Questions for owners
Will this cost anything?

There is no cost to be featured in the guide.
Your only “payment” is when a guest actually arrives and redeems your offer. There are no upfront fees, no subscriptions, and no long-term commitments.
Do I have control over the offer?

You choose the offer, limits, restrictions, and blackout dates.
We’ll help recommend what works best, but everything is ultimately your decision so it fits your shop’s operations.
Do I get to keep and use the photos?

Absolutely. You maintain full rights and control over every photo we take.
After the shoot, we handle all post-production editing, color grading, retouching, and layout-ready exports, then deliver everything directly to you. You’re free to use the images for your website, social media, delivery platforms, press, or in-store marketing. They’re yours.
Do I have control over what’s written about my restaurant?

Yes. You approve every word before anything is printed.
After we draft your story, we send it to you for review. You can request changes, refinements, additions, or removals — as many times as needed. Nothing is published without your final approval.
How is the agreement made?

We keep the process simple. Once you’re ready to participate, we send a short agreement summarizing your offer, restrictions, blackout dates, and how redemptions work.

There are no long-term contracts, no fees, and no obligations. You can update your offer or withdraw at any time before printing. Everything is transparent and designed around your comfort.
