Fill the tables sitting empty tonight.
It’s 6pm. A family two miles from your door is hungry, scrolling their phone, asking “where should we eat?” Captain’s Pick puts your name at the top of their screen — not the chain down the highway.
The top dining slot in your town is open right now.
No card required. See your own views and booking taps before you pay anything.
Built for Shore crab houses, oyster bars, and family tables from Rehoboth to Chincoteague.
Problem
You’ve got the best crab cakes on the peninsula. The problem isn’t your kitchen — it’s the five minutes between “we’re hungry” and the reservation that goes somewhere else.
Your Facebook post reaches people who already know you. Google buries you under chains with ad budgets. TripAdvisor is a lottery you can’t control. Meanwhile a couple pulling off Route 50 opens our app, checks what’s nearby, scrolls to restaurants — and taps the first name they see.
They didn’t choose them over you. They never saw your hours, your specials, or your steamed-crabs sign.
Solution — Three Things Captain’s Pick Does
📍Top of “Nearby Businesses”
When someone is within a few miles of your door, you’re the first restaurant on their home screen. The digital version of having the best-lit sign on the main drag — except they see it before they even turn onto your road.
💬 Inside the local conversation
When someone posts “where’s good for steamed crabs tonight?” or “kid-friendly dinner near the beach?” in the community feed, your listing surfaces to users in your radius — at the exact moment they’re deciding.
🔔A shoutout when the kitchen’s ready
Push one message a month to nearby phones: “🦀 Soft shells just in — [Your Place] has tables tonight. 1.5 miles away.” You pick the night. We deliver it to hungry phones near your door.
Also included: Custom map pin with your logo and menu link · 0% commission tap-to-call · Pinned above every $49 listing in your town

FAQ
Good — this catches the Tuesday you had six empty booths and the shoulder-season couple who didn’t know you were open past Labor Day. Those are the tables that don’t walk in on their own.
