Be found by the dish and answer every review in your own name

A one-star rating arrives, you do not see it for a day, and when you do there is nowhere sensible to reply. A business that never answers reads as a business that does not care. A rating from a night you were closed does the same damage as a fair one.

Many food businesses are rated on Mosey before the owner has signed in. Claiming the listing is free, and it puts you in charge of what people see and how you answer.

Search for your business by name and town, confirm it is yours and sign in. The listing already holds what Mosey knows, so you correct it rather than start over. Add your hours, a cover photo, your best dishes and a couple of lines about what you cook.

A photo of your paper menu gets the dishes in fast. Read every price before you publish.

Diners rate the dish they ate and add a photo. One well-rated plate can bring in someone who has never heard of you, because they searched for the dish. A score out of five tells a kitchen little. A photo of the poutine and what the diner said about it tells you what to keep on the menu.

Open the reviews list, read what the guest said and reply under your business name. Thank them, say what you will do, and offer to talk by message. The next person deciding where to eat reads the reply as well as the rating.

You cannot delete a rating, and nobody can pay to hide one, which is why guests trust them. A rating that breaks the rules, such as abuse or a rating from someone who was never there, can be reported for moderation.

Mosey Gold is an earned mark from ratings alone, so it cannot be bought, boosted or paid for. Mosey picks are lists built from guest ratings of what they ate, and a pick is published only when it holds at least three businesses.

What Mosey is about

• Affordable tools for food businesses

  Tools priced for independents and small chains, not for the big groups.

• A full suite, in one login

  The tools a restaurant, café or bar needs sit together, so you are not paying for a stack of separate subscriptions.

• You keep more of your revenue

  Mosey is built so that more of every sale stays with the business that made it.

• Free to list and claim

  Your menu, your replies to guests and your photos cost nothing to put on Mosey.

• No hidden fees

  What Mosey charges is published, in full, so nothing arrives as a surprise on a statement.

• Made for local food businesses

  Mosey helps diners find independent food businesses by dish and mood, and lets people rate what they actually ate.
