how we do it.

  1. 01

    ask the restaurant

    We ask the staff. We trace every brand they use, every supplier behind every dish, and how they prepare things in-house.

  2. 02

    build the ingredient list

    Every food component — chicken, sauce, rice. Every ingredient inside. Each named, each with a one-line description of what it actually is.

  3. 03

    score what's in it

    Red for industrial, amber for refined, green for real food. The score follows from what's actually there.

questions.

01 what does crude actually do?
crude surfaces the real food near you, wherever you are — the best things to eat at the restaurants around you, ranked by what's actually in them. We dig out the full ingredient list for every menu item we cover, split each dish into the food components a human would recognise (chicken, sauce, rice), and score it 0–100 on what's inside. You see every ingredient, colour-coded, with a one-line description. A research tool you check before you order — not a diet app you log into after.
02 how is the score calculated?
Every ingredient in a dish gets a colour: red for industrial (additives, fillers, refined oils, modified starches), amber for refined-but-clean, green for real food. The score follows from what's actually there — the more red and amber, the lower it scores. That's how the dishes near you get ranked. The full rubric, including how individual ingredients are classified, lives in the app.
03 where do you get the data?
Restaurant allergen sheets, full ingredient lists, verified sourcing pages and supplier disclosures — read by hand, item by item. When something isn't disclosed, we say so on the item. We don't fill gaps with guesses.
04 how much does it cost?
£49.99 a year. One subscription, no upsells, no ads. We charge you so we don't have to take money from the chains we score — that conflict of interest is the whole reason crude exists.
05 which restaurants are covered?
We cover the chains and restaurants around you, city by city, and add more every week. Open the app and you see what's actually worth eating nearby — ranked. If a restaurant you want isn't in yet, you can flag it from inside, and that's how we decide where to go next.
06 where is crude available?
We're rolling out city by city, worldwide. The scoring rubric is geography-agnostic — real food is real food anywhere — so as we map the restaurants in each new place, crude lights up there too. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you the moment it covers the food near you.
07 how is this different from Yuka or calorie apps?
Yuka rates packaged supermarket goods. Calorie apps don't read ingredient lists at all. crude scores restaurant food — the kind without a barcode — by what's actually inside it. Different shelf, different problem.
