The Malou alternative, simpler and with public pricing.
The same care for your Google profile, reviews and social media, with no quote, no dashboard to learn, and your daily special posted in 60 seconds from WhatsApp or ChatGPT. Plans from €49 excl. VAT per month, done-for-you service at €389, no commitment.
Malou and Plat du Jour both help restaurants look after their Google profile, reviews and social media. The difference: Malou works on a quote basis, around a dashboard; Plat du Jour publishes its prices (plans from €49 excl. VAT per month, done-for-you service at €389), posts your daily special in 60 seconds from WhatsApp, ChatGPT or Claude with no dashboard to learn, optimises the properties you own (Google profile, mini-site) and helps new customers discover you through its directory of more than 20,000 restaurants.
The real difference
Same goal, two philosophies.
More local visibility in both cases, but not in the same way.
We optimise what you own: your Google profile and your mini-site. It all stays yours, even if you leave.
No quote and no mandatory sales call: Essentiel €49, Pro €89, Premium €199 excl. VAT per month, or the done-for-you service at €389 if you’d rather delegate everything.
A photo on WhatsApp, or a sentence to ChatGPT or Claude, and your daily special is live on Google, Instagram and Facebook. No dashboard to learn.
Your restaurant appears in our public directory: more than 20,000 restaurants in nearly 1,000 towns. Customers find you, on top of Google.
