How we check a listing
Every eatout listing is built from named sources, checked on a regular schedule and open to correction from you.
Where each fact comes from
Each fact comes from a named source. A venue's name, address, map pin, phone, hours, price level and rating come from its Google Business Profile, and Google ratings are shown as Google ratings. The description, menu and booking links come from the venue's own website.
How What diners say is written
What diners say is written in our own words from every Google review a place has. We state a point only when at least two reviews say it, and we never quote anyone.
Photos
Photos come from eatout's own library or are illustrations made for eatout, never from Google. Each photo carries a line saying it was not taken at that venue.
What gets listed and left out
We list dining venues, leave out chains and wineries without a proper cafe or restaurant, and remove places closed for good. Nobody pays for a listing or a ranking.
How often it is rechecked
Listings are rechecked every quarter. Hours are checked monthly and before public holidays, and menu and booking links are checked monthly. A How we checked box, with the date, sits with every venue's details.
Corrections
Corrections can come from you or from a venue's owner. You can send one through update a listing.
