Under the new partnership, when Local.com users search for restaurants in their neighborhoods, selected Restaurant.com listings will be displayed that contain much more detailed restaurant information, including reviews, locale and driving directions, cuisine type, signature dish and menu items, decor description, hours of operation, price ranges and more. Restaurant.com also offers dining certificates to Local.com users to assist restaurant owners with business generation. Restaurant.com regularly incorporates new information on 200 to 300 restaurants in their national dining network every month.
