Nobody running a kitchen has time to read forty reviews and work out what they add up to. This is a real example: what goes in, and the one page that comes out.
Yours arrives on the first of the month, by text and by email, with your name on it and your numbers in it. This one is The Olive Table, a restaurant we made up, so you can check every count against the reviews underneath it.
What goes in: one month at The Olive Table
Fourteen reviews. Scroll the box to read them all, then check every number below against them.
Fourteen reviews, all fourteen answered. Averaging four stars, and ten of them were four or five. The one thing holding you back is the wait. Four people mentioned it, and three of those four were on a Friday or a Saturday night. Everything else people wrote about was good.
We are not going to turn that $742 into a saving for you. Some of those diners would have walked in anyway, and nobody can tell you which ones. What is true is that no app took a cut of any of it.
Based on 14 reviews in this period. Counts are exact. The themes are read from what people wrote, and nothing here is guessed.
Three rules this report follows
The reviews it was built from are in the box above. If it says four people mentioned waiting, you can find those four. Nothing is rounded up to sound more useful.
"People mentioned waiting" is not worth reading. "Three of the four were Friday or Saturday evening" tells an owner where to stand next week.
It will never tell you a score is about to go up. Nobody can know that, and any tool that says otherwise is guessing at your expense.
The report is part of the price. So is everything else.
