AI advisory › Restaurants
When a diner asks AI where to eat tonight, does it send them to you?
“Where should we go for dinner near the theater?” is now a question people ask an assistant, often by voice. The audit shows whether the assistants name your restaurant, what they say about your hours and menu, and where they got it.
For a restaurant, a wrong answer costs a table tonight
A diner who is told you close at 9 when you close at 11 goes somewhere else. So does one who hears you are closed on Mondays because a listing says so. Hours, address, price range, reservations, and dietary options are what diners ask about, and they are exactly what assistants get from listings that may be out of date.
The assistants rarely read your own website first. Their answers tend to come from map listings, review sites, reservation platforms, local guides, and press coverage. When those disagree with each other or with your site, the assistant picks one, and you do not see which.
Dietary and allergy statements need care
A diner may ask for gluten-free or nut-free options and act on what the assistant says. The audit checks every statement made about your restaurant against your own menu and pages, and reports any that contradict them or cannot be verified.
Being named for the right occasion
Diners rarely ask for a restaurant by name. They ask by neighborhood, cuisine, occasion, and price. Whether you are named for those questions depends on whether your own pages and the listings say those things plainly and consistently.
Questions your diners ask
Questions like these, asked without your name, show whether you are recommended. Two or three ask about you by name, to check your hours, address, and menu.
- Where can we get a good dinner near the theater district before an 8 o'clock show?
- Which restaurants in the neighborhood have a quiet room for a birthday dinner for ten?
- Is there a place nearby with good gluten-free pasta?
- What is the best brunch within walking distance of the waterfront?
- Is this restaurant open on Monday nights, and do they take reservations?
Examples only. Your ten questions are drafted from your own website and order, and you approve them before you pay.
What the audit shows a restaurant
- Whether you are recommended. For neighborhood, cuisine, and occasion questions, which of seven assistants name you, link to you, or show your own site as the source.
- Whether the facts are right. Hours, address, price range, reservations, and menu claims checked against your own pages. A wrong address is asked again once before it is reported.
- Which sources shaped the answer. The listing, review, and guide sites the assistants relied on, so you know which ones to correct first.
- Who was named instead. The restaurants a diner heard about in your place.
