Post-Visit Reviews with Google Redirect

Most restaurants fear their review page. A bad night, a tired table, one loud complaint — and before anyone inside the venue knows, a 1-star review is live on Google. Meanwhile the three guests who loved the food never think to post anything. The public rating is skewed by whoever is angriest, and the operator is always reacting, never steering.

Post-Visit Reviews flips that loop. After the reservation ends, the guest receives a private feedback form (email or SMS) with two separate 1-to-10 ratings — one for service, one for food. If both ratings are above 8, the form offers a direct link to leave the review on Google. If either drops below 9, the form asks for a comment that stays internal — only the venue's staff see it, and the system pushes a notification so someone can follow up within minutes.

The link sent to the guest is tied to the reservation token, so only the person who ate there can leave a review. The Google URL is configured once in venue settings and applies to every reservation. Over a quarter, the pattern is simple: the Google page fills with 9-10 ratings while 1-8 feedback becomes actionable internal insight.
