Savor Scout › Food personality types › The Occasion Maker
The Occasion Maker
You're paying for the evening, not just the food.
A meal is a place to be, not just fuel. You'll happily spend more for a room worth sitting in — and you think the people counting pennies are missing the point.
What being The Occasion Maker actually means
A meal is an evening, not fuel. You are paying for the room, the pace and the fact that nobody is rushing you, and you think people optimising for cost-per-calorie are solving a different problem than the one dinner is for.
How you find out
The Savor Scout taste quiz runs over seven days — five questions a day, about a minute each. Every day reads a different part of how you eat: heat, sweet, value, adventure, late nights and discovery. On the last day you get your type.
It is not a personality test for its own sake. Your answers weight what the app recommends, starting from day one, so a The Occasion Maker and a The Firewalker searching the same words in the same town get different restaurants back.
