Yelp.com is rolling out a new feature to allow businesses to identify as Asian-owned so that users can find and support them easily online amid the coronavirus pandemic and a surge in anti-Asian violence nationwide.
The feature will allow business owners to adjust their settings on the online business directory. It is hoped that this will help potential patrons search for Asian-owned restaurants or bars or other businesses in their city under the filter. Yelp, based in San Francisco, has launched similar settings for women-owned and black-owned businesses.
