Auto-send review requests after Aloha Cloud orders
Reviewflowz triggers automatic review requests whenever Aloha Cloud marks an order complete, reservation honored, or delivery fulfilled. Your customers receive a personalized email, SMS, or WhatsApp message asking for a review on Google, Yelp, or other platforms you choose. The system runs continuously in the background, capturing every transaction from your Aloha Cloud POS without requiring staff to remember or manually send requests. Setup takes under 15 minutes and works with your existing Aloha Cloud workflows, turning every completed order into a potential review opportunity.
Track your best customers from Aloha Cloud reviews
When customers leave 5-star reviews, that data automatically syncs back to their Aloha Cloud customer profile. Your servers and managers can instantly see which guests are your biggest fans during future visits. Use this information to ask satisfied customers for referrals, invite them to special events, or encourage them to try new menu items. This direct connection between review performance and customer records helps you build stronger relationships with your most valuable diners while they're still at your restaurant, maximizing the impact of positive feedback.
Attribute Aloha Cloud staff reviews automatically
Staff attribution happens automatically without asking customers to mention server names in reviews. Reviewflowz knows which bartender, server, or chef handled each Aloha Cloud order, so incoming reviews get attributed to the right team member without any customer effort. This approach avoids the common problem where Google flags and removes reviews that specifically name restaurant staff. Your reviews read naturally, stay published longer, and you still get detailed performance data for individual servers, bartenders, and kitchen staff through automated leaderboards and reports.

Calculate review conversion rates from Aloha Cloud data
Review conversion rate equals reviews received divided by total orders served, giving you the metric that actually matters for restaurant performance. A location with 200 reviews from 1,000 orders (20% conversion) significantly outperforms one with 500 reviews from 10,000 orders (5% conversion). Because Reviewflowz connects directly to your Aloha Cloud transaction data, it automatically calculates this ratio without manual counting. Track conversion rates by location, time period, staff member, or service type to identify which aspects of your operation generate the most customer advocacy.
AI replies to restaurant reviews automatically
AI-powered responses go out to every review across Google, Yelp, TripAdvisor, OpenTable, DoorDash, and 195+ other platforms in your restaurant's voice. The system learns your brand tone and generates appropriate replies for both positive and negative feedback, addressing specific details mentioned in each review. You can approve responses before they publish or let them go live automatically. Consistent review responses improve your Google search ranking and show potential customers that you care about feedback, but without requiring managers or servers to spend hours crafting individual replies daily.
