I tend to prefer the logistic modeling and I wish more sites would use that instead. Giving users the power to rank things from 1-5 or 1-10 is arbitrary and mostly worthless.
As an example, Rotten Tomatoes critic reviews. You get a wide variety of feedback but ultimately it's a Yes or No. The result is a percentage of Yes votes and I find their movie choices to be very reliable in terms of a "quality movie".
I think this sort of model could definitely work for restaurants.. or even on Amazon for a bigger platform example. The bottom line is it forces reviewers to decide...despite whatever asinine thing they can complain about, is it a yes or no?
