Auto-send review requests after completed orders in 7shifts
Reviewflowz triggers automatic review requests whenever an order is marked complete, a reservation is fulfilled, or a delivery is finished in your 7shifts system. Choose email ($5 per 1,000 sends), SMS ($5 per 100 sends), or WhatsApp (98% open rates) as your delivery method. Set the trigger once and every single customer gets asked for a review without your staff lifting a finger. No more relying on servers to remember follow-ups during busy dinner rushes or weekend brunch crowds.
Identify your best customers from 5-star reviews in 7shifts
When customers leave 5-star reviews on Google, Yelp, or other platforms, that data flows directly back into 7shifts and tags their reservation or order record. Your servers and managers can instantly see which diners are your biggest fans at the table. Use this intel to offer complimentary desserts, invite them to special events, ask for social media posts, or simply provide extra attention. Turn happy customers into vocal advocates who bring friends and family to your restaurant.
Attribute reviews to servers without guest name-dropping
Most restaurants ask customers to mention their server by name in reviews, but guests forget names or misspell them, and Google often flags these unnatural-sounding reviews. Reviewflowz solves this by connecting directly to your 7shifts data. Since the system already knows which server handled each table, order, or shift, incoming reviews are automatically attributed to the right team member. Your reviews sound natural, avoid platform removal, and you still get detailed performance tracking for coaching, bonuses, and staff recognition programs.

Track review conversion rates per customer served in 7shifts
Raw review counts are meaningless without knowing your customer volume. A restaurant with 200 reviews from 10,000 covers has a weak 2% conversion rate, while one with 100 reviews from 1,500 covers achieves a strong 6.7% rate. Reviewflowz connects to your 7shifts customer data to calculate your true review conversion rate automatically. See exactly how many diners actually leave reviews versus those who just pay and leave. The average Reviewflowz customer achieves a 7.5% conversion rate across all platforms.
AI auto-replies to reviews across all restaurant platforms
Responding to reviews improves Google rankings and gives unhappy customers a reason to return, but your servers and managers don't have time to reply to every review across Google, Yelp, DoorDash, Uber Eats, and TripAdvisor. Reviewflowz AI generates personalized responses in your restaurant's voice across all 200+ monitored platforms. Approve responses manually during slower periods or let them publish automatically to maintain consistent engagement. Each reply sounds natural and addresses the specific points mentioned in the original review.
