Fill Seats. Boost Business. Free to Join.

TastePro allows people to visit multiple restaurants, one after another, trying the best of each place at a fraction of the price, in a fraction of the time. Our walkable, self-guided food tours allow guests to visit four iconic restaurants, ranging from award-winning haute spots to locals-only hidden gems. Each dining destination serves a tasting menu, or a collection of signature dishes in smaller-size portions.

TastePro is based on the age-old concept of food tours, spectacular experiences that have operated in cities across the world for decades. Food tours allow locals and travelers alike to taste the best restaurants in town, where they often return for full visits in the future.

TastePro was designed with restaurant owners and staff in mind, and provides tremendous benefits that directly boost sales and profit without disrupting your regular operations:

• Bring new customers through your doors, with every visit turning a profit and high conversion for repeat business
• Upsell automatically to increase average check
• Get discovered by new crowds without lifting a finger, benefitting from our extensive partnership network

TastePro is free to join and simple to use. Get set up in minutes and train staff in seconds, with no apps or tablets involved.

TastePro was designed by independent restaurant owners, for independent restaurant owners. We made it free to join and incredibly easy to use, requiring just minutes to get set up and no changes to your day-to-day operations.

Here’s how TastePro works for restaurants:

1. Email us at Info@GoTastePro.com.
2. We’ll follow up with a form, phone call or visit to get your tasting menu, price and other details
3. We’ll create at least one tour that features your restaurant, along with three other destinations near you
4. After a quick training process, customers can begin booking tours with your restaurant
5. Booked customers present a confirmation email upon arrival for staff to verify. Parties are typically 2 – 4 people
6. Staff serve each group as they would any other customer
7. TastePro will issue payment shortly afterward

That’s right! We take care of all setup for you, and have a 1-minute instructional video that covers everything front-of-house staff need to greet and serve TastePro guests. This video is also linked to every guest’s confirmation email, so even new staff can learn on the spot if needed.

TastePro is designed to have little-to-no impact on your regular operations. There are only a few things to take into account:

• Since customers pre-pay for their tour and TastePro pays you directly, your staff won’t have to issue a bill to TastePro guests, unless they order additional food and drink during their visit
• Since tasting menu portions are smaller than normal, your kitchen staff should be trained in how to prepare those orders

TastePro is currently operational in select pockets of Southern California, with significant expansion forthcoming. If you're located outside Southern California, we'd still like to hear from you. Email us at Info@GoTastePro.com

TastePro guests are a mix of tourists and locals, with a shared love of great food. Their goal is to discover new restaurants and return to their favorite places over and over again.

TastePro groups closely resemble what you see with standard guests. Expect most party sizes of 2 – 4, with larger groups on occasion.

TastePro is designed to bring in new customers without affecting your existing business. People typically go on food tours to discover new restaurants, rather than visit places they’ve already been.

Yes, TastePro is completely free to join. There are no membership fees, subscription fees, or any other out-of-pocket expenses, making TastePro a risk-free experience.

TastePro doesn’t require any hardware or technology, making it very simple to use and possible to work with virtually all restaurants, regardless of your POS system, reservation system or any other platform.

TastePro welcomes independent restaurants of all types, spanning casual to fine dining, quick service to full service and cuisines from across the world. Bars and other drink-forward establishments are equally welcome to list on TastePro.

Partners should be located in highly-trafficked areas with multiple restaurants within walking distance of one another. Multi-unit concepts are allowed if they’re unique to the area they serve. All partners are required to have valid licenses, permits and health inspection records.

Booking a TastePro tour resembles a typical online shopping experience. Guests browse tours in their desired area, choose their favorite, then enter their tour date and party size. They’ll also be able to add drinks and other add-ons at applicable restaurants. They’ll then complete payment on TastePro, which includes tax and tip at each stop, and receive a confirmation email shortly thereafter.

You’ll receive a confirmation email anytime someone books a tour with your restaurant. This email is just for you to keep for your records. No action is needed on your end.

TastePro guests will present their confirmation email for staff to verify upon arrival. This acts as their ticket to show they’ve pre-paid, and includes details such as their tour date, group size and any drinks or other add-ons they selected when booking.

TastePro guests should be treated as walk-ins. As long as they arrive during a valid time, you should seat them at the next available table. If no tables will be available for an extended period, you should ask them to return at later time or offer to treat their visit as a to-go order.

If your restaurant is consistently full during specific times, such as weekend nights, we recommend blocking off those hours.

Guests will access their tasting menus on their phones once seated. There’s no need to provide menus unless requested.

You’re in total control of your prices, menu and all other details. You can edit any part of your listing anytime. 

Tasting menus typically feature a selection of signature items served in smaller portions. Many restaurants list 5 – 6 options, with guests ordering 2 – 3 items each, though this can vary based on your menu and operational needs.

Tasting menu items should be representative of your restaurant as well as easy to execute in smaller portions back-of-house. Slider-sized burgers, single tacos and half-size pastas are a few examples of tasting menu choices.

Dessert and drink-forward establishments typically serve standard items in full-sized portions.

Guests visit four restaurants on most tours, typically with one drink or dessert stop. Unless you’re serving only drinks or dessert, we recommend that your tasting menu equates to ~1/3 of a full meal. 

Guests will see whether your tasting menu accommodates common diets and allergies prior to booking. Guests may also specify any allergies and dietary restrictions once seated, so you can address these issues in the same way as with standard guests. 

Yes, you can include on your tasting menu, whether alcoholic or nonalcoholic. You can also list drinks separately as upsell items, which guests can choose to add upon booking.

Yes, guests can order from your standard menu while on a TastePro tour. Simply charge them for those items as you would any other guest.

You will be paid out if a guest no-shows. Think of a TastePro booking link a concert ticket: if you miss the concert, you can’t get a refund or use the ticket in the future.

Guests can receive a refund if they cancel with enough advance notice. You will be notified if a guest cancels their booking. You can find our full refund policy here.

Expected duration is the average amount of time that guests will spend at your restaurant during their TastePro tour. This mostly includes time to get seated, place orders, enjoy the tasting menu and savor the moment after finishing. Expected duration helps guests plan logistics around their tour.

Most restaurants have an expected duration of ~25 minutes, with some full-service restaurants lasting longer and some fast-casual restaurants taking less time.

While we don’t anticipate TastePro guests lingering longer than desired, we’ve created an optional time limit policy that outlines how long TastePro guests can spend at your restaurant during their tour.

Your time limit should always be longer than your expected duration, so guests should never feel rushed. You will be responsible for enforcing your time limit in the unlikely event that a TastePro guest stays for too long.
