What is Restaurant Award?
Restaurant Award provides data-driven restaurant rankings across the United States. Rather than publishing staff reviews, our rankings are powered by Beam Score — a composite metric that analyzes ratings, reviews, sentiment trends, data freshness, and competitive positioning across hundreds of thousands of restaurant venues.
How Beam Score Works
Every restaurant receives a Beam Score from 0 to 100, calculated from multiple data dimensions:
- Rating Score — rating quality and consistency
- Review Confidence — volume and recency of customer reviews
- Rating Health — stability and trend of ratings over time
- Data Freshness — how recently the venue's information was updated
For Restaurant Owners
Restaurant owners can claim their venue and subscribe for full access to their competitive intelligence report, including detailed competitor analysis, sentiment breakdowns, social benchmarks, and actionable improvement opportunities.
