TikTok is launching 'Must Eat,' a community-driven restaurant guide feature that aggregates over 40 million posts and comments to curate dining recommendations across U.S. cities. The feature splits recommendations into 'Everyday Eats' and 'Elevated Dining' categories, allows filtering by cuisine, price, rating, and location, and enables direct OpenTable bookings. It is initially rolling out in New York City, Los Angeles, and San Francisco.
Background
TikTok has increasingly been used as a discovery platform for local businesses, with viral food content driving significant foot traffic to restaurants. Yelp and Google Maps remain dominant players in the restaurant discovery and review space.
