Bay Area
Less guessing before you leave.
San Francisco pickleball can feel hyper-local: a court may be perfect at one hour and difficult at another. Kitchen Guru helps players follow specific courts and see anonymous activity without revealing who is there.
The pain
Do not waste the play window.
In San Francisco, limited court windows and dense neighborhoods make timing and privacy important.
The product
Follow courts, not noise.
Kitchen Guru pings saved courts and keeps stranger visibility at the court-activity level.
Saved-court alerts
Only the San Francisco courts you choose.
Kitchen Guru is not built around random radius blasts. Pick the courts that fit your routine, then get a simple signal when that exact place needs players.

San Francisco FAQ
Simple answers before you join.
These answers stay intentionally practical: what the app does, what it does not expose, and how court-specific alerts work.
How does Kitchen Guru help pickleball players in San Francisco?
Kitchen Guru helps San Francisco players follow saved courts, check anonymous court activity, and connect with players they actually meet at public courts. It is built for the local problem that limited court windows and dense neighborhoods make timing and privacy important.
Can I choose which San Francisco courts send alerts?
Yes. The alert model is court-specific: save the courts you actually play, then use those saved courts for future player-needed and court-update alerts.
Will strangers see my name or exact location?
No. The first layer is anonymous court activity. Names, presence, and direct messages are for mutual friends after both players approve the connection.

The public pages are collecting beta interest. The app starts with a free account path, while Kitchen Guru+ features remain part of the controlled release plan.
Who is Kitchen Guru for?
Kitchen Guru is intended for adults 18 and older who meet at public pickleball courts, want less guessing before they leave, and prefer simple court-level alerts instead of noisy group chats.
