Lodging Interactive, an award winning Interactive and Social Media Marketing Agency servicing the hospitality industry and the provider of Chatter GuardTM , the hospitality industry's leading social media monitoring service, announced today the launch of Chatter Guard Social Media Monitoring Services for the restaurant industry. Chatter Guard for Restaurants provides ongoing monitoring and service attribute scoring of user generated social media content and reviews.

"Since the introduction of Chatter Guard Social Media Monitoring services in 2005, we have successfully become the market leader within the hospitality vertical and it's now time to expand Chatter Guard into the restaurant vertical," said Mr. DJ Vallauri, Lodging Interactive's Founder & President. "Chatter Guard for Restaurants provides the same proprietary monitoring technologies combined with human review and attribute scoring services our hotel clients have come to depend upon when seeking to improve their operational efficiencies."

Chatter Guard for Restaurants includes ongoing monitoring of major restaurant review sites as well as blogs, bulletin boards and social media sites. Chatter Guard for Restaurants monitors the following sites, as well as many others:

● Open Table
● Urban Spoon
● ZAGAT
● Yelp!
● TripAdvisor
● Dine.com
● Dishola.com
● Fodor's
● Frommers

Chatter Guard utilizes proprietary technologies and scours the web to find restaurant related user generated content and reviews. It then processes and filters all reviews via a human review process and provides service level attribute scoring only a human can provide. Attribute scoring consists of Food, Service, Atmosphere, Noise Level and Value.

"While our competitors provide automated reporting and review sentiment scoring, Chatter Guard is still the only service which breaks down each sentence of a review and has a comprehensive human review and service attribute scoring process," added Mr. Vallauri. "It is this precise information that restaurants can use to improve their own service levels."
