Editorial Policy

Restaurant Tech Radar is built to help restaurant operators evaluate AI, automation, and software with less noise.

Research standard

Each issue is built from a research packet before drafting. We review a broad mix of vendor documentation, pricing pages, product updates, trade coverage, public data, operator pain signals, and independent commentary. Important claims are checked against primary sources where possible and softened or held back when confidence is low.

Plain English: we are not trying to publish the most links. We are trying to do the cross-source reading operators do not have time to do, then turn it into a short, practical decision brief.

Claims and corrections

We avoid invented traction claims, fabricated case studies, unsourced ROI claims, stale pricing, and unsupported rankings. Vendor pricing, features, integrations, and availability can change quickly, so operators should verify details directly before buying.

If we get something wrong or a vendor detail changes, email hello@restauranttechradar.com. Corrections should be visible and tied to the affected issue or resource.

Sponsorship and independence

Sponsored content must be clearly labeled and must fit the operator audience. Sponsorship can buy placement, not a favorable verdict, ranking, or editorial coverage. Sponsor claims are not treated as proof unless independently verified or clearly attributed.

Human review

We use research-assisted workflows and human review. Final editorial judgment, sponsor acceptance, vendor conclusions, and public claims require human approval.
