We have introduced a new functionality which pings Google Places and obtains the Google Places ID, restaurant name, phone number, hours and address from google.
There is a new manner in which you can add restaurants through a search and find function where this places data will automatically fill out for you.
The system will run every week to find google places IDs for any restaurant profile which does not yet have one.
We plan to use this data to improve the data which we use to integrate with third parties such as Google and Apple.
No additional action is required by the client for this to take affect.
As you can see in Scribe process above, creating a restaurant with Normalized Merchant Info is extremely quick and easy and we hope this feature helps you have less headaches with naming mismatches and wrong addresses. If you experience any issues please let us know via a support ticket.
