Quick Answer: When you see a restaurant video you like on TikTok, tap the share button, select rec'd from the share options, and the place will be saved to your rec'd account.
Overview
Spotted a restaurant on TikTok that you want to remember? Instead of screenshotting and forgetting about it, you can send it straight to rec'd. We'll pull the restaurant information from the video and add it to your saves.
No more lost screenshots or trying to remember "that place from that video".
Step-by-step instructions
Step 1: Find a video you like
When you're scrolling TikTok and see a creator reviewing or featuring a restaurant you want to try, pause on that video.

Tips
- Works best with clear mentions — Videos that name the restaurant or show the location clearly will import more accurately
- Check the match — Sometimes restaurant names are common, so make sure rec'd has found the right location before saving
- Add to a list — Consider creating a "From TikTok" list to keep track of places you've discovered on the platform
Common issues
Problem: "I can't see rec'd in my share options" Solution: Make sure rec'd is installed and you're logged in. On iPhone, you may need to scroll to the end of the share options, tap "More", and toggle rec'd on. On Android, rec'd should appear automatically if installed.
Problem: "rec'd couldn't find the restaurant" Solution: If the video doesn't clearly mention the restaurant name or location, rec'd may not be able to detect it. Try searching for the restaurant manually in rec'd using any details from the video.
Problem: "The wrong restaurant was detected" Solution: If rec'd matched the wrong place, cancel the import and search for the correct restaurant manually. This can happen with common restaurant names or chains with multiple locations.
