Google review software for restaurants

Get more Google reviews for your restaurant, automatically.

When a check is paid in Square, Clover, or any of 9,000+ apps through Zapier, or your host taps send as a table leaves, ReviewNudger texts or emails the guest a link to leave you a Google review. It sends the reminders too, so your servers never have to ask.

Everything your restaurant needs to earn more 5-star reviews

From asking after the check to replying when the reviews come in, ReviewNudger handles the follow-up so your team can stay on the floor.

01Automatic requests

The check is paid. The review request is already handled.

Connect Square or Clover once. When a paid check has a guest’s phone or email attached, as online orders, reservations, and catering orders do, a review request goes out at the time you choose. For walk-in tables, the host stand sends one from the quick send link, or guests scan the review page QR on the check presenter.

Why do reviews matter so much for a restaurant?

Almost everyone reads reviews before trying a new restaurant. They want to know whether the food is worth it, whether the service is warm, and whether they’ll be rushed out. Your reviews are doing the selling before anyone looks at the menu.

When three places on the same street serve a similar meal at a similar price, reviews usually break the tie. People look for recent reviews that mention a dish by name and a server who paid attention.

Reviews also affect where you land on Google. A restaurant that keeps getting new reviews looks busy and trusted, which helps you show up when someone searches for dinner near them.

How does ReviewNudger get my restaurant more reviews?

Plenty of happy guests would leave a review. Nobody asks them at the right moment, and the people who go looking for a review page on their own are usually the ones with a complaint. ReviewNudger does the asking.

When a check is paid in Square, Clover, or any of 9,000+ apps through Zapier with the guest’s phone or email on it, as online orders, reservations, and catering orders usually are, the guest gets a text or email with a link straight to your Google review page. Tripleseat connects directly for private events, so the host of a rehearsal dinner is asked once the event ends. You choose the wording and the delay. If they don’t respond, a reminder goes out, and it stops the moment they leave a review.

Most walk-in checks carry no contact details, so the review page and the quick send link do the rest. Put the review page QR code on the check presenter, and let the host stand send a request to a table that mentioned a birthday. A repeat-guest cooldown of up to 90 days keeps your regulars from being asked every month.

Will ReviewNudger save my team time?

Yes. After a one-time setup of about 10 minutes, there’s nothing to send, track, or remember. Your servers keep turning tables, and nobody has to work a review pitch into the goodbye.

New reviews show up in one inbox with a suggested reply ready to post, so the manager can stay on top of them in minutes a week instead of hours.
