Information

Terms.

These terms describe free owner listings and Featured Spot advertising on this site. A restaurant can add a free listing, or claim a numbered Featured Spot for $25 USD (shown in your local currency at checkout) for 30 days.

The offer

A Featured Spot is a clearly labeled paid advertising placement in one category of one Best Place to Eat city restaurant guide. Until a spot is reserved, it appears as an open Featured Spot card. That card is not a listing for a real restaurant and is not an endorsement.

  • A free owner-submitted listing, published only after we approve it, appears below the numbered spots and is not labeled as paid.
  • $25 USD (shown in your local currency at checkout) for a numbered Featured Spot in one category for 30 days, labeled Sponsored.
  • Five social captions, sent by email after payment.
  • The placement will be clearly labeled as advertising.

We don’t guarantee any traffic or sales, or any particular search ranking, reviews, or reservations.

When the 30 days start

The 30-day period starts when the reserved placement is published on this site after payment is received, not merely when a request is made.

What we may decline or remove

We may refuse or take down a placement that is unlawful, misleading, off-topic, or that we reasonably believe could harm diners or other businesses. A removed placement may be replaced or refunded at our discretion if it could not be shown for the paid term.

Free listings

Only a person who owns or manages a restaurant may submit a free listing for it. Submissions stay pending until we approve them. We do not scrape restaurants or invent listings. We may decline or remove a listing that is inaccurate, unauthorized, or otherwise unsuitable. A free listing is not a paid advertisement and is not labeled Sponsored. Free listings run for 30 days. Owners can resubmit to renew, or upgrade to a $25 USD (shown in your local currency at checkout) Sponsored spot for 30 days.

Photos and names

A listing should use accurate names and images that the restaurant has the right to use. By submitting a photo, you confirm you own or manage the restaurant and have the right to use that photo. Stock photos on empty numbered cards are decorative only.

Payment

Checkout for a numbered Featured Spot runs through a Stripe payment link. The charge is $25 USD (shown in your local currency at checkout) plus any stated processing or tax amount shown at checkout. Refunds, if any, will follow the terms shown at checkout and these terms. A Sponsored listing is added only after we verify the payment, usually within 24 hours.
