Guests search by context, not isolated keywords. Phrases like 'team dinner with vegan options near downtown' are the new normal. AI interprets intent and context to return specific venues.
AI returns 3-5 names with reasoned justification. There's no page 2 and no infinite scroll. You're either in the answer or invisible to that diner.
AI cites food blogs, TripAdvisor, press reviews and local media. If your restaurant doesn't have a presence in those sources, AI simply won't mention you.
AI responds in seconds with a reasoned recommendation. Diners often go from question to reservation in under 3 minutes, without opening another tab.
AI can recommend you for 'intimate dinner', 'leisurely brunch' or 'celiac-friendly restaurant' even if you don't rank for those terms on Google, because it interprets attributes — not keywords.
This is a real example of the kind of response ChatGPT generates when someone searches for a restaurant. Mentio analyzes hundreds of questions like this for your brand.
I'm looking for a romantic Italian with a terrace for a special dinner in NYC — any recommendations?
For a special dinner in NYC with a romantic vibe and outdoor seating, here are 3 options that consistently stand out: • Trattoria [Name A] — Intimate terrace in the West Village, northern Italian cuisine and a carefully curated Italian wine list. • [Name B] — Set in a historic townhouse with a courtyard garden. Contemporary Italian cooking with local ingredients. • [Name C] — Rooftop terrace with skyline views. Excellent fresh pasta and attentive service.
Mentio detects hundreds of questions like this for your industry and tells you exactly how many mention you, in which position, and what attributes AI assigns to you (or doesn't).
Mentio runs a complete generative visibility analysis built specifically for hospitality. These aren't abstract metrics — they're answers to the questions a potential guest would ask before booking.
We analyze questions segmented by occasion (date night, business dinner, leisurely brunch, family celebration) because the same restaurant can shine in one and be invisible in another. We show your Mentio Score per intent.
We identify which 3-5 competitors appear alongside you in AI responses and what attributes AI assigns them (price, ambiance, cuisine) so you know what positioning you're really competing against.
AI builds your image from thousands of sources. Mentio shows you what adjectives it uses to describe you: 'romantic', 'pricey', 'family-friendly', 'slow'. Sometimes it matches your positioning. Sometimes it doesn't.
Each LLM cites different sources. If a food blog or local outlet doesn't mention you, that channel is an invisible leak. Mentio shows which sources are feeding AI about your industry.
A fine-dining destination and a 15-location group have very different AI visibility challenges.
Your visibility depends on press reviews, restaurant guides and specialist food blogs. Mentio detects which sources are citing you, which aren't, and what national and international competitors appear when diners search for chef-driven experiences in your city.
Each location is a brand within a brand. Mentio analyzes visibility by location and detects whether AI confuses brands within your group, recommends only one of your venues, or ignores the group entirely in favor of local competition.
You compete against dozens of similar spots in searches like 'best brunch in SoHo'. Mentio tells you which decisive attributes (vibe, price, terrace, veggie) AI assigns to you — and which it gives to the place next door.
If your brand only lives online, AI depends entirely on your digital footprint. Mentio detects whether you appear in recommendations for 'best delivery pizza' or 'quality sushi delivery' and which digital-native brands are overshadowing you.
Three steps. Two minutes. A report your team can act on.
Add your brand, city and category (Italian, steakhouse, fine dining, etc.). Optionally add 3-5 direct competitors you already have in mind.
We generate 25+ questions real diners ask ChatGPT and Gemini for your category — from generic ('best Italian in NYC') to highly specific ('business dinner with vegan menu and parking near Midtown').
You receive your overall score, your ranking against competitors, content gaps and concrete recommendations to improve on each LLM. Exportable as PDF (Pro and Enterprise plans).
You can re-run the analysis whenever you launch a new menu, open a location, or change positioning to measure the impact.
We thought we owned Google. But when I asked ChatGPT for 'best restaurant groups for a corporate dinner in NYC', only one of our five locations showed up. Mentio showed us exactly where we were invisible and which sources AI was citing.
