TikTok Launches 'Must Eat' In-App Restaurant Guide to Compete with Yelp and Google Maps
TikTok has officially launched 'Must Eat,' a new in-app feature designed to transform the platform from a discovery tool into a functional dining guide. Leveraging 40 million existing posts, reviews, and comments, the feature allows users to browse restaurant recommendations via video, read crowdsourced reviews, search for nearby businesses on a map, and make reservations directly within the app. The service is categorized into 'everyday eats' and 'elevated dining,' providing filters for cuisine, rating, and distance. Initially rolling out in New York City, Los Angeles, and the Bay Area, Must Eat represents an expansion of TikTok's efforts to bridge the gap between digital content consumption and real-world commerce, following its earlier launch of hotel and attraction booking capabilities.
