THE GUEST JOURNEY

How Real Time Feedback Supports the Guest From the First Bite to the Next Visit

Real Time Feedback gives restaurants the ability to communicate with guests during the dining experience, capture issues while they can still be corrected, route happy guests toward public reviews, collect private feedback from unhappy guests, and recognize returning guests who deserve next-level hospitality.

Step 1 Optional Mid-Visit Check-In

A mid-visit check-in gives guests a private way to alert management of a less-than-perfect experience to step in and correct any issues.
*Mid-visit text is optional and up to the manager's discretion.

Guest rating restaurant experience after paying the check

Once the guest leaves, they receive a text asking them to rate their experience on a scale of 1-5. 5-star ratings are automatically routed to leave a public review on one of several sites, while 1-4 star ratings are prompted to provide private and actionable feedback to management to respond to.

Why This Matters

Your restaurant does not have to wait for a public review to learn about failed guest experiences.

Real Time Feedback creates personal touchpoints throughout the dining experience, giving management a chance to recover issues in the moment, route happy guests toward public reviews, and recognize returning guests who had a previous issue and provide them with next-level hospitality.
