Smart reviews

More Google reviews, asked for properly

Every order is a chance at public proof. menyu asks for the review at the right moment, reminds once at most, cools off between requests, and tells you immediately when a customer isn't happy.

The flow

Your site first, then Google

After an online or QR table order, the customer gets an email inviting them to rate their experience on your site. Once they've reviewed, they're invited to share it on Google too, where it does its public work. You collect the feedback and the customer relationship; Google gets the stars.

  • Review on your site: the feedback, and the customer it came from, stay in your data
  • Then the Google invitation: every reviewer is shown the way to your Google listing, whatever their rating. No filtering, no gating
  • Points for reviewing: optionally award loyalty points for on-site reviews. Google reviews are invited, never rewarded, keeping you the right side of Google's rules
How was your order, Sofia? Leave a review EMAIL · SENT AFTER THE ORDER Rate your order ★★★★★ ON YOUR SITE · YOUR DATA Share it on Google? Share → Sofia's review · ★★★★★ "Lamb chops were unreal, delivery bang on time." +50 PTS AWARDED
Feedback lands with you, stars land on Google, and the reviewer can earn points on your site.
Cadence

Asked nicely, never nagged

Review requests only work while they're welcome. You control when the first email goes out, when the single reminder follows, and how long a customer is left alone afterwards, however often they order.

  • Your timing: the first request goes out a configurable number of hours after the order
  • One reminder, maximum: a follow-up after a configurable number of days, and never more than two requests per order
  • Cooling periods: a customer who was asked recently isn't asked again, so your regulars never feel pestered
Order TUE 19:42 Request sent +4 HOURS* One reminder +3 DAYS* COOLING · 14 DAYS* Sofia orders again on Friday ✓ NO REQUEST SENT · STILL COOLING * EXAMPLE NUMBERS · EVERY ONE OF THEM IS YOURS TO SET
First ask, one reminder, then quiet. Every interval is configurable.
When it's not five stars

Bad nights reach you first

A rough order happens to every kitchen. What matters is hearing about it straight away: when internal feedback comes in negative, the owner or admin is notified immediately, while there's still time to call the customer, make it right, and keep a regular.

  • Instant notification: negative feedback pings the admin the moment it lands
  • Context attached: the order, the rating and the comments together, so you know exactly what went wrong
  • Recovery, not surprise: you find out from your own system, not from checking your listing a week later

Quick answers

Smart reviews, in brief

When are review requests sent?

A configurable number of hours after the order, by email, with at most one follow-up reminder after a configurable number of days. No order ever triggers more than two requests.

Will my regulars get bombarded?

No. Cooling periods mean a customer who was asked recently isn't asked again, however often they order in between.

Do you incentivise Google reviews?

No, and that's deliberate. Points can be awarded only for reviews left on your own site. Customers are invited to share on Google but never rewarded for it, which keeps your listing the right side of Google's review policies. The Google invitation is also shown to every reviewer regardless of their rating: menyu doesn't gate reviews.

What happens when feedback is negative?

You're notified immediately, with the order and comments attached, so you can put it right while there's still a customer to keep. And because every reviewer is invited to Google regardless of rating, speed genuinely matters.

Which orders trigger requests?

Online orders and QR table orders today, with more channels on the way.
