A restaurant can currently claim only a listing that already exists in the U.S. OpenAI says so directly for local stores and restaurants. If your restaurant already appears, you can claim that page and, once approved, manage the information on it.
What can a restaurant manage after approval?
The profile fields OpenAI lists: website, business description, product or service category, logo, a cover photo, and other optional details. OpenAI reviews changes before publishing them.
How is a restaurant's mention counted?
For a local business, a mention counts when ChatGPT shows a result for that location, even if the customer does not open the listing or visit the website. The Insights view shows this as a total over the past 28 days.
What is not available to restaurants yet?
- Adding a restaurant that has no existing listing
- A business agent, which is limited to eligible ecommerce and online service businesses in the U.S.
- Bookings through an agent. Even where agents exist, they cannot make bookings
What should a restaurant do first?
Make the website state the name, address, phone, hours, and menu clearly, and make it match your other listings. OpenAI notes that ChatGPT may also use other sources when answering questions about a business, and for a restaurant the hours and the menu are what people ask about.
