How Passa works

1. Save it the moment you hear it

There are two ways in, and they land on the same list. Text it to 855-94-PASSA the way you would tell a friend: “Lucali, from Jess, get the calzone.” Or open your list at passalong.xyz and tap Save a rec, then type the same words. Your first text gets a reply; after that, saves go quietly, so your thread stays yours.

You do not need to fill in a form. Write it the way you would say it, and add who told you if you know. On the site, the people who tell you the most are one tap away, and so are the places already on your list.

2. Passa files it for you

Every save is sorted onto a shelf: Restaurants, Drinks, Shows, Services, Products, Music, Books, Travel. It keeps the name, the friend who told you, where it is, and your note (“cash only, go early”). If two friends tell you about the same place, it stays one rec with both of them on it, which is the best sign of all.

If something is filed wrong, tap it and fix it. Nothing is locked in.

3. Get it back when it matters

Text a shelf, like “restaurants” or “shows,” and the list comes back. Text “FIND tacos” to search everything you have saved. On the site, search your list, browse a shelf, or open a friend to see everything they told you.

Can’t decide where to go? Tonight puts what your friends recommended most at the top and will pick one for you, with a map and a way to book a table.

4. Pass it on

Found something good? Pass it on from your list. Your friend gets a page with the place, the note and a map, and can keep it on a list of their own. Good recommendations are meant to travel.
