When someone asks AI where to eat, is it your restaurant?

AI visibility is how easily AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, and Google AI can find your restaurant, understand what you offer, and recommend you when someone asks where to eat. More diners now ask an assistant for a shortlist instead of scrolling search results. If the assistant cannot read your restaurant clearly, it recommends a competitor, and you never see the table you lost.

Most restaurants do not know, because assistants do not publish a ranking the way a search engine does. A free AI visibility check from Menu Visible asks the main assistants the dining questions your guests would ask, and shows you whether your restaurant comes up, how it is described, and which competitors are recommended ahead of you.

A social agency posts your specials and a classic SEO agency chases Google rankings. Neither checks whether an AI assistant can read your menu, your hours, and your reviews well enough to put you on a diner shortlist. Menu Visible works only on AI visibility for hospitality, so we focus on the exact signals that decide whether you are in the answer or left out of it.

We ask the main assistants how they answer local dining questions for your area, check the structure and content signals on your website, and look at how your menu, hours, and reviews appear to a machine. You receive a clear score, the gaps that hurt you most, and a short prioritised list of what to fix first. There is no obligation attached.

Usually not. Most of the work is making your existing site readable to assistants: adding valid schema for your menu and hours, shaping content around the questions diners ask, and cleaning up the review and listing signals that AI leans on. If your current site genuinely blocks that, we will tell you plainly rather than sell you a rebuild you do not need.
