Venue Check
A private check, then a clear plan
We visit as a customer and check the public information diners find online. You receive a private report with practical priorities and a conversation about the next steps.
- A private written report with your top five priorities
- A 30-minute conversation about what to do next
- Further work is optional. Act on it yourself or use any provider.
We report on the guest experience, never on named staff, and we do not record anyone. We take on up to four Venue Checks each month.
01
Your guest experience
We visit as a customer and note how it feels to find you, be welcomed, order, wait and pay.
02
What diners find online
Your Google listing, website on a phone, menu, booking path and social pages: what is clear, and what is missing or out of date.
03
What search and AI answers say
We search for your venue on Google and in AI assistants, and record what they say on the day we check.
04
Photos and menu
Whether your photos and menu help diners choose you.
How it works
- 01
Tell us about your venue
Send an enquiry with your venue, what you would like checked and any dates that matter.
- 02
Get a written proposal
We reply with the scope, timing and total price.
- 03
Approve and we start
Nothing is booked until you agree the proposal in writing.
Every venue is different, so we price each job in a private written proposal.
Optional next steps
Fixes, photography and promotion
After a Venue Check, or on their own. We agree what is included in each written proposal.
Photos and video
Real photography and short vertical videos for your own website and social channels.
BFG Partner profile
A venue profile carrying BFG Partner and Sponsored Profile labels, with your approved photos and practical details. We agree any additional content and maintenance in your proposal.
Paid Promotion
An agreed promotion on our Instagram, TikTok or Facebook, clearly labelled as a paid partnership. Your proposal sets out the content, channels, timing and any advertising spend.
Commercial partners
Venues that pay for a Venue Check or other work have a commercial relationship with Brisbane Food Guide. Paid promotional content is labelled. If we independently cover a current paying client, we disclose that relationship.
Meet our BFG Partners ->When you book a Venue Check, a BFG Partner profile, a paid promotion or a content shoot, you help fund our independent visits, photography and reporting.
Never for sale
What stays independent
- Founder stories
- Independent recommendations and places in best-of guides
- Order in lists, maps and search results
- Editorial verdicts or removal of honest reporting
Visit status records a real visit. It is not a paid upgrade.

Listing submissions, factual corrections and founder-story pitches cost nothing. Founder stories are chosen independently by the editor.
Questions
Venue Checks and paid work, clearly explained
What is a Venue Check?
A private check of your venue as diners see it, in person and online. You receive a written report with your top five priorities and a 30-minute conversation about next steps.
Will you judge my staff?
No. We report on the guest experience, not on named staff. We do not record anyone, and one visit is a snapshot, not a verdict on your team.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the work. Tell us about your venue and we will send a written proposal with the total price before you book.
Do I have to buy anything after a Venue Check?
No. Further work is optional. You can act on the report yourself or use any provider.
Can I pay for a founder story?
No. The editor chooses founder stories independently. You are welcome to send us your story.
Can I pay to be in a best-of guide?
No. Those places are editorial choices.
Will paying change where I appear?
No. Payment does not change your position in our guides, lists, maps or search results.
How is paid work labelled?
BFG Partner profiles carry a visible Sponsored Profile label. Paid promotions carry a Paid partnership label. If a venue provides a meal or another benefit, we explain that with the content.
Can I update my details without paying?
Yes. Corrections to factual details, menus, hours, addresses and booking links are free.
Do you guarantee bookings or views?
No. We agree the work in writing, but results vary.
How do bookings and cancellations work?
We confirm deliverables, dates, the total price, content usage and cancellation terms in writing before you book. Nothing in our terms excludes rights that apply under Australian Consumer Law.
