What is the difference between the public and private owner profiles?

The public profile supports public discovery. The private owner profile description says the member does not want a public personal profile.

Does the profile replace the business listing?

No. The profile identifies the member. The business listing represents the restaurant, food truck, vendor, venue or other organization.

Can an employee manage a listing?

Only when the business has authorized that person and the platform relationship supports the management role.

Can one owner manage multiple listings?

The appropriate listing plan and permissions determine how many locations and listings can be managed. Review the current pricing and account options.

Where should I start?

Choose the correct owner profile, register, then create or claim the authorized business listing and complete the most important public information first.

Own the relationship between identity and business presence

Create a Business Owner profile that can connect you to the listings you are authorized to manage.

Use a public owner profile when your role should be discoverable. Use a private owner profile when you need owner and listing-management access without a public personal user listing.

A strong owner profile can become the trusted identity behind accurate listings, media, events, offers and ongoing business updates.

Why this matters

Customers see the listing. BISTRO BUDDY needs a trusted person behind the information.

The Business Owner profile gives owners and authorized managers a clear community identity that can support listing claims, updates, media, events, offers and other business activity.

Public owner visibility

Build a discoverable owner identity that can strengthen trust, networking and community recognition.

Private owner access

Manage participation without appearing in public user listings when a private personal identity is the better fit.

Authorized listing relationships

Connect only businesses you own or are authorized to manage, then keep their information accurate and useful.

Connected profile growth

Turn the owner profile into the control point for a living business presence.

Connect an authorized listing, improve categories and descriptions, add useful photos and videos, publish events and offers, respond to opportunities and keep contact details current. The profile identifies the person; the listing represents the business.
