Brilliant food and the sharing plates were the highlight. It did take a while for mains to arrive on a busy Saturday but the staff kept us updated.

Drafted in your voice

Thanks Daniel, glad the sharing plates landed well. Saturday service is our busiest and we're adding kitchen cover to keep mains moving faster. Hope to have you back in soon.

Ask every diner automatically

The best moment to ask a diner for a review is while the meal is still fresh. Review Kit sends the request shortly after the bill is settled, or lets guests scan a QR code on the table, so you capture the good nights instead of only the bad ones.

  • Requests triggered when the table closes, not the next morning
  • Table-top and receipt QR codes for walk-ins
  • Personalised with the booking or service the guest had
  • Yelp reviews are monitored and replied to, never solicited

Know exactly what to fix first

One angry review about a slow main isn't a pattern. Fifteen of them across two months is. Review Kit groups what diners write into topics so you know whether to fix the kitchen pass, the pricing, or the noise level.

  • Topic breakdowns taken from real review text
  • Trends over time, not one-off complaints
  • See which fixes are already working
  • Export insights for team meetings

Worth fixing: Speed of service is dropping and nearly every mention is a Friday or Saturday evening cover.

See which servers guests name by name

Reviews are tagged to the shift and the server on the table, so you can recognise the front-of-house team that guests keep mentioning, and turn review collection into a friendly competition between sections.

  • Automatic tagging by server and location
  • Weekly leaderboards that drive friendly competition
  • Spot who needs coaching or a nudge
  • No spreadsheets or manual logging

Why reviews fill tables

Almost nobody books a restaurant they haven't checked first. Star rating, review recency and how you handle criticism decide whether a hungry stranger picks you or the place two doors down.

  • Recent reviews signal that a restaurant is busy and consistent
  • Replying to criticism publicly reassures the next reader more than the review harms you
  • Google and TripAdvisor visibility both respond to review volume and recency
  • Topic feedback shows what to change on the menu or the rota

Questions from restaurants

Can you trigger requests from our booking or POS system?

Yes. Requests fire when a table closes or a booking is marked complete, and you can also use table QR codes for walk-ins.

Do you ask for Yelp reviews?

No. Yelp's guidelines prohibit soliciting reviews, so Review Kit monitors and replies to Yelp reviews but never requests them.

Can each site have its own inbox?

Yes. Every location has its own view, and you get one roll-up across the group.
