# ILoveAU for Restaurants, wineries and food experiences > Put your venue in front of visitors deciding where to eat and drink — and send them to your own booking page. ILoveAU helps Australian restaurants, cafés, wineries, breweries and food experiences reach travellers deciding where to eat and drink. A free listing makes your venue discoverable in ILoveAU's AI-powered trip planning; referrals send diners to your own reservation or booking page; and an AI Guide on your website answers menu, dietary, group and opening-hours questions any time of day. ## Common challenges - **Invisible to visitors.** Travellers default to whatever ranks first nearby, not the venue locals would recommend. - **Menu and dietary questions.** Gluten-free, kids' options, group sizes and opening hours arrive by phone during service. - **Quiet weekdays.** Visitor demand is there, but it doesn't reach you when tables are empty. ## Products ### AI Guide Answer menu, dietary, group and opening-hours questions without interrupting service.

No. ILoveAU sends travellers to your own reservation or booking page, so you keep control of tables, deposits and guest details. ### Can wineries and breweries list tastings and tours? Yes. Cellar doors, tastings, brewery tours and food experiences can all be listed so travellers can find the experience they want. ### Can the AI Guide answer dietary questions? It answers from the menu and dietary information you approve. Anything not covered can be directed to your team. ### What's the difference between the AI Guide and Discovery & Booking Referrals? The AI Guide is a local guide that runs on your own website and answers your visitors' questions. Discovery & Booking Referrals is about being found on ILoveAU and sending travellers to your website. They are separate products: buying an AI Guide plan does not buy featured placement on ILoveAU or guarantee that ILoveAU's own AI recommends your business. ### Does the AI Guide only help visitors who come from ILoveAU? No. The AI Guide is embedded on your website and helps the visitors already arriving there, so its value does not depend on traffic from ILoveAU. ### What content can the AI Guide use? Your approved website pages, PDFs, FAQs, policies and visitor information, enriched with relevant local tourism data. Each plan sets how many pages and documents can be indexed. ### How are AI answers counted? Each reply the AI Guide gives a visitor counts as one AI answer. Your plan sets how many answers are included each month. ### Can I change my AI Guide plan later? Yes. Talk to our team and we'll move you to the plan that fits how your website is being used. ### How is the AI Guide added to my website? The AI Guide is provided as an embeddable website widget. Our team helps configure its approved content and appearance, then supports your team through setup and launch. ### What is included in setup and launch? We agree the content sources and visitor use cases, configure the guide for your brand and approved website domains, test representative questions and support your team with the website embed. The exact scope is confirmed for your plan before work begins. ### What reporting is available? The workspace shows usage, frequently asked questions, unanswered questions and the content sources supporting answers. These insights help your team close information gaps and improve the visitor experience over time. ### What control do we have over content and visitor data? You choose the approved content sources and website domains for the guide, can review content before it is used and can manage retention settings for conversations and form submissions in your workspace. Data handling and governance requirements are confirmed during setup. ### What happens when the AI Guide cannot answer confidently? The AI Guide is designed to answer from the sources you approve. Questions that are not covered can be directed to your team or captured as an enquiry, depending on your setup. ### Do prices include GST? No. All prices are in Australian dollars and exclude GST. ### How are booking referrals charged? A standard ILoveAU listing is free. When an eligible ILoveAU referral results in a completed booking, ILoveAU charges a 8% referral commission. Your business takes the booking and the traveller's payment directly. ### What does AI Visibility Consulting involve? We review how AI search experiences currently understand your business, then recommend and help implement improvements to your content, structured data and other signals that answer engines rely on (often called AEO or GEO). ### Which businesses can partner with ILoveAU?
