More diners ask AI "best brunch in my city" than ever — and the AI names a handful of spots. If you're not one of them, those tables go to a competitor. Check free in 20 seconds.
Restaurant discovery has quietly moved into AI assistants. A diner deciding where to eat no longer scrolls ten blue links — they ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini "where should I get brunch in Coral Gables?" and get a short, confident list of three to five places. Being on that list is the new word-of-mouth; being off it is invisible at the exact moment someone is ready to book a table.
Unlike a Google ranking, you can't buy your way onto that list, and it changes by the week as the models re-read their sources. The AI builds its answer from a specific set of places it trusts — local review sites, food media, reservation platforms, and community threads. If those sources describe you well, the AI recommends you. If they don't mention you for that exact occasion ("brunch," "date night," "best tacos"), you simply aren't in the answer.
Orbator measures whether AI recommends your restaurant for the categories that matter, across all five major engines — then shows you exactly which sources the AI read to build its answer, so you know where to be present.
When AI answers "best brunch in your city," it doesn't invent the list — it reads these:
Because the sources AI trusts — local food media, Yelp/TripAdvisor, Reddit threads — describe your competitor for that specific occasion and not you. It's rarely about food quality; it's about how well the surfaces AI reads represent you for "brunch," "date night," or whatever the diner asked.
Related but different. Your Google profile is one input. AI assistants synthesize an answer from many sources — food editorial, review sites, reservation platforms, community threads — and recommend a short list. Orbator measures and improves that AI recommendation specifically.
All five that diners actually use: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and Grok. Each cites different sources, so we weight the ones that show their work.
Strong reviews help, but AI answers are occasion-specific. You can be the top "pancakes" spot and be absent from "best brunch" if the lists and threads the AI reads don't frame you that way. The fix is getting represented for the categories you want to win.
No. The scan is free and takes about 20 seconds. You only pay if you want ongoing weekly monitoring or hands-on help getting recommended.
