One Bad Google Review Can Empty Your Friday Night

Diners decide where to eat on Google in under 30 seconds. A 3.8 instead of a 4.5 on your Google profile costs you covers every single night.

Common issues

What's killing Restaurants.

These come up across nearly every restaurant Google profile we audit. If you nod at three or more, we should talk.

  • Competitors review-bombing your Google profile during prime season.

  • Inconsistent Google review response from your floor team.

  • One bad Friday driving negatives that dominate your Google profile forever.

  • Multi-location Google profiles that are impossible to manage by hand.

  • Front-of-house never asks for the Google review even after a perfect meal.

Our approach

How we help Restaurants.

01

Table-side Google review prompts via QR + SMS at the moment guests are happiest (right after the entree).

02

Real-time alerts to your GM the moment any Google review drops — fix issues in-house before they go viral.

03

Negative Google review removal — pay only when we get them taken down.

04

Per-location Google reporting so you can spot the underperforming store, not just the chain average.

Review Sharks doubled our Google review count in 4 months and got rid of three obvious fake 1-stars from a competitor. Saturday covers are up 22%.
