THE TRAP

Why Your Rating Won't Budge

You're stuck in a reputation death spiral:

Old bad reviews weigh you down

That 1-star review from 2023 is still hurting you today.

Happy guests don't leave reviews

90% of satisfied customers leave without reviewing. Only the angry ones remember.

Low rating = fewer customers = fewer chances

People filter by 4+ stars. You're invisible to them.

THE RECOVERY PLAYBOOK

How to Take Control of Your Google Reputation

1

Volume Offensive

Recent reviews help push older negative experiences down in visibility. RateTap captures feedback at the table, while the guest is still in the restaurant.

2

Catch Issues Early

New complaints reach you and your manager in real time. Fix issues on the spot. Every issue you recover is a chance to turn an unhappy guest around before they leave.

3

Stack the Positives

Happy guests can leave a Google review right from the table. Over time, a steady flow of recent feedback improves the look of your profile.

  • Low-score feedback routed to your manager and addressed at the table
  • Current Google rating: 4.6 stars
  • Tracked daily from production rating snapshots, not self-reported
