The challenge
Why restaurants struggle with online reviews
One bad review can empty tables
A single 1-star Yelp review can cost a restaurant up to 9% of revenue. When negative reviews go unanswered, potential diners assume the worst. Without a system to respond quickly and collect positive reviews, one bad night can define your online reputation.
Reviews are scattered across too many platforms
Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, OpenTable, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Facebook — your restaurant has reviews everywhere. Checking each platform daily is impractical, so reviews go unnoticed and unanswered for days or weeks.
Happy diners leave silently
A table of four has an incredible meal, thanks the server, and leaves. They never think to write a review. Meanwhile, the one customer who waited too long for their appetizer goes straight to Yelp. Without prompting, you're only hearing from unhappy diners.
Platforms we monitor for restaurants
How it works
Everything your restaurant needs for review management
Post-meal review requests
Send review requests via SMS after diners visit — triggered by POS integration, reservation systems, or manual upload. A friendly message with a direct Google review link turns satisfied diners into public advocates.
