Features Only Available on Real Time Feedback

AI Resolve™

AI Resolve gives restaurant teams a flexible response engine for guest feedback and issue recovery, whether your team wants hands-on control, guided automation, or more autonomous action paths.

Review Removal

We continuously analyze your Google reviews with AI to identify likely policy violations, explain why flagged reviews may qualify for removal, and help your team take the right next steps.

On-Site Insights™

Catch guest issues while they are still in the restaurant using smart QR codes that instantly alert your team so the problem can be addressed before it turns into a public review problem.

Second Chance Alert™

Be alerted when a guest who previously had an issue returns to your restaurant, so your team has the chance to win them back, provide a more personal experience, and make their next visit exceptional.

Trigger Codes™

Use pre-programmed QR alert codes that let guests or employees report specific issues in seconds without typing, long forms, or app downloads.

Cross Pollinated Reviews™

Balance review growth across the profiles and destinations that matter most instead of sending every happy guest to the same site every time.

Customer Generated Content

Capture authentic guest testimonial videos directly from happy diners so your restaurant can build trust with real stories, real experiences, and stronger social proof.

Web-to-Text

Turn website traffic into a live text conversation so restaurants can capture reservations, catering opportunities, event inquiries, and guest concerns before leads go cold.

Marketing Messages

Send guests text and email marketing messages that can even be based on their rating, making it easier to personalize follow-up, promotions, and return-visit campaigns.

Waiver Forms

Let guests complete digital waiver or acknowledgment forms that can also trigger a post-visit rating request, giving your team a smoother process and another opportunity to capture feedback.

Employee Ratings

Track guest satisfaction at the employee level so managers can spot patterns faster, coach more effectively, and recognize strong performance with much more clarity.

Employee Feedback

Give employees a direct way to share operational issues, workplace concerns, and honest feedback so management can identify problems earlier and improve the team experience.

Anonymous Feedback

Give guests and employees a safe way to report concerns without attaching every issue to a name or creating hesitation around honest feedback.

Glassdoor Reviews

Route top employee feedback into public Glassdoor review opportunities while keeping the rest internal so leadership can strengthen employer reputation without losing visibility into staff concerns.

Lost & Found

Easily catalog found items in the platform along with digital pictures so your team can manage lost-and-found requests more efficiently and create a smoother guest experience when items are recovered.
