For restaurants
Does ChatGPT recommend your restaurant?
When someone asks an AI assistant where to eat tonight, the answer is three or four names, said with confidence. Locan tells you every week whether your restaurant is one of them, and what to fix if it is not.
- Every country, every language
- Read-only, nothing is changed for you

What your customers ask AI
Every one of these is answered with names. Is yours there?
Questions people put to ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode when they look for a place to eat. The answer is the place two streets over, or you.
- “best Italian restaurant for a date night in town”
- “where can I eat with kids near the old town”
- “restaurants open after 10pm on a Sunday”
- “good vegan lunch near the station”
Locan reads your category, Google reviews and website, then writes the questions people type when they look for your services, in the local language, the way locals type them, never with your name. You edit, add and remove. No cap on questions.
Every week, in your inbox
What the tracker tells you about your restaurant
- 1
Whether AI names you, per question
For every question, whether ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode name your restaurant, how often and in which position, with the raw answers of the latest run. 3 samples per question, because one answer tells you nothing.
- 2
Who they recommend instead
The restaurants AI names when it does not name you, and the websites it trusts for restaurants in your city, with whether you are listed on each.
- 3
What to fix, highest impact first
An action plan with the listing text ready to paste, in the local language, and what AI gets wrong about your hours, phone, address and website.
Is Locan for your restaurant?
Yes, if
- You run one or a few restaurants and want to know what AI tells your customers about you.
- Your customers are local: they ask for a place in their city, in their language.
- You, or your agency, can change the profile and the website when Locan shows what to change.
Probably not, if
- You want a one-off snapshot: the free check on this page does that, no account needed.
- You need someone to make the changes for you: Locan prepares each fix, you apply it.
- You expect a guaranteed position: nobody controls what the assistants answer, Locan shows it and what moves it.

Questions restaurants ask us
Do people really ask ChatGPT where to eat? +
Yes, and the assistants answer with names, not links. They lean on Google Maps data, review texts, local guides and your own site. A restaurant whose menu, hours and dishes are easy to find gets named; one that lives on Instagram alone often does not.
We have a 4.7 rating. Isn’t that enough? +
The rating is one input. AI reads what the reviews say: which dishes, which occasions, whether the place suits kids or a late dinner. Locan shows the exact questions where you are missing and the competitor named instead, so you know which gap to close.
We have three restaurants. Does that cost three times as much? +
No. Every plan includes unlimited locations; each restaurant gets its own questions, language and competitors. Plans differ only in the credits added each month, and a smaller place can be checked every two weeks instead of weekly.
What does it cost for one restaurant? +
Plans start at $39 a month billed yearly, or $49 month to month, in US dollars with tax included. The Basic plan covers one restaurant checked weekly on ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews and Google AI Mode with about 20 questions. Run the free check on this page and you are offered a free month of the Basic plan; cancel before it ends and you pay nothing.
