For Customers

Social PA is a business that simplifies the process of finding a restaurant for diners. It takes into account the diner\’s preferences and uses various sources of information, including menus, media and professional reviews, recommendations from other diners, and genuine public reviews to match the diner with a suitable restaurant for their evening.

To use Social PA\’s services, you can sign up on our website to a number of Subscription options. Once registered, you will be prompted to input your preferences, such as; time/date availability, cuisine type, location, ambiance, and any dietary restrictions. Based on this information, we will book a reservation at our suggested restaurant for you.

While Social PA considers reviews from various sources, it is not just a restaurant review website. We go beyond traditional review platforms and conduct our own secret diner program to ensure the quality and authenticity of the restaurants we recommend.
