city-board reset
Taking #1 costs at least $5 more than whoever is there now. Paying less still puts you on the board at the rank that bid can hold. City boards last the calendar year and reset on 1 January. The World board never resets. Before a city reset we snapshot it into a public Year Review.
Who it’s for
Foodies looking for the best places to eat and drink in major cities. Restaurant owners, café operators, and food-business marketers who want a public #1. Curious diners who want to see who is willing to pay to be first. No account is required to bid — Stripe checkout is enough. Listings have to be real eating and drinking businesses on their own websites.
The board is here. Same rules. Same idea. Rank is the bid — nothing else.
