Who uses Restaurant Guru
Restaurants, cafes, bars and other places to eat and drink around the world are listed. Diners can add their own review on Restaurant Guru, and many of the reviews shown are imported from other platforms and labeled with their source.
Claim your profile
- Open the restaurant's page on Restaurant Guru and use the Claim your business link, or go to the Restaurant Guru for business page.
- Sign up for a business account there (the page calls it a free account), or use Add a business if the restaurant is not listed.
- Sign in to the business account to keep business information, menus and photos accurate, customize the restaurant's preview and publish special offers.
- Restaurant Guru's terms mention paid promotion services for restaurateurs; their terms are shown in the account after registration and verification as a restaurateur.
- The pages we checked do not describe how Restaurant Guru verifies ownership.
Replying to reviews
Restaurant Guru lists responding to reviews among the features of a business account. On restaurant pages, reviews written on Restaurant Guru show a Reply link, and reviews imported from other sites can show a response from the owner beneath them. The pages we checked do not describe the reply steps in detail.
- Restaurant Guru's contact page says problems with restaurant information should be raised with the platform where the data was originally placed, and that its own support team only handles requests about the Restaurant Guru website.
- The terms let Restaurant Guru remove or edit any content at its discretion.
Review rules
In our own words. The official page is the rule that applies.
- User content must not be illegal, threatening, obscene, defamatory, racist, spam or commercial solicitation. The terms also exclude references to illegal activity, malpractice, overcharging, false advertising and health code violations such as foreign objects in food or food poisoning.
- Reviews should be unbiased and objective.
- Reviewers may not be paid for a review and may not review their own restaurant or one belonging to their employer, a friend, a relative or a competitor.
- False email addresses and impersonation are not allowed, and the name a reviewer gives may be shown publicly.
- Contributors must hold the rights to what they upload. Content must be family friendly, and sexually explicit comments, prejudiced language, threats and personal insults are removed.
- Restaurant Guru uses technology and content editors to moderate uploads, but says it may not regularly review what users submit and asks readers to report problems.
Reporting a review
Restaurant Guru's own process, step by step.
- Each review has a Request content removal link, and the same form is linked in the site footer.
- The form asks for the URL, a reason (privacy concern; offensive, hateful or sexually explicit content; copyright or legal issue; wrong information; or other), an email address and a message.
- Restaurant pages also have a Report incorrect information link for listing details.
- Copyright claims can also be sent to dmca@restaurantguru.com with the details listed in the disclaimer.
Tips
- Keep hours, menus and photos current, since diners compare them across many restaurants.
- Many reviews shown come from other platforms, so managing your profiles there also improves what appears here.
- Reply to reviews politely and briefly, and take specific complaints offline.
- Never pay for reviews or ask friends, staff or relatives to post them.
