Editorial Policy

BROKEN MOUTH publishes restaurant information to help guests understand the menu, story, and visit details. Business facts and menu details must be checked against the restaurant’s records or confirmed by a responsible team member before publication.

How content is made

First-hand restaurant content should come from owner or team interviews, kitchen observation, approved original photographs, or maintained business records. Cultural or historical claims should use reliable primary or expert sources and clearly distinguish broader context from this restaurant’s own experience.

Authorship and review

Only verified real people receive personal bylines or biographies. Until an individual author is confirmed, restaurant-authored material is attributed to BROKEN MOUTH. A responsible human must perform the final factual review. The site does not describe content as expert-reviewed unless a genuine reviewer is named.

AI assistance

AI tools may assist with outlining, editing, accessibility checks, or technical formatting. They must not invent facts, quotes, experiences, recipes, awards, or credentials. Human review and owner confirmation are required before first-hand editorial content is made indexable.

Sources, sponsorships, and updates

Sources should be linked near material claims where practical. Sponsored content must be clearly labelled and kept editorially distinct from advertising. An updated date is changed only after a material revision.
