Deals

Network

FindShare provides a tool for keeping track of similar friend's like and check-ins. Users are also encouraged to invite similar friends to FindShare since they are good source of new recommendations.
Restaurant and Hotel Owners
- How can FindShare help restaurant and hotel owners?
- FindShare is a unique recommendation service for restaurants and hotels since it only collects ratings, favorite dishes, and top features from users. It does not collect actual reviews. Ratings are only used to match the establishments’ loyal client base with other potential customers with similar profiles through big data algorithms. No aggregate rankings or ratings are shown. Hence, FindShare is a positive only recommendation service that restaurants and hotels can confidently promote to engage their customer base and to find new clients. There is no risk of negative publicity with FindShare. For more information, please visit the owners section.

- How can restaurant owners upload their menu and photos?
- Please send your menu and photos to support@findshare.com . We will upload the information in two business days.
- How does FindShare find new customers for a restaurant or hotel?
- As users rate more dishes and restaurants, FindShare is able to create profiles for each of them. This information is used to match users with similar likes to create new recommendations using big data algorithms. Hence, as more users rate a particular restaurant, it increases the number of recommendations for that restaurant. This translates to new customers that fit the profile of the loyal client base.
