaks, areas you visit).

Context (your approximate location to show you nearby options).

With this information, the app prioritizes venues and styles that match your taste, suggests a convenient route, and adjusts what you see first. For venues, the algorithm matches your offerings with users who are likely to enjoy them.

🎯 Benefits:
Consumer: “Find your next favorite beer just minutes away, without wasting time.”

Owner: “Appear in front of those who want what you serve, and turn visits into loyal customers.”
