  • ✓No sponsored spots or paid boosts
  • ✓No ads for other restaurants on your page
  • ✓Dish-level ratings reward what you’re best at
  • ✓A great rating is worth something because it can’t be bought

Why restaurants look for a Yelp alternative

The common frustrations, and what Lunchboxed does instead.
💸
Paying to be seen

When visibility is for sale, small restaurants compete with ad budgets, not with their food.

On Lunchboxed: Lunchboxed has no sponsored placement. Rankings come from dish ratings, and you can’t pay to move up.
🚫
Ads on your own page

Your listing should sell your restaurant, not send hungry people somewhere else.

On Lunchboxed: We don’t sell ads. Your listing shows you, your dishes and your buttons.
🙈
Reviews that disappear

Owners and diners get frustrated when ratings are hidden by software they can’t see into.

On Lunchboxed: Ratings come from real signed-in accounts, and there’s no paid tier for visibility. If something looks wrong, you report it and a person reviews it.
🍜
One star for the whole restaurant

A slow Saturday shouldn’t outweigh the best noodles in town.

On Lunchboxed: Diners rate the dish. Your standout plates get credit, and a weak one doesn’t sink the whole restaurant.
📝
Wrong menu, wrong hours

Outdated information costs you customers, and fixing it shouldn’t take weeks.

On Lunchboxed: Edit dishes, prices, hours, photos and details yourself in your dashboard, live as soon as you publish.
🧾
Fees on bookings and orders

Commissions and lock-ins eat margins that are already thin.

On Lunchboxed: Claiming is free. Your booking, order and delivery buttons go straight to your own channels, and Lunchboxed takes no cut.
⚖️
No say in the conversation

You should be able to answer a review, and to flag one that breaks the rules.

On Lunchboxed: Reply publicly, say thanks in a tap, and report spam, abuse or reviews of the wrong place. Ratings stay honest: nobody can edit or delete them.
🖼️
Photos you don’t control

The first photo people see shapes whether they walk in.

On Lunchboxed: Upload your own, feature your favourites first, and hide the ones that don’t represent you.
🏪
Managing more than one location

Chains and groups need one login, not one headache per address.

On Lunchboxed: Claim every location, switch between them in one dashboard, and share dishes between your locations automatically.
⏱️
Setup that takes forever

Busy owners can’t spend a week on a listing.

On Lunchboxed: Find your restaurant, verify with a phone, email or document, and you’re in. Usually within a day or two.
You’re in control

Your menu, hours and photos, kept right by you

Wrong information costs you customers. Your dashboard lets you fix a price, update your hours or feature your best photo in seconds, and it’s live as soon as you publish.

  • ✓Edit dishes, prices and descriptions
  • ✓Set hours, price and features like outdoor seating
  • ✓Feature your best photos and hide the ones that don’t fit
  • ✓Add a book, order or call button with no fees
Be honest about who we are

Newer and smaller, and built around the dish

Lunchboxed isn’t trying to be everything to everyone, and we won’t pretend we’re as big as the biggest review sites. We’re building the place where people go to find the best dish. If you want your best dishes seen by diners who care about what’s on the plate, it’s a free listing worth claiming, and it works alongside the profiles you already have.

  • ✓Free to claim, with no contract
  • ✓Works alongside your other listings
  • ✓Early owners help shape what we build next

Frequently asked questions

Is Lunchboxed a replacement for Yelp?

It’s an alternative, and you can use both. Many restaurants keep every listing they have. Lunchboxed is newer and smaller than the big review sites, and it’s built around ratings for individual dishes. Claiming your listing is free, so there’s nothing to lose by being there.

Is Lunchboxed affiliated with Yelp?

No. Lunchboxed is an independent company and isn’t affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to Yelp.

Do I have to pay to be ranked higher?

No. There is no sponsored placement on Lunchboxed. Restaurants and dishes rank by what diners rate.

Will there be ads for other restaurants on my page?

No. Lunchboxed doesn’t sell advertising, so your listing shows your restaurant. If that ever changes, we’ll tell owners first.

Can I delete a bad review?

No, and that’s deliberate. It’s why diners trust the ratings. You can reply publicly, and you can report a review to our team if it’s spam, abusive or about a different restaurant.

What does it cost?

Claiming and managing your listing is free today. Your booking, ordering and delivery buttons link to your own partners and Lunchboxed takes no fee. We’ll give notice before introducing any paid features.

How do I get started?

Find your restaurant, claim it and verify with a phone number, a work email or a document. We review every claim by hand, usually within 1–2 days.
