Frequently asked questions

How often are specials checked?▾

Checked regularly, not just once -- every listing shows the date it was last verified right on the card, so you can judge freshness for yourself instead of taking it on faith.

What if a listing is wrong or has ended?▾

Every card has a "Report incorrect" link. Flag it and it gets reviewed -- this site would rather show fewer things and have them be right than show everything and have some of it be wrong.

Is there a cost to use this?▾

No -- browsing specials, events, and the map is free for everyone.

Can I add a venue or special that's missing?▾

Yes -- use the submit page with a photo of the menu, chalkboard, or sign, and it goes through the same verification process as everything else before it goes live.
