How we collect it
- Times, deals and prices come from each venue's own website, menu PDF or menu photo. Each venue's page links to the exact source.
- Every source is re-checked every night, and every page here rebuilds with it.
- No venue pays to be listed, ranked or scored, and we don't use Google star ratings.
