Independent product studio

Building products around personal preference and real-world behavior.

JunicLab is a founder-led product studio based in South Korea. We build products that become more useful through personal preference and real-world behavior, rather than generic popularity alone.

Personalized restaurant discovery

Generic 4.5-star ratings don't answer the real question: "Where do people with tastes similar to mine actually enjoy eating?" We are building a service that matches you with places based on taste similarity and genuine revisit intent, starting in Daegu.

Our Approach

We keep restaurant taste profiles and restaurant preference signals separate. Recommendations are centered on the relationship between users with similar tastes and the restaurant preferences and behaviors observed from those users.

User Taste Similarity Γ— Restaurant Preference / Behavior

Personal relevance

We prioritize what a specific user tends to enjoy over generic popularity or one-size-fits-all rankings.

Behavior beyond ratings

We give more weight to preference signals such as revisit intent and restaurant interactions than to aggregate ratings alone.

First-party evidence compounds

External data provides the cold-start foundation. Long-term value comes from preference and behavior evidence generated inside the service as real usage grows.
