How SpoonIndex captures, validates, visualizes, and exports restaurant market data.
The SpoonIndex methodology is designed to make restaurant data useful for business decisions while preserving the raw source-level evidence behind every branch and menu row.
Capture restaurant signals
Collect brands, branches, menus, prices, ratings, coordinates, status observations, and images.
Preserve source identity
Keep source_platform, source_brand_id, and source_branch_id so data remains auditable.
Validate and publish snapshots
Review imported data before it becomes visible in the workspace.
Group for analytics only
Repeated menu items can be grouped in the UI without merging raw branch-level rows.
Visualize the market
Explore brands, branches, menus, maps, shared coordinates, and competition.
Export by permission
Download CSV/menu data only when company and user permissions allow it.
Track change over time
Use published snapshots and history views to understand market movement.
Governance principle
Raw records stay intact.
Platform names and marks belong to their respective owners and are used solely for factual source identification — no partnership or endorsement is implied.
SpoonIndex can summarize and group repeated menu items for analytics, but the branch-level records remain available for audit, export, and source review.
