APP

For people with disabilities, parents with strollers, senior citizens and their families and friends, it has always been a headache when it comes to finding a friendly restaurant in the city. Our app offers ranking information of some 500+ friendly restaurants in Taipei, including detailed description and clear on-site photos of the restaurants’ entrance, environment, tables, chairs, toilets, parking spaces, braille and assisting services.

The friendly information is collected and evaluated by our 50 Love Correspondents, who are volunteers with various physical disabilities, such as spinal cord injury, cerebral palsy, polio, and those with visual or hearing problems. In cooperation with the Taiwan Handicap Alliance, we recruited and trained these real-life experts in friendly environment and services. Then they use our cloud platform and smart mobile tool to investigate restaurants and to publish their firsthand dining experience in the app.

Most important of all, we saw and continue seeing wonderful changes in our 50 Love Correspondents. Through recruiting and training, we encouraged and inspired them with new experiences in life and in career. Through their services, “those who need help” dramatically became “those who can help” for the obvious fact that no one knows the needs of the “senior citizens with disabilities” better than they do.

“OurCityLove Friendly Restaurants Taipei” is an innovative social ACT rather than merely an APP. It endows the smartphone technology new possibilities of initiating positive citizenship and of the pursuit of happiness in the rapidly aging society. We are currently improving our cloud platform to include more friendly services, such as friendly banks, resorts, hotels and other public facilities. We hope to extend our services to more cities, sooner rather than later.
