Editorial Policy & Data Sources
Accurate information is the whole point of AuRest. This page explains where our data comes from and how we keep it current.
Data sources
- Venue locations, addresses, opening hours, cuisine and amenities are compiled from OpenStreetMap, an open, community-maintained map database (© OpenStreetMap contributors, available under the Open Database Licence).
- Photos are sourced from the venues' own public websites and channels. Venues can ask us to replace or remove photos at any time.
- Menu guides describe dishes typical of each cuisine to help diners plan. They are clearly labelled as indicative and are not a venue's official menu or pricing — we always link to official menus when available.
- Popular times are estimates based on typical visit patterns for each type of venue and its opening hours. They are not live measurements.
- Reviews are not collected or published by AuRest. We link to established review platforms instead.
