This report, which uses survey data from more than 2,000 U.S. diners, explores how personal recommendations, search engines, social media, and restaurant website shape diner discovery. Some of the key insights contained include:
Digital front doors make a difference. 86% of diners use online research to find new restaurants, and diners rely on online resources almost as much as personal recommendations.
Third-party reservation platforms don’t drive diner discovery. 46% of diners never use reservation platforms to find new restaurants, compared with just 22% for food delivery platforms and 13% for review sites.
Crafting a website with the right details is key. 75% of diners stated that they are more likely to choose a restaurant with a high-quality website over a restaurant with a bad website.
