Uber has created a new restaurant guide that used user-submitted reviews on Yelp and hopes to put together data to determine each city’s most popular restaurants. To create the ‘Best Of’ lists, the company looked at most requested rides to restaurants by users. Areas that receive high volume requests on weekends helped to create the top 10 brunch spots whereas the best fine dining establishments were where UberBlack or UberSelect riders frequented. The most interesting of lists was the ‘Local Favourites’ that identifies restaurants and cafes where the same rider repeatedly visits. Lists will be adjusted frequently alongside trip data changes. Restaurant guides from Uber are currently only available in 12 US cities.
