Submit the Chugachew Review Application and our team films a mouth-watering live review inside your restaurant, then posts it to thousands of hungry locals across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube — and right inside the Chugachew app.
No retainer. No camera crew to hire. Just a scroll-stopping review made for the platforms your future regulars already live on.
A polished, authentic food review you keep and reuse forever across your own channels and website.
Posted to TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube — then surfaced to nearby users inside the Chugachew app.
Chugachew puts you in front of people deciding where to eat right now — not just passive scrollers.
Offer a Chugachew Passport deal and convert first-time viewers into repeat, paying customers.
You handle the food. We handle the cameras, the edit, and the reach.
Tell us about your spot, your signature dishes, and what makes you unforgettable.
If it's a match, lock in a filming slot that fits your schedule — right here via Calendly.
Our host captures an honest, hype-worthy review of your food, vibe, and team. No scripts.
We post everywhere and put you in front of nearby users. New customers walk through the door.
Real reviews, real reactions, real reach across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.
Videos load only when you click — keeping this page fast.
"The video hit 100K views in two days. We had people walking in quoting the host. Best free marketing we've ever done."
"Our weekend covers jumped noticeably after the post went live. The HotSpot placement keeps sending new faces every week."
"I was nervous about being on camera. Their host made it effortless and the edit made our food look incredible. Worth it 10x over."
Great food deserves to be seen. We earn from optional promotion boosts and HotSpot's venue platform — never from charging local restaurants to be reviewed.
The video, the edit, and the social posting cost you nothing. Ever.
You're never locked into a HotSpot plan to get your free review.
Optional boosts? We save your card securely and only charge once you approve a filming date.
Reuse your review video on your own menus, website, and channels forever.
Yes — being featured is 100% free. We make money from optional paid boosts and HotSpot's venue tools, not from reviewing your restaurant. There's no catch and no subscription required.
Not at all. An owner interview makes for a great segment, but it's optional. Plenty of our best reviews focus purely on the food and atmosphere.
After you apply, we review every submission and reach out via your preferred contact method. If it's a match, you pick a filming date right away. Need it fast? Rush posting gets your video live within 7 days of filming.
Comping the dishes we review on camera helps, but it's a conversation, not a requirement. Tell us what works for you in the application.
Never upfront. We securely save your card via Stripe and only charge add-ons after we accept your application and confirm your filming date. If we don't move forward, your card is never touched.
Takes about 5 minutes — and your progress saves automatically as you go. No payment required to apply.
Thanks for applying to be featured. We review every submission and will reach out via your preferred contact method. Keep an eye out!
