Table and receipt review QR codes
A Google review QR code for check presenters, receipts, and table tents, one for each location.
The Problem
One Slow Saturday Shouldn't Define Your Restaurant for a Year
It happens fast in a busy room. One short-staffed night produces a run of angry reviews, while the regulars who love your food go home without writing a word.
Bad nights
One short-staffed shift sets your rating for months.
Bad nights
Every table gets asked, so regulars outnumber the one bad night.
Yelp
Someone asked diners for Yelp reviews, against Yelp's own guidance.
Yelp
We answer Yelp reviews and keep your page current, without soliciting.
Safety
An allergy complaint sat unread on OpenTable for a week.
Safety
Illness, allergy, and safety mentions reach your GM the same day.
Kitchen
The chef hears about cold plates from rumors, not data.
Kitchen
Monthly themes split complaints between kitchen and front of house.
Your kitchen loses a cook on a Friday, tickets back up, and by Sunday a few diners have written about cold mains and a 40-minute wait. Those reviews now lead your Google profile. Your Yelp page still lists last year's brunch hours. An OpenTable diner mentions a nut allergy reaction, and nobody sees it for a week. Meanwhile your regulars, who eat with you twice a month, haven't been asked to review, so your rating rests on your worst night.
We start by asking every table the same way: a Google review QR code on the check presenter and a short email the morning after each reservation. Yelp stays unasked, as Yelp requires. Every review on Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and OpenTable gets a reply draft within one business day for your manager to approve. Safety mentions reach your GM the same day, and the kitchen gets a monthly themes report instead of a surprise.
Every table asked the same way
A Google review QR code at each table and a follow-up email after every reservation.
Replies drafted within a day
Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and OpenTable reviews answered in your voice, approved by your manager.
Feedback your kitchen can use
Complaints sorted by dish, wait time, and service, so the right lead fixes the right thing.
Our Restaurant Reputation Management Process
From Last Night's Reviews to a Steady Rating in Five Clear Steps
You approve the QR cards, the follow-up email, and the reply templates before anything reaches a diner. After setup, your manager spends a few minutes a day approving replies.
We read your recent reviews on Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and OpenTable and count the unanswered ones. You get a short report on your top complaint themes and an honest view of whether a QR card and a reply habit would cover you.
What's Included
What You Get With Online Reputation Management for Restaurants
Everything between a diner's last bite and your next booking: asking for the review, answering it, catching safety issues, and turning complaints into kitchen and floor fixes.

DeveloperLook vs Generic Agency vs DIY by the Owner
Plenty of owners answer their own reviews well, and some agencies bundle reviews with ads. Here is where each approach holds up during your busiest week.
| Feature | DeveloperLookBest fit | Generic agency | DIY by the owner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Google review asks | QR and follow-up for every table | Often a one-off campaign | When you remember to mention it |
| Yelp handling | Answered and current, not solicited | Varies by agency | Late-night replies after service |
| Reply speed | Drafts within one business day | Weekly batches are common | Whenever service allows |
| Safety alerts | Same-day alert to the GM | Rarely set up | Only if you spot it |
| Kitchen feedback | Monthly themes by dish and shift | A star average in a report | Memory and the pre-shift meeting |
| Multi-location view | Leaderboard across every location | Often an extra fee | One login at a time |
| Monthly cost | From $550 per month | Often bundled with ads | Free, apart from your time |
| Personal touch | Your GM approves every reply | The agency's voice, not yours | Fully yours, nobody knows it better |

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites and platforms for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Restaurant Owners Trust Us With Their Reviews
Restaurant online reputation management runs on fairness and speed. These habits keep your requests inside each site's rules and your replies sounding like your own floor team.
Every table asked, no rewards
We ask every table the same way and don't trade dessert for stars. Google bans review incentives, and the FTC's rule on consumer reviews bans bought ones.
Replies that sound like your host
We learn how your host stand and managers talk before drafting anything. A reply should read like the person who greeted the diner, not a call center.
Yelp's rules respected
Yelp asks businesses not to solicit reviews, so we don't. We answer Yelp reviews and keep your page's hours, menu, and photos current instead.
Honest about the free option
If a Google QR card and a daily reply habit already cover your room, we'll tell you before we quote. Small cafes often need the setup, not a monthly plan.
Managers stay in the loop
Each location's manager approves the replies for their own room. Your staff learn what diners notice, and nothing posts that the floor team would dispute.
Your profiles stay with you
Google, Yelp, and OpenTable access stays in the restaurant's name with user access for us. If you stop, every reply template and report stays yours.

Good fit
Independent neighborhood restaurants
Your regulars love you, but your Google rating rests on reviews from opening year, and newer diners rarely leave one.
Multi-location restaurant groups
You run several locations, and each manager has invented their own review routine, so ratings swing from one room to the next.
Fine dining and chef-led rooms
Your tasting menu draws long reviews naming the chef, and fine dining reputation management means replies written with the same care as service.
Restaurants after a rough stretch
You had a short-staffed month, and a run of slow-service reviews now leads your Yelp and Google pages.
Agencies with restaurant clients
You build restaurant websites or run their ads, and clients want review management for restaurants delivered under your agency's name.
Not a fit
Restaurant inside a hotel
Your restaurant sits inside a hotel, and most reviews mention rooms and stays. Our hotel reputation management page covers booking sites and guest invitations.
Visibility is the real problem
Your reviews are strong, but diners can't find you on maps or in search. Our Restaurant SEO program fixes visibility first.
You want Yelp reviews removed
You want negative Yelp reviews taken down or hidden. Yelp removes reviews only when they break its rules, so we report those and answer the rest.
Budget under $550 a month
You run a food truck or pop-up with a few reviews a month. A Google QR card and our small business reputation program fit better.

Plans start at $550 per month for one location. That covers Google, Yelp, Tripadvisor, and OpenTable monitoring, table QR codes, next-morning follow-ups, reply drafts, and a monthly themes report. Requests from your POS or reservation data and same-day safety alerts move you to $1,050 per month. Groups of up to 5 locations start at $1,700 per month.
Most restaurants see new Google reviews within 2 weeks, once table QR codes and follow-up emails go live. Your rating moves more slowly, especially when hundreds of older reviews sit behind it. Give steady asking 3 to 6 months before you judge the average, and track the monthly review count in the meantime.
Reply within a day or two: thank the guest, name the specific problem, and say what changed. Keep it short and skip excuses or arguments about who was right. Offer to continue with a named manager by email, not with a coupon in public. If the review breaks the site's rules, such as a visit that didn't happen, report it instead of arguing.
They ask every table the same way, at the right moment. Your options are a QR code on the check presenter, a card with the bill, or an email the morning after a reservation. Google's policy forbids rewards for reviews and asking only happy guests, so there's no free dessert for a review. Steady asking at every table beats a one-off campaign.
Earn them and ask everyone, rather than asking your guests for five stars. Requests that name a star rating or go only to happy tables break Google's rules. What raises your share of top reviews is fixing the complaints that repeat, such as wait times or cold plates, then asking every diner. Your monthly themes report shows which fix matters most.
Give every location the same request system and track each one on its own. Each restaurant gets its own Google review QR code and link, so reviews land on the right profile. Managers see a monthly leaderboard of review counts and reply rates, while shared templates keep your brand voice the same in every room.
Automate the drafting and keep a person on the judgment. We tag each of your new reviews by theme and location, draft a reply from approved templates, and send it to that location's manager for a quick approval. Short thank-you replies can clear fast, while complaints and food safety mentions go to a person first.
The best software is the one your managers check daily on a phone, with every location and review site in one place. Larger groups often use a dedicated review platform, while single restaurants manage with Google Business Profile and Yelp for Business. A restaurant online reputation management service adds the people who read, reply, and report on top of the tool.
It shapes who walks in and what your kitchen learns. Your diners compare ratings and recent reviews before they book, and Google's help center lists review count and score among local ranking signals. Managed well, reviews also become a monthly report your chef and floor lead act on, so the same complaint stops appearing.
Yelp asks businesses not to solicit reviews, so we don't send requests there. Yelp reputation management means answering reviews publicly or by private message, keeping your hours, menu, and photos current, and reporting reviews that break Yelp's rules. Diners who love you still post on Yelp on their own; you just don't prompt them.
