Gastrovote is a platform where individuals can vote or request their favorite food chains, franchises or grocery stores to open in their town or neighborhood. It was created to give communities a voice in attracting popular franchises while helping businesses, investors, and franchise owners make data-driven decisions about where their businesses are most desired.

Users can search for their favorite franchises on our website, vote for the ones they’d like to see in their area, or suggest new ones if they’re not listed. We compile and display voting results to showcase demand by location.

No, you can vote for as many chains as you’d like. However, you can only cast one vote per chain per town or neighborhood to ensure fairness.

No, Gastrovote is an independent platform. We are not affiliated with any of the businesses, franchises, or chains listed on our website. We act as a community-driven service to collect and showcase demand data.

Requiring registration with a valid email helps us maintain the accuracy and integrity of votes by preventing fake or duplicate submissions. This ensures that the voting data reflects genuine community demand. Rest assured, we will never spam you and your email will only be used for account-related purposes.

Absolutely! If your favorite chain or franchise isn’t listed, you can submit a request for us to add it and others can start voting for it.

Each town with at least 1 vote has a unique page showing all voting results. You can share the link with friends, neighbors, or on social media to encourage more votes!
