How it works
1
Score every reviewer
Our algorithm analyzes each reviewer's history to determine if they're a local or a tourist passing through.
2
Weight the ratings
Local reviewers' opinions count more. Restaurants that coast on out-of-towner hype get penalized.
3
Rank by local love
A trained ML model classifies each restaurant using review signals, NLP, and location data. The best local picks rise to the top.
