For restaurants & cafés

Tonight's table was decided
by an AI answer at 4pm.

“Where should we eat in ___?” is asked thousands of times a day, to ChatGPT. The answer names three or four spots and the reservation follows. MentionedOn tells you whether you're one of them, every single day.

Find out what AI says about your business

About 30 seconds · No signup or email needed. We ask four AI assistants questions about your type of business and town.

Same-day

Restaurant questions are decided in hours, not weeks. By the time a visitor asks, the AI answer is the shortlist, and the walk-ins follow it.

3-4 spots

AI recommends a handful of restaurants per answer. Locals' favorites that aren't in the data simply don't come up.

Per occasion

Date night, brunch with kids, big group, late-night, each question is a separate answer you either win or lose.

The questions diners ask AI about your town

We generate questions for your town and category. Daily priority checks on ChatGPT and Gemini, plus a weekly sweep across all four assistant families.

Frequently asked questions

People really pick restaurants with ChatGPT?+

Increasingly, yes, especially travelers and new arrivals who don't have a local shortlist yet. “Best place for dinner in ___” is a top trip-planning question, and the AI answer effectively is the consideration set.

How is this different from my Yelp and Google presence?+

Yelp and Google rankings are inputs; the AI answer is the output. Assistants synthesize reviews, local guides, food blogs, and their own training data, and they name far fewer places than a search results page. MentionedOn measures the output: what AI actually says when someone asks about your town.

We're a seasonal town, does that matter?+

It's exactly why monitoring matters. Questions shift with the calendar, patio season, crab season, harvest weekends, and MentionedOn auto-discovers seasonal questions for your destination so you see the answers that matter right now.

What does it cost for one restaurant?+

$99/month on the Local plan, one good Friday-night table covers it. Cancel anytime. Restaurant groups use Growth at $399/month for up to 5 locations.
