No more empty tables!
Nowadays a good restaurant needs to offer much more than delicious meals from good quality ingredients, and have a professional front of house staff. These are not enough for your guests anymore.
Diners express their opinions about the food, the quality of the service and the atmosphere through various online channels. This has a strong influence on the image of the restaurant, and in turn, on potential guests’ choices. Therefore, it is essential to respond to comments and reviews professionally and in a timely manner. When it is done right, it shows to former and future guests that their opinion matters. You pay special attention to their feedback, and you improve the quality of your service based on them.
Besides responding to comments and reviews, it is crucial to have a permanent online presence. It can be a webpage where guests can quickly and easily reserve a table, or it can be an active social media platform which encourages the visitors to become guests in your restaurant. This way you can build a strong base of regular patrons.
Benefits of responding to guest reviews:
- By showing that their opinion and personal experiences are important to you, the reviewer will be more satisfied with your services
- The guest’s attitude and opinion of the restaurant can be significantly improved and they may even make positive changes to their original review Visitors will receive a good impression when they see that the restaurant pays special attention to their guests’ reviews and that the feedback actually results in an improved service
- You can increase the possibility of table reservation by optimizing the review score with professional responses to reviews.
The impact of online reputation on revenue
Due to the great impact that online reputation has on revenue, professional reputation management has become an independent sector that needs to be handled by competent and experienced experts.
Providing fast and professional responses to comments regularly and in several languages, can be challenging for restaurants.
Besides meeting the review’s needs, the marketing expectations are also important. It is becoming increasingly important to respond to guests in their mother tongue, as it creates a deeper connection, and thereby a better reputation.
Time is also an important factor, as on most websites the newest reviews are at the top, so responding to them in time is of high priority.
