For Restaurants · Earned, never sold

Verified Favorites.
Unbiased podiums.

When a dish at your restaurant lands on a theBEAT podium — ranked #1, #2, or #3 in any dietary or editorial category, on the editorial baseline and then the room’s votes as they arrive — you’ve earned a Verified Favorite. Window decal, social card, and a snippet for your site. All free. We never charge a restaurant a dollar.

No ads. · No paid placement. · Ranked by the room.

Podiums are live in the app. The badge program is not — yet.

In-app rankings are live. Restaurant outreach — the badges, decals, and embed snippets you see here — opens after we cross roughly two thousand active users, when podium order is steady week to week. Recognition that gets recalled isn’t recognition.

N° 001 · Window decal

For the window. Print at 4′′ or 6′′ on weatherproof vinyl.

N° 002 · Social card

For Instagram and TikTok. 4:5 vertical, ready to post.

N° 003 · Website embed

For your menu page or about page. One snippet to embed.

How it works

Three steps. No catch.

We do not sell placement. We do not take fees from restaurants. The badge is recognition for what the room already decided.

I

A dish lands on a podium.

Ranked #1, #2, or #3 in any dietary or editorial category. A confirmed visit — a check-in or a scanned receipt — counts for more. Editorial baseline first; community-driven once vote volume settles.

II

We email you when it happens.

A short note, the dish, the rank, the link to download your badge files. Free, immediately, no strings.

III

Display it if you want.

Window decal, Instagram card, website embed — in your hands. Display it, ignore it, share it. The recognition stays either way.

No ads. No paid placement. Ranked by the room.

Earned, never sold · the only way it works

Website embed snippet

Illustrative — these two URLs do not resolve yet. Your real snippet arrives by email with the badge files.

<a href="https://thebeatedit.com/restaurant/your-restaurant-slug"
   target="_blank" rel="noopener">
  <img src="https://thebeatedit.com/verified-favorite/your-dish-slug.svg"
       alt="Verified Favorite by theBEAT — voted #1 by diners"
       width="320" height="180"
       style="max-width:100%; height:auto;" />
</a>

We’ll generate the exact snippet for your dish when the badge is ready. Drop it on your menu page or in your footer.

Two ways in, while you wait.

Rankings are live in the app. The first wave of restaurant outreach — badges, decals, embeds — goes out after we cross roughly two thousand active users. The app isn’t on the App Store yet; leave your email for one note when it lands. In the meantime, here are the two paths that work.

N° 001 · Founding Lifetime

Become a Founding Member.

Priority for life, $159 once, no renewals. When the app lands on the App Store, watch your category move from the inside. Not ready to pay? The app itself will be free.

$159 once for the first 50 Lifetime members, then $249.

$159 once · lifetime →

N° 002 · Wait for outreach

Notify me when badges go out.

No commitment. We’ll write you the moment the program activates — and if your dish is already on a podium, the badge files come with that note.
