Best Local Cuisine General Guidelines 01-22-12
Best Local Cuisine General Guidelines 01-22-12
Best Local Cuisine is an online community that brings together foodies from all over the world. Here you can upload photos, videos, articles and reviews. Because we want you to feel safe when you log in, we have put together some guidelines for everyone to adhere to.
Inappropriate Content
Of course we want you to give us your honest reviews, pictures and video’s, but we do ask that you avoid threatening comments, lewd behavior, hateful messages and reviews, and intolerant prejudice.
Promotional Content
Food Establishments are allowed to post promotional content to their page, but we ask that diners use the site for reviews and comments. Please do not post advertorial information about your business if you are a general user.
Conflicting Interests
Make sure that all the reviews that are posted remain objective. All reviews need to be unbiased and reflect the true opinions from reviewers. If you work for the food establishment we ask that you keep your opinions to yourself. Do not write favorable reviews about your place of employment or your unfavorable reviewers about your competitors.
Be Relevant
Make sure that you keep your contributions relevant. Best Local Cuisine is not the place to talk about a food establishment’s political views, employment practices and other contributions that are not relevant to the site.
We Value Your Privacy
You want your information to be kept private and so does everyone else. Make sure that you do not divulge other people’s personal information. Do not post full names, phone numbers or email addresses. If you take pictures make sure that you have permission if you are planning on posting photos of other people.
Keep It Original
Do not take content from other users or websites. Make sure that all of your reviews are 100% original. You must own all of the rights to your photo’s and video’s as well.
More Guidelines
We like our reviews to be personal and passionate. We have put together some additional guidelines that will help you become a better reviewer.
Keep It Real
Best Local Cuisine wants your personal opinions. We do not want you to review a restaurant or diner based on your best friend’s experience. Tell your story. The more detailed the better.
Be Accurate
Facts are facts. Make sure that your review post is correct. Do not misrepresent or exaggerate your dining experience. We want others to be able to trust your reviews.
Updates
You can add additional information to your review, but make sure that you do not rehash what you have already published. Updates are meant for new experiences. If you feel like added to your existing review all you have to do is edit and post instead of creating an entirely new update.
Pictures
We love pictures, but we ask that you only post photos that you own the rights to. Take shots of the establishments and snap a couple of pictures of your meal but remember to get permission if you plan on including your favorite waitress in the shot. Nudity, violence and copyrighted material will not be tolerated on Best Local Cuisine.
Videos
Video reviews are a great way to get your message across, but we ask that you own the rights to your clips. We also ask that you steer clear of nude, lewd or violent images or those that may be deemed as such.
Talk, Talk, Talk
We value your opinions and want to hear from you. All we ask is that you engage in open conversations that are fun and honest. Users that consistently disrupt the community will be dealt with appropriately.
Response
As a business owner you want to know firsthand what the public thinks of your establishment. Responding to your diners is an excellent way to get to know your customers. With Best Local Cuisine you can respond publically or privately to a favorable or not so favorable review. Before you start responding remember that everyone who reviews your establishment has paid to dine there. You might not like what a particular reviewer has said, but keep in mind that they have feelings too. Best Local Cuisine prides itself on excellent reviewers who are opinioned and sometimes very vocal.

Happy New Year
Be always at war with your vices, at peace with your neighbors, and let each New Year find you a better man. -Benjamin Franklin-
We will open the book. Its pages are blank. We are going to put words on them ourselves. The book is called Opportunity and its first chapter is New Year's Day.
- Edith Lovejoy Pierce
Happy New Year from All of us at Best Local Cuisine.

About Us:
In June 2011 we founded Best Local Cuisine so that foodies and restaurateurs could come together in a centralized location. Our customizable site celebrates the love of food and all the delicious things that go with it. Whether you are looking for a quick bite or want to plan an elegant dinner, Best Local Cuisine is your online destination. Our site features listings, locations, maps, menus, video articles, and most importantly, reviews.
As a diner and member of our community you have the ability to check out your favorite restaurants or see what others have to say about a place that you have wanted to try. Our intuitive filter system does all the work for you. All you have to do is search, eat and review. It really is that simple. Just imagine having your opinions posted so that they whole community can share in your dining experiences. Seeing is believing and with Best Local Cuisine you will be able to look at photos from the food establishment, watch video reviews and read the real truth with honest reviews posted by others just like you. Best Local Cuisine offers visitors a user friendly interface that enables you to upload your content in minutes. All you have to do is sign on and start posting. If you have always wanted to be a restaurant reviewer, Best Local Cuisine will help you get there.
Our virtual hub gives restaurant and diner owners and operators the opportunity to learn first-hand what the public really thinks of their food, service and ambience. Wouldn’t it be great to be able to fix something before it gets out of hand? A one-star review can ruin a restaurants reputation. With Best Local Cuisine, reviews and posts are uploaded in real time giving you the opportunity to speak out about an unfair review. You can chat with the reviewer and find out what they didn’t like about your establishment. On the other hand if they gave you a stellar review you can thank them and maybe even award them with a gift card. Our system lets establishment owners know via generated email when a comment has been posted. As a restaurateur you will be able to promote your business with listings, photo’s, videos and articles. You can even have a weekly blog and chat with your customers. Diners will have the opportunity to download your printable coupons, take part in weekly specials and read about menu changes. If you have a special event to promote all you have to do is post it on your restaurant page. There has never been an easier way to let the world know about your eatery.
