## Summary

TikTok’s US business has launched Must Eat, a food discovery product designed to connect users with restaurants featured by food creators. The launch builds on the way TikTok trends can lead people to try places in real life, and gives the company another way to support creators and local businesses.

Must Eat is starting in New York, Los Angeles and the San Francisco Bay Area, with listings grouped into “Everyday Eats” and “Elevated Dining”. TikTok says more than 27 million Americans visited an independent restaurant, cafe or shop they had first discovered on the platform last year. OpenTable is helping users book tables at selected restaurants, and the product expands on TikTok’s travel-focused “Must GO”.
