Places Search

Picking a restaurant for a team lunch, client dinner, or unfamiliar city is harder than it should be. You want real ratings, current hours, cuisine type, and a price sense — but app discovery usually means scrolling past ads and sponsored results before you find something trustworthy.

The search_places and nearby_places skills return business listings with ratings, addresses, phone numbers, and hours pulled from structured location data. You can filter by cuisine, distance, or type and get a clean shortlist without the noise of consumer apps.

Restaurant scouts, office managers planning team events, and travellers in new cities all use this to make faster, better-informed choices without opening multiple apps.
