Neighbour tip · 3-minute form

Got a spot your block already loves?

Pass it our way. Every tip lands with a volunteer moderator who lives in that city — they eat there themselves before we list it on Platefolk. Independents only: no chains, no franchise kitchens, no drive-thru counters.

Think of this as a tip jar for the places that feed your street.

the tip you give a neighbour
01
Drop the tip

Name, city, what you love. Roughly three minutes.

02
A neighbour picks it up

A city volunteer opens it within about two days.

03
They show up as a diner

Ordinary meal, no announcement, no free plate.

04
Live listing — or a clear no

Either way we email you the outcome and the why.

01 The spot

Name it and point us to the door.

Basics only — after a visit, the moderator adds photos, hours, and menu notes.

Handy if they have one — saves the moderator a scavenger hunt.

02 The feel

How does a night there land?

Choose up to four — it helps us place the tip in the right guide.

03 Why it sticks

What would make a stranger book tonight?

Specifics win. “The focaccia changes every week and they know your order by the third visit” lands harder than “really nice.”

One vivid story beats a grocery list of adjectives.

04 A snapshot helps

Anything already on your camera roll?

Up to three frames — phone snaps are fine. If it goes live, the moderator will shoot fresher ones.

05 How to reach you

Where should we send the verdict?

You’ll hear either way. If it goes live, the first fifty saves can come from your tip. If not, we’ll say why.

If you’re the owner, we’ll redirect you to the Claim a Listing flow instead.

We never pass your details to the restaurant

Thanks for looking out for your street.

Almost every Platefolk listing began as a short tip from a diner like you. The kitchens we care about are here because someone typed a name and pressed send.
