Many restaurants offer culinary but often when indicating the location of a culinary, the information obtained is sometimes limited to street names and location characteristics. Meanwhile, the clarity of where the culinary location is not mapped in detail. So far, culinary connoisseurs use manual methods to find culinary locations such as Instagram, Facebook, and Blogspot. For tourists, this manual method is less effective because it consumes a lot of time and address information for getting to culinary locations is inadequate. One solution that can be used to obtain information is a geographic information system (GIS). The goal is to make it easier for culinary lovers to find culinary tourism locations. The research method used in this research is the Research and Development research method with preliminary stages, data and information collection, interviews and observations, system design with modeling, design validation, design revision, development, limited trial, limited trial revision, trial field, revision of field trials, dissemination, and implementation.
