Restaurant media kit

Reach Orlando visitors before they choose where to eat.

Stay Eat Orlando helps travelers pick restaurants by fit, logistics, price reality, and confidence, not generic hype. Restaurants can invite us for editorial consideration when they have a clear visitor story worth reviewing.

Monthly opportunity

Restaurant of the Month

Each month, one restaurant can be selected for a deeper feature when it meets the full review standard and gives Orlando visitors a useful decision angle. The best candidates are not just good restaurants; they solve a specific traveler problem.

We are most interested in restaurants that help visitors make better choices near Disney, Universal, International Drive, Lake Nona, the airport, Winter Park, downtown Orlando, and other trip hubs.

Restaurants may invite us for a hosted visit, tasting, or media meal. Selection remains editorial, and any hosted context is disclosed.

What restaurants get

A useful editorial package, not a vanity mention.

The point is to help the right visitor choose you for the right occasion. Coverage is built to answer the questions travelers ask before they reserve, drive, park, or bring a group.

Editorial restaurant profile

A practical review built around what Orlando visitors need to know: what to order, who it fits, who should skip it, and what the logistics feel like.

Monthly feature eligibility

Strong review candidates can be considered for Restaurant of the Month placement with homepage and featured-page visibility.

Guide consideration

Restaurants that solve a clear traveler problem may be considered for relevant area, hotel, Disney, Universal, I-Drive, or date-night guides.

Concrete visitor positioning

Coverage focuses on fit: families after a park day, couples, hotel guests, convention groups, locals hosting visitors, or another specific use case.

Photo and source handling

Official images, press assets, menus, reservation links, and parking details are recorded so factual claims and visuals can be verified.

Clear disclosure

Hosted meals, tastings, discounts, comps, and PR relationships are disclosed wherever they affect the published review context.

Editorial independence

Hosted visits are allowed. Editorial control is not for sale.

We can accept hosted meals, tastings, discounts, or media visits because they help us review more restaurants faster. That access does not buy approval, placement, score, ranking, or language.

If we publish a review after a hosted experience, the disclosure appears in the review context. Real caveats stay in the page because visitor trust is the asset.

How to make the pitch strong

Send the details that make a review useful.

A strong invitation explains why your restaurant belongs in a traveler decision. "Great food" is not enough; the useful pitch says who should choose you, when they should come, what they should order, and what friction they should expect.

We also need enough factual detail to verify the page: official menu links, reservation links, parking notes, media permissions, and a clear hosted or independent visit status.
