BooRah!: Consumers Say Yay or Nay to Local Restaurants Online
BooRah, a personalized restaurant review website, covers over 3,000 cities and 225,000 restaurants across the United States. It aggregates local restaurant information from bloggers, professional critics and consumers, calling itself a ‘one-stop destination’ of local restaurant information. We haven’t heard much about BooRah from a restaurant owner’s perspective but would be interested if anyone has had any experiences with it. It seems they enable restaurant owners to track their online reputation, as well as add discounts, content, menus and other information to the site.
“BooRah recently introduced additional features that enable restaurateurs to upload their own information to the site including discount coupons, menus and pictures. BooRah provides comprehensive local coverage without the need for reviewers and editors. The rankings and summaries for restaurants generated by BooRah’s semantic technology are comparable or better than Zagat’s while providing a 5-fold increase in coverage. BooRah also offers a bookmarking feature to share one’s favorite restaurants with friends and family by linking on popular social sites such as StumbleUpon, Reddit, Del.icio.us and Digg.”
