Terms of use
KiND Social · Last updated 6 October 2026
Who you are agreeing with
Saucer is operated by KiND Social, a sole proprietorship in Sevier County, Tennessee. "We" and "us" mean KiND Social; "you" means whoever is using Saucer. By using Saucer you accept these terms. If you do not, don't use it.
You must be at least 13 to have an account.
What Saucer is
Saucer is a showcase of restaurant food, photographed by the people eating it. It is not a review site. There is no rating, no score and no average — the only signal is that somebody liked a photograph. Nothing on Saucer is a recommendation by us, a statement about food safety, or a claim about a restaurant's quality.
Your account
One account per person. Keep it to yourself — anything done with it is treated as done by you. Pick a handle that is not somebody else's name, a brand you have nothing to do with, or an attempt to look like a restaurant you do not run.
Posting
- You have to be there. A plate can only be posted from inside the restaurant it belongs to. Faking that, by any means, is a reason to lose the account.
- It has to be food you were served. Not a stock photograph, not somebody else's picture, not food from somewhere else.
- Every photograph is checked before it posts, automatically. If it is not food, it does not go up.
- Nothing illegal, nothing that identifies other diners or staff who did not agree to it, nothing designed to harass a person or a business, and nothing you do not have the right to post.
- There are limits on how much one account can post in an hour, a day, and at one restaurant in a day. They are set so a long meal never meets them and a flood always does.
Your photographs
You are responsible for what you post, and you confirm you have the right to post it.
To the fullest extent the law allows, you assign to KiND Social the rights in each photograph, caption and comment you post to Saucer. Where that assignment is not effective, you instead grant KiND Social a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable licence to host, store, reproduce, display, adapt and promote it, on Saucer and in material about Saucer. You waive any moral rights to the extent the law allows. Your name or handle stays with it.
We can take anything down, at any time, with or without a reason. We are not obliged to keep anything, to keep it available, or to keep a copy.
Likes, comments and reports
Comments are public and carry your handle. Keep them about the food. Anyone can report a plate; reports are private and nobody — not even the person who posted the plate — is told who filed one. Enough reports hides a plate automatically until a person has looked at it. A plate that a restaurant is paying to run cannot be reported: the restaurant chose it.
What a restaurant can do with its own page
A restaurant that has claimed its page can take a plate down from that page if the plate has no likes, build its menu out of the plates posted there, and sponsor a plate. It cannot edit a diner's caption, cannot remove a plate people have liked, and is never given a list of its diners.
Anyone signed in may save a plate and share it anywhere they like, as published, with the badge intact — including a restaurant posting its own plates on its own social media, its website or a flyer. That is free.
What you may not do is take the badge off. You may not remove, crop out, blur, cover or otherwise obscure it, and you may not pass off an altered copy as the published one. The photographs are licensed to us, not to the restaurant: claiming a page lets a restaurant show those plates on Saucer and share the badged copies, and nothing more.
Restaurant pages, and paying for one
- A page is a yearly subscription, paid through Stripe. The price is shown before you pay. Card details go to Stripe, never to us.
- It renews automatically each year at the price you paid, until it is stopped. To stop it, email 13rt.com@gmail.com and we will end the subscription. You keep the page until the year you have paid for runs out.
- Payments already made are not refunded, except where the law requires it.
- Before the payment link appears we check that the restaurant is a real place. That is the only thing checked, and it is the only reason a claim is refused — being approved does not make the page yours. Paying does.
- Claiming a page is a statement that you are entitled to represent that business. A false claim costs the page, the money and the account.
- The listing itself is ours, not yours. A restaurant that stops paying keeps its listing and its plates; what stops is control of the page. An account that runs a page cannot be deleted, because the page carries money, a menu and discount codes attributed to it.
Discounts and sponsored plates
When a restaurant sponsors a plate it can attach a discount, set what it is worth, set when it expires and set how many people may claim it. The discount is an offer by the restaurant, honoured at the restaurant. Saucer records the code and shows it to you; we are not a party to the offer, we do not hold the money, and we cannot make a restaurant honour one. If a restaurant refuses a valid code, tell us and we will look at the page — but your claim is against the restaurant.
One code per person per offer. Codes are not transferable for value, not redeemable for cash, and expire when the restaurant said they do.
Don't break it
No scraping, crawling, bulk downloading or automated access. No attempting to read data you were not given, no probing or overloading the service, and no using Saucer to build a competing dataset. No impersonating a restaurant or a person.
Ending it
You can delete your account from the menu, on the terms described above and in the privacy page. We can suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, and we can stop running Saucer at any time.
No warranty
Saucer is provided as it is. We do not promise it will be available, accurate, uninterrupted, or free of mistakes. Restaurant listings come partly from public map data and may be wrong, closed or misplaced. Photographs are posted by other people and are not checked by us for accuracy — only that they are food.
Limits on what we owe you
To the extent the law allows, KiND Social is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost data, or anything arising from another user's conduct, a restaurant's conduct, or a discount not being honoured. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us in the previous twelve months. Nothing here excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
If what you post costs us something — a claim, a complaint, a legal demand — you cover it.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, United States, and the courts of Sevier County, Tennessee have jurisdiction, without affecting any right you have to bring a claim where you live.
Changes
We can change these terms. If a change matters, the date at the top changes and we say so in the app. Using Saucer after that means the new terms apply.
Where the map data comes from
Restaurant names, addresses, towns and map pins on Saucer come from OpenStreetMap — © OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence. We also look up the town and country of a restaurant from its coordinates using OpenStreetMap's Nominatim service. A listing may therefore be incomplete or out of date; anyone can correct a Saucer page's details by adding the restaurant again from inside it, and OpenStreetMap itself can be corrected by anybody.
