Post-Visit Reviews with Google Redirect

Five-star reviews get to Google. One-star feedback gets to you — privately.

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.

Key benefits

1

Google page fills with 9s and 10s

Happy guests get the direct link to leave the public review. Your public rating trends up, not down.

2

Unhappy feedback stays internal

Ratings below 9 open a private comment field and alert staff. Fix before it goes public.

3

Two-axis rating

Service and food rated separately 1–10. You know which side broke — floor or kitchen.

4

Tied to the reservation

Only guests with a real visit can leave a review (token-based link). No spam, no fakes.

5

Configure once, runs forever

Set the Google URL in venue settings. Every future reservation triggers the flow automatically.

How it works

  1. 01

    Configure the Google review URL

    Add your Google Business review link to the venue settings — one setting, once.

  2. 02

    Guest finishes their visit

    When the reservation is marked completed, the feedback link goes out (email or SMS).

  3. 03

    Guest rates service + food

    Two separate 1-to-10 sliders. Optional comment unlocks when either rating is below 9.

  4. 04

    Happy → Google

    Both ratings above 8 → the form redirects the guest straight to your Google review page.

  5. 05

    Unhappy → your staff

    Lower ratings stay private; the comment + ratings hit the admin dashboard and trigger a staff notification.
