Questions people actually ask
How important are Google reviews for a restaurant?
They are effectively the menu now. Diners filter by rating before they read anything else, and a restaurant sitting below four stars is excluded from most searches before its food is ever considered. Volume and recency both matter — a hundred reviews from three years ago count for very little.
How can a restaurant get more reviews without nagging customers?
Ask once, shortly after the visit, on WhatsApp rather than email, and only of guests who booked or paid in a way that gives you their number. One well-timed message converts far better than a QR code on the table nobody scans.
Can a restaurant automate its bookings?
Yes. Enquiries that arrive on WhatsApp, Instagram and the website can be answered and confirmed automatically, which matters most on Friday afternoons when the phone is busiest and nobody is free to answer it.
