# About Dish Directory

## What Dish Directory is

Dish Directory is a directory of restaurants. Each listing page shows what we know about one restaurant.

## Where the data comes from

We take records from the sources below.

- [Dish Directory seed data](https://dishdirectory.com/about). License: proprietary. Data updated by hand.

## A listing is a record, not an endorsement

A listing shows what we know about one restaurant. It does not mean that we recommend it.

## How a listing is checked

A listing needs its name, street address and category to appear in search engines. It also needs a completeness score of 60 out of 100.

Our team reviews each new listing before it goes live.

An owner proves control of a listing with an email address on the business domain or a manual check by our team.

An owner change to the name, phone, website, street address, address line 2, city, region, postal code and country goes to review before it shows.

## Claim or correct a restaurant
