Building carefully.
Launching responsibly.
DIE KebApp is currently in Phase 1: a staged beta programme before wider public launch. We are testing the app with progressively larger groups to improve performance, listen to community feedback, review our data-protection safeguards, and build a product people can trust.
Test before scaling
We expand only after reviewing the previous cohort and resolving the issues that matter most.
Collect with purpose
We aim to collect and use only the data needed to provide the features available in each phase.
Listen to the community
Beta feedback helps us find bugs, unclear journeys, inaccurate information, and accessibility issues.
Improve transparently
We document, review, and address issues as the product develops.
Before the official launch
100 Beta Testers
- Test core user journeys and ensure the app runs reliably in real use.
- Review permission flows and data-protection safeguards.
- Check that data use remains ethical, proportionate, and limited.
- Gather direct feedback from early users on usability, restaurant discovery, and bugs.
- Record and prioritise anomalies before expanding the test group.
1,000 Beta Testers
- Confirm that the app remains stable and responsive with a larger testing population.
- Continue reviewing that the app collects only the minimum data necessary.
- Gather broader feedback and resolve the most important technical, usability, and accessibility issues.
- Begin onboarding restaurant partners in a structured and transparent way.
- Find five volunteer brand ambassadors who want to represent the DIE KebApp community.
10,000 Beta Testers
- Test the app at a substantially larger scale and continue resolving reliability issues.
- Aim to onboard at least 50 restaurant partners.
- Prepare and implement the partner QR-code policy and related operational rules.
- Re-review privacy, security, and ethical data-use safeguards before the next stage of growth.
Official release
- Beta testers keep their points advantages.
- Expand to all interested users across Berlin and beyond.
- Scale restaurant partnerships across the city.
Why beta testing matters
A beta version is still being improved. Real-world testing helps us identify technical issues, confusing interactions, inaccurate information, accessibility barriers, and potential privacy or security concerns before wider release.
We encourage beta participants to report anything that does not work as expected, feels unclear, appears inaccurate, or seems inconsistent with our Privacy Statement.
Report an issueHelp build DIE KebApp and earn Early Tester benefits
Early testers will have long-term benefits. Everyone who joins the Phase 1 or Phase 2 beta will be recognised as an Early Beta Tester and will receive future Early Tester benefits as DIE KebApp grows.
Phase 3 testers can earn the same Early Tester status by making a meaningful contribution to the beta. To qualify, complete either of the following during Phase 3:
- Submit 15 valid bug reports; or
- Invite 30 unique people through your personal beta invitation link who join the beta.
Early Tester benefits may include early access to new features, an exclusive tester badge, priority access to future beta programmes, community recognition, and special offers where available.
A responsible launch is more than a date
We are building DIE KebApp step by step because trust has to be earned through the product itself. Our goal is to deliver a useful, enjoyable food-discovery experience while continuously reviewing quality, data protection, and the way our community and partners are treated.
Beta testing helps us improve the service, but it does not remove users’ legal rights. Our Privacy Statement and applicable terms continue to apply while the beta is available.
