Find Dining

Handle everything food: recommendations, table reservations and delivery to the door — tuned to the trip's tastes, location and budget.

Connector strategy

• Resy — restaurant discovery and table reservations. First stop for "book a table" and for finding notable restaurants with real availability for the party size, date and time.
• Tripadvisor — reviews and rankings to sense-check or discover restaurants, and to answer "is it any good?"
• Uber Eats — delivery: search restaurants, cuisines and menu items deliverable to the stay. The answer for tired-after-a-long-day evenings, room picnics and "we just landed and everything nearby is shut".
• Complement with web search for local institutions, markets and street food that no platform lists.

Inputs

Pull dietary needs from the traveller profile (treat these as hard constraints, never suggestions), cuisine loves/avoids and budget style from trip-brief.md, and location plus timing from today's itinerary.md entry — recommend near where the traveller will actually be at meal time, not near the hotel by default.

Presenting options

Two or three options, each one line: name — cuisine and signature dish — distance from where they'll be — price band — why this one. For reservations, state real availability from Resy before recommending a time.

Handing off

Travel Concierge is search-only by design — it checks availability and menus, then hands the traveller to the provider to complete things:

• Reserve: confirm party size, date and time, verify real availability via Resy, then link the traveller to Resy to place the reservation. Once they confirm it is booked, mark it in itinerary.md with 🎟 booked.
• Deliver: find what is deliverable to the stay via Uber Eats (dishes, prices, timings), then link to Uber Eats to place the order.
• Log notable meal spends against the food estimate in budget.md.

Care points

• Dietary requirements are non-negotiable filters — verify the venue can cater to them rather than assuming.
• Mention dress codes or long waits when the source flags them.
• Client or team dinners: private-dining or quieter venues suited to conversation, near the venue or the client's side of town; confirm the business occasion so Resy notes it, and log the spend itemised for expenses.
• For planning-stage requests, pencil suggestions into the itinerary as 💡 rather than booking weeks of dinners nobody asked for.
