How ZOOTOUT is different from others?

The U.S.P. of Zootout.com lies in providing not only quality information, but also on providing- Specialty. It is all about recommending visitors on- ‘What is good at a particular place?’ The answer could be- ambience, chef, dish, service or any unique thing that that place has. We at Zootout believe that Scanned Menu’s & Ambiguous Reviews act more to confuse visitors, rather than providing them useful solutions. And so, we are focusing severely on providing them information that they actually need, i.e.- “What is special in the restaurant they are visiting to?” We are quite successful in implementing this through our feature Guide. And we must say, we are getting quite positive response from website visitors.
