Turns a restaurant's scattered online signal into one clear, custom AI-visibility report.
Mik Atonio is the founder of Elev8ed Table, the AI-native restaurant intelligence layer for Southern California. She builds and runs the platform's AI-visibility audits — measuring how answer engines like ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, and Perplexity actually describe local restaurants, and diagnosing the structured-data gaps behind those answers. She runs the queries, reads the crawl data, and rebuilds the machine-readable layer that decides whether a restaurant gets named by AI or skipped entirely.
But her real specialty is translation. A restaurant's reputation is scattered across more places than any owner can keep up with — Yelp and OpenTable reviews, Google, Facebook, Instagram, competitor listings — and now ChatGPT and Google's AI answers sitting on top of it all, quietly deciding who gets recommended before a diner ever clicks. Almost none of that signal is readable to the person actually running the restaurant. Mik pulls it all into one place, analyzes it, and distills it into a single plain-English report. Nothing about it is generic: every analysis is custom-built for that specific restaurant, the exact customers searching for it, the neighborhood it lives in, and the way those searches are evolving — down to what its own diners are saying, what its competitors are doing, and precisely which gaps to fix first.
Elev8ed Table's whole approach is organic, and built to compound. Traditional marketing rents attention — thousands spent on ads and social posts that stop working the moment the budget does. Mik builds the opposite: durable, structured visibility designed to keep surfacing a restaurant long after an ad campaign would have gone quiet, and to put it in front of the high-intent customers actively searching for it — the people planning high-value bookings and events, not just the cheapest table. It's growth built on being found, not on being rented.
The result turns hours of scattered guesswork into a clear, prioritized picture an owner can act on in a single sitting — deep technical work, delivered without the jargon. That's the difference between handing an owner more data and handing them the answer.
