Where we're headed
The HalalNearby roadmap
A halal trust & discovery platform, built in the open. Here's what's live in the product today — and the revenue, growth, and expansion work lined up next.
Live today
Shipped & runningThe core experience is in your hands right now — trust, discovery, and the operational tooling to keep it accurate.
Halal confidence ledger
Every listing carries a confidence level — Verified Halal, Owner-reported, Muslim-friendly, or Needs verification — each with its source and last-checked date. No false certainty.
Search, filters & near-me
Full-text and cuisine search, distance-aware “near me” results, and deterministic ranking — the strongest, most-trusted matches first, never a random shuffle.
Rich restaurant pages
Hours, known-for dishes, price range, delivery/takeout, links, and photos — enough to plan a meal, not just drop a pin on a map.
City & cuisine guides
Curated, SEO-ready landing pages for every city and cuisine — the organic-discovery engine that brings diners in without paid ads.
Sources & report-an-issue
Each halal claim shows where it came from, and anyone can flag something that's wrong or confirm it's still accurate in one tap.
Saved places
Diners can save the spots they trust and come back to them across the site.
Newsletter sign-up
We're already capturing subscribers — new listings, newly verified kitchens, and city guides, straight to the inbox.
Admin data-health console
The internal cockpit for keeping ~1,400 listings honest — a work queue that surfaces stale, incomplete, or unverified pages before a diner ever sees them.
Coming next
Sequenced, not simultaneous — depth over breadth.The foundations for each of these already sit in the schema and infrastructure. The work ahead is turning them on, in the order that compounds.
Restaurant owner dashboard
Owners claim their page, keep hours and halal details correct, respond to reports, and enrich their listing — turning the directory into a two-sided platform.
Sponsored & featured placements
Clearly-labelled promotion for restaurants that want reach — never dressed up as a verified halal claim. The first direct revenue line.
Growth & newsletter engine
Segmented campaigns, tracked links, and open/click analytics on top of the subscriber list we're already building — retention and re-engagement at scale.
Community reviews & confirmations
Structured, halal-aware community input — confirm what's still accurate, dispute what's changed — the moat that keeps the ledger current as we grow.
Japan & Korea expansion
The data model is region-aware from day one. East Asia splits halal into distinct attributes — certified, Muslim-friendly, no-pork, prayer space — and the platform is already built to carry them.
Mobile apps
Native iOS/Android for on-the-go discovery, once the web experience and the data are proven in-market.
Building the most trusted halal guide, one verified page at a time.
