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.

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?+
$49/month on the Local plan — one good two-top covers it. 14-day free trial, no credit card. Restaurant groups use Portfolio at $149/month for up to 5 locations.
