Our mechanism for listing  Restaurants as Information Only profiles does not follow our normal format for other business types. 

Information Only profiles give the business only one category and one trade area. 

Presentation for Restaurants would have to list cuisines and that would mean that some restaurants may have up to 20 subcategories just to give that restaurant an accurate presentation of that restaurant.  Unfortunately, because there are thousands of restaurants in Canada we will not be able to list all of them unless they apply for account status. 

Restaurants in one city may be in close proximity to restaurants in other cities and the consumer should be able to view all their options.   As a result, some restaurants may be listed in several other trade areas as an Information Only profile.  Restaurants with account status will be listed according to the trade areas allowed or their subscription type.  

The restaurant may be listed in our database according to the composite review of all their review sites.  Not all restaurants will have a composite review unless they have account status.  See our Business Order of Display. 

Each account type gives the Restaurant more presentation options just like other business types.  Trade areas and Categories will not be one of them as the restaurant will automatically retain what is listed as an Information Only profile

The Site automatically reduces the subscription to an Information Only profile should the subscription be cancelled.  The business may also be archived.  See When We Archive a Business.

Our mechanism for listing Hotels as Information Only profiles does not follow our normal format for other business types. 

Information Only profiles give the business only one category and one trade area. 

Presentation for Hotels would have to list room and hotel amenities and that would mean that some hotels may have up to 40 subcategories just to give that hotel an accurate presentation of that property.  In some areas of Canada, we have listed Information Only profiles for this business category.

Unfortunately, because there are thousands of hotels in Canada we will not be able to list all of them unless they apply for account status. 

Hotels in one city may be in close proximity to restaurants in other cities and the consumer should be able to view all their options.    We have done this in selected areas. Moving forward hotels will need account status and trade assignments are according to subscription type.  See our business order of display. 

The Hotel may be listed in our database according to the composite review of all their review sites. will need account status.  

Each account type gives the hotel more presentation options just like other business types.  Trade areas and Categories will not be one of them as the hotel will automatically retain what is listed as an Information Only profile. 

The Site automatically reduces the subscription to an Information Only profile should the subscription be cancelled.  The business may also be archived.  See When We Archive a Business.

The Site allows the business owner to place content on the profile. Any content that is not true is a violation of our Site. 

A business owner has the ability to place business credentials about their business. If a business owner selected a credential that was untrue it is a violation of our Site.   As an example, if the business owner indicated they were licensed and they were discovered in a complaint they were not, that would be giving false information. 

A business owner that posts reviews that they initiated as reviews from customers would be giving false information. 

We place a one year alert on the business, after which we archive the business from the Site. 

In Canada, there seems to be a general consensus that a business should only advertise under their registered name, and obtain licensing for their municipal town or city. 

Certain categories of businesses need additional licensing dependent on the services they are providing. The following gives the business owner information where they can seek more information.  The information belongs to those websites. 

It should be noted that Bizpal is highlighted as a resource in more than one province. That particular site highlights requirements for various categories and municipalities. Bizpal
