Zomato has introduced its Foodie Index, a service for other apps to help discover local restaurants.

Press Release

With the Foodie Index, Zomato uses its in-depth local restaurant information and user-generated content to calculate a score that indicates the quality of restaurants in a particular area. Travel and real estate platforms will find this particularly useful, enabling them to provide information on the quality of dining options in a particular neighbourhood by leveraging Zomato‘s location-based Foodie Index. Building on Zomato‘s exhaustive restaurant data, the Foodie Index aims to facilitate the decision-making process of people looking for apartments or hotels with great dining experiences just a short walk away.

Property portal CommonFloor is the first platform using the Zomato Foodie Index API. CommonFloor has made the FoodieIndex available across India in their Locality Map section to help users identify ideal neighbourhoods based on great places to eat at around them.

“Users will now be able to zero in on apartments and hotels in neighbourhoods where they can enjoy the best dining experiences a city has to offer. With the Foodie Index API, we’re making Zomato‘s rich content easily accessible and restaurant discovery incredibly easy. We’re constantly looking for ways to enrich dining experiences, and helping guide people to neighbourhoods that offer great food is a step further in that direction,” said Satyajeet Singh, vice-president, Products & Marketing, Zomato.
