Trust matters

How we verify deals

Our goal is simple: make it easier to find useful food deals without pretending every promotion works everywhere.

1. Discover

Deals can come from official restaurant sources, promotional emails, public announcements, community submissions, restaurant submissions, and other research sources.

2. Research

We collect the offer details that matter: dates, price or discount, promo code, purchase requirement, app or rewards requirements, redemption method, geography, limits, exclusions, and participating-location language.

3. Verify

A deal is not treated as verified merely because someone submitted it. Source evidence and the full terms are reviewed before a deal is eligible for the verified public feed.

4. Publish

The public feed is designed to show deals that are verified, published, public, and still within their active date window.

5. Monitor and correct

Restaurant promotions can change. We keep correction and hold states separate so a questionable or changed offer can be reviewed instead of silently remaining live.

What “verified” does not mean

It does not mean every franchise or location must participate, that inventory cannot run out, or that a restaurant cannot change an offer. Always check the terms and participating-location language before ordering.

Restaurant partners follow the same deal-review standard

A restaurant may eventually have a verified partner account or paid tools, but partner status and payment never make an unverified deal verified.
