How to

Share a Restaurant Rating as a Picture on Mosey

Mosey · November 11, 2026 · 5 min read

You can share a restaurant rating as a picture in Mosey. The card leads with the photo you took and the dish you ate, then shows the place, the stars, the tags you chose and a short quote. It names you only when you are sharing your own rating, and it never draws a stock image of the place.

How do you share a restaurant rating as a picture?

Open a rating, either one you just posted or one in your profile, and tap the share button. From the share sheet, choose Share as image. The app builds the card, and you pick Story or Post, then Share image, Copy link or Share on social media. You can also send the rating to a friend inside the app, with an optional note, or pass it on in a message.

A nudge on a fresh rating reads "Your friends will find this useful," with a button to share it. You do not have to use it, and nothing is shared until you choose.

What is on the rating card?

The card is dish-led. If you took a photo, it leads the card, and it is your own photo, never one borrowed from the place. Below it comes the dish you rated, or the place if you did not name a dish. Then the place name, your stars, up to four tags and a short quote from your rating, plus up to three more dishes.

Everything on the card comes from the rating, and nothing is drawn that the shared page would not show. A card for a rating with no photo is a clean text card, and a card for a rating with several dishes shows the best first.

Does the card use your own photo and name?

Only when you are the one sharing your own rating. The card carries the author's public name in that case, and it never names the author of someone else's rating. If you would rather not appear, share a link or a picture from someone else's rating without a name, since that card leaves the byline off.

Why is the card dish-led?

Because a dish is what a friend can act on. "Five stars for the mushroom toast" tells them what to order, while "five stars for a cafe" tells them very little. A dish-led card also reads well at a glance in a group chat, where a photo and one dish name do more than a paragraph of review. The guide to rating a dish explains why the habit is worth building.

What photo works best?

A close, well-lit shot of the plate, taken before the first bite. The card crops a photo to fit the top of the picture, so a plate that fills the frame reads better than a table full of people. If you have several photos on a rating, the first one leads, so put your favorite first. A photo of the place's sign or a stock image will not do the work a plate does, and the card only draws your own photo anyway.

What should you write in the quote?

A short, specific line. "Order it with the extra chili" is better than "Great food." The card shows only a short quote, so the first sentence of your note is what people see. Put the useful part first, and save the longer story for the full rating.

Which tags show on the card?

The tags you chose when you rated, up to four. Tags are what you thought, such as Date Night, Hidden Gem or a cuisine, and each is one diner's note, not a promise from the place. A tag on the card helps the friend who reads it decide whether the place suits their evening. If you tagged people you ate with, they can add their own rating of the same meal, and a tag on the card for the occasion helps them remember it.

How is a picture different from a link?

A picture is quick and public-friendly, since it carries the main point on its own. A link opens the full rating, with every dish and the place's page. The card includes a link back too, so a friend who likes what they see can tap through. Use the picture for the feed and the link for a person you are talking to directly.

Rating, then sharing, is also the easiest way to bring a friend into the app. The live rating guide shows how to capture a meal while it is fresh, so the card is ready before the plates are cleared.

When the visit was a bad one and you would rather say it in words. A card is built for recommendations: a photo, a dish and stars. A rating that is low can still be shared, but a longer note is often kinder and clearer, and the link opens the full rating. You can also keep a rating private to your profile and share nothing. Nothing is shared unless you choose to share it.

Does sharing a rating help the place?

Yes, and it is free. A card from a friend carries more weight than any advertisement, and Mosey is free for a place to list, has no hidden fees and keeps its tools affordable, so the place keeps more of what a recommendation brings. It is supporting local in one tap. The ratings feature page explains how ratings work, and the US food guides have more ideas.

Post a rating in the Mosey app, tap Share as image and send the card to the friend who should try the dish.

Questions

Common questions

  • How do I share a rating as an image on Mosey?

    Open the rating, tap the share button and choose Share as image. Pick Story or Post, then tap Share image, Copy link or Share on social media. The card leads with your photo and the dish, then shows the place, your stars, up to four tags and a short quote.

  • Does the rating card show my name?

    Only if you are sharing your own rating. Then the card carries your public name. It never names the author when you share someone else's rating. The card also draws only your own photo, never a stock picture of the place, so it shows what you actually saw.

  • What if my rating has no photo?

    The card is still drawn. Without a photo, it becomes a clean card that leads with the dish, or the place if you did not name a dish, then your stars, tags and a short quote. Adding a photo when you rate gives the card more to show.

  • Can I send a rating to one friend instead?

    Yes. The share sheet has a row of people you can send it to, with an optional note, and with one person chosen you can send it in a message instead. Those people are mutual follows with no block either way, so a rating only reaches someone you are connected to.

  • What's an app to share my restaurant ratings and photos with friends?

    Mosey is a food app for rating places and dishes and sharing them with friends. Share a rating as a picture or a link, follow friends to see what they rate and save, rate by the dish, keep lists you can share, and add tags so each rating says why it stood out.
