A lot of apps may provide restaurant search, but the updated YP℠ app for iPhone delivers a deeper restaurant search experience like attribute ratings, reviews and deals/savings. Now, with the updated YP℠ app, users can search menus to find the perfect dish they’re in the mood for.
How does it work? It’s easy. Just tap on Help me find a restaurant button on the home page to search menus for specific dishes and items. Maybe you’re in the mood for waffles or maybe you’re hungry for burritos. By tapping on Menu Items, you can now expand your search to find your favorite dish. The YP℠ app does the work by searching through 300,000+ menus from local restaurants nearby finding the “best” restaurant to fit the consumers needs based on price, cuisine, ambience, ratings, and location.
The updated app also allows users to upload and view photos, which can give folks more information on businesses. Let’s say you were hungry for waffles and found a cool diner where they serve delicious waffles 24/7. Why not take a picture of the waffles or the interior of the diner? As we mentioned in an earlier post, the photo upload is not just for restaurants. Upload photos of all types of local businesses while checking out photos uploaded by other users. Whether it’s a sleek salon, eccentric antiques store or a really impressive bike store you recently visited, snap those photos and upload them. Just make sure you read the YP.com terms and conditions for photos.
