Two Brothers Built an App So Their Cousin Could Finally Dine Out
Two Brothers Built an App So Their Cousin Could Finally Dine Out with Confidence Rohit and Sanjit Krishnamurthy grew up watching their cousin Tayjus try to navigate a world that was not built with him in mind. Tayjus has Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy and uses a motorized wheelchair. Finding a restaurant he could actually get into, sit comfortably at, and use the bathroom in was never straightforward. Sanjit, while still in high school, wrote the original AI code that became DineAbiliti. The platform pulls from public reviews and filters for what actually matters to disabled diners: whether the ramp is near the entrance, whether the table has enough clearance, whether staff are trained to welcome service dogs. It now covers 4,000 restaurants across Phoenix and the Bay Area, with four more cities coming. In surveys, 91 percent of disabled respondents said something like this would be genuinely helpful. Tayjus did not need a survey to know that.
