What's actually at stake

Three questions every owner is quietly asking.

Can hungry customers actually find you?

If you don't show up when they're searching, you don't exist. We check what Google, Maps, and every scroll is telling them.

Do strangers trust you before they taste you?

Reviews, ratings, response habits, and social proof decide if a stranger walks in, or keeps scrolling to the place next door.

Does your brand look worth choosing?

Identity, photography, and story. When someone finds you, do they feel a restaurant that's confident, or one just hanging on?

What you get

A grade, a score, and the exact 12 checkpoints.

12 checkpoints across two dimensions: MARKETING (can customers find you and act?) and BRAND (when they find you, do they choose you?). Scored against your three nearest competitors.
