What the Tool Does (And What It Doesn't)
This isn't a marketing platform. It isn't a CRM. It's a tool that does exactly one thing: get a customer to leave a Google review after you've finished a visit. Below is what's inside.
SMS review requests
Sent the moment you finish a visit. SMS gets a 90%+ open rate within minutes.
Sentiment gate
Unhappy customers give private feedback. Only happy ones go to Google.
Automatic follow-up nudge
If a customer doesn't respond to the first request, one polite reminder goes out a few days later. Then it stops — no nagging.
Private feedback inbox
Every low rating that didn't go to Google lands in your dashboard with its comment, so you can call the customer back and fix the issue.
Conversion stats
See how many requests you've sent, how many customers clicked through, and how many actually posted a review.
Bulk import past customers
Upload a CSV of recent customers and send a one-off request to all of them — a fast way to bank a wave of reviews.
What Using the Tool Actually Looks Like for a Cafe
Five real scenarios from a typical week — a coffee service, a breakfast and brunch, a follow-up on an older afternoon tea. Same three taps every time.
coffee service
A customer who's just had a coffee service from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
breakfast and brunch
A customer who's just had a breakfast and brunch from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
afternoon tea
A customer who's just had a afternoon tea from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
workspace cafe
A customer who's just had a workspace cafe from you is the easiest review you'll ever ask for — when the moment is right. The system catches that moment.
Why Most Cafes Don't Use a Review Tool — Yet
The tools have been around for years. So why have most cafe owners never tried one? It usually comes down to the four objections below — all of which fall apart on closer look.
Cafes rely on footfall and regulars — Google visibility brings new faces
Instagram-worthy interiors attract photographers but not reviewers
Chain cafes dominate high streets with brand recognition
Your regulars love you but never think to say so on Google
Top-ranking cafes typically have 50-300 Google reviews.
The Tool, From Tap to Review
Step one: open the app. Step two: enter the customer. Step three: send. The SMS goes out, the review form opens for them, and your Google profile gets one richer. That's the whole product.
Finish a visit
Wrap up the work the same way you always have. Nothing changes in how you operate.
Add the customer
Drop their name and mobile into the app — fifteen seconds, from your phone.
Reviews land
Happy customers post directly to Google. Unhappy ones give you private feedback first.

Tool FAQs
How quickly can I send my first request?+
Under five minutes from signup. Connect your Google profile, add your first customer, hit send. You'll often see the review appear on your profile that same day.
Does the tool send by SMS or email?+
SMS only. Email gets a fraction of the open rate and a much lower review conversion, so the tool is built around what actually works for a cafe: a single polite text message to a UK mobile.
What happens if a customer doesn't reply?+
The tool sends one polite reminder after 3 days. After that, no more — we don't believe in nagging your customers on your behalf.
Can I bulk import old customers?+
Yes — upload a CSV, the tool deduplicates and validates phone numbers, and you can send a one-off request to everyone you've worked for in the last 6-12 months.
The simplest review tool a cafe can pick up.
No training, no onboarding, no integrations to set up. Sign up, add your first customer, hit send. The next review is on its way.
