Reviews & Reputation Management

Q: Does the automation reply to reviews on its own?

It drafts replies in your venue's tone and can post routine ones automatically, while flagging sensitive reviews for a manager to approve first.

Q: Will this work with the review platforms we already use?

It connects to the major review and social platforms bars typically rely on, and can be extended to others as needed.

Q: What happens to our existing review history and tracker?

Existing review records stay in place, and the automation begins logging new reviews into the same tracker going forward.

Q: How are unusual or highly negative reviews handled?

Reviews that fall below a set rating are routed to a manager for review and approval before any reply goes live.

Keep your venue's online reputation sharp by catching every review and responding before silence does damage.

About This Automation

Reviews and reputation management involves monitoring multiple review platforms, categorizing feedback, and responding to guests in a timely way. Doing this manually across several platforms each day drains staff time and often delays responses to unhappy customers.

An automated version gathers new reviews from every platform, drafts on-brand replies, and flags urgent cases for approval. Response times shorten and every review is logged automatically, freeing staff for guests.

Key features:

Collects new reviews from every platform automatically on a set schedule.

Classifies each review by sentiment and urgency without manual reading.

Drafts on-brand replies matched to the venue's tone.

Routes negative reviews to a manager for approval before posting.

Logs every review outcome in a shared tracker automatically.

Sends follow-up requests to recent happy guests to generate more reviews.
