The project 'Pikadish' appears to be a discontinued or failed mobile application (last updated 2021, removed from Google Play) with negligible verifiable traction (~20 downloads lifetime according to AppBrain). The submission contains highly hyperbolic and factually incorrect claims (e.g., 'most people have used my product' and 'audience reach: everyone'). While the concept of a visual food concierge has merit, the execution shows no evidence of market fit or user adoption.
