# The week on the blog

October 19, 2026 to October 25, 2026

Every post published on the blog that week, newest first, with its short answer.

## Posts this week

- **[Google Maps' first dining trends list: what it shows about how Maps reads restaurants](https://eaiservice.com/blog/google-maps-dining-trends-what-restaurants-can-use/)** Explainer · October 22, 2026 Google Maps' first Fan-Favorite Dining List, published October 8, 2026, ranks food trends and popular spots in 10 cities from reviews, ratings and direction searches. Froyo mentions in New York reviews rose 320% in a year, and dosa mentions in Seattle rose 136%. For a restaurant, the useful part is the method: Maps reads the dishes guests name in reviews and counts who asks for directions, and both show up in data you already have.
- **[CreatoRain vs Heepsy for restaurant chains: plans, caps and yearly costs compared](https://eaiservice.com/blog/creatorain-vs-heepsy-for-restaurant-chains-plans-caps-and-costs/)** Opinion · October 19, 2026 Heepsy is a self-serve search and outreach tool. Its paid plans run from $69 to $229 a month on yearly billing, and the brand pays creators itself. For a restaurant chain that wants videos made rather than a search tool to run, we'd pick CreatoRain over Heepsy. It charges $300 a video, the creator's pay included, with no monthly fee or minimum. A team that wants to search on its own may prefer Heepsy.
