How we verify cafe information

Last updated: November 2026

Every cafe page on Jomyumcha is assembled by hand from sources we can point to. This page explains where the information comes from, how we check it, and what we do when we get something wrong.

Where the information comes from

We build each listing from sources that already publish the fact we need:

• The cafe itself its Instagram captions, its own website, or a claim submitted through the claim wizard
• The outlet's own delivery listing a foodpanda or GrabFood menu, which is the merchant's own published menu and price list
• Editorial write-ups food and travel publications that name the cafe and print its address
• Google Maps for the coordinates, the street address and the opening hours

Cafe pages that were built from a blog post or a delivery listing say so: the "Source" line at the bottom of the page links to the page we read, and "Last updated" is the date the record was last written.

How we decide a source is about this cafe

Names are not enough. Two cafes in different states can share a name, and a chain can have a dozen outlets with one brand. Before we take a fact from a source, we compare the address it prints with the address we hold: the street number, the postcode, and the street name have to agree. If they do not, the fact is not used — the page stays shorter rather than becoming wrong.

The same rule applies to menus. A dish and its price are written only when the outlet's own listing publishes them, and only when that listing prints the address we hold. We do not write a description of a dish ourselves, and we do not guess a price.

What we do not do

• We do not sell positions in a list, and no cafe can pay to rank higher.
• We do not use affiliate or referral links. Every link to a cafe, a map or a delivery page goes where it says it goes.
• We do not invent descriptions, dishes, prices, opening hours or reviews. If a fact is not published by a source we can name, the page does not carry it.
• We do not copy menus from aggregator sites. Those pages print menus businesses never published, and they contradict each other.

Opening hours and prices change

Cafes change their hours, their menu and their prices without telling anyone. We update a listing when we see a change at the source, and the "Last updated" date on the page tells you how fresh it is. If you are planning a trip, check the cafe's own Instagram or call ahead — the page is a starting point, not a guarantee.

Corrections and removals

If a page is wrong, tell us and we will fix it: munkevin@gmail.com. Include the page address and the fact that is wrong. If you own the cafe and would like a listing corrected or removed, say so from an address we can verify, and we will act on it within two working days.

Photographs belong to whoever took them. If one of yours appears on this site and you would like it credited differently or removed, the same address reaches us.

Advertising

Jomyumcha is funded by advertising, and the advertising is kept away from the pages that cannot stand on their own. Ad units load only on pages that carry substantial content — a cafe page with real detail, a region hub, a guide, a policy page. A thin listing shows no ads at all. No advertiser sees, approves or influences which cafes appear on this site, or where they appear.
