Auto-send review requests after Toast orders complete
When Toast marks an order complete, table closed, or delivery finished, Reviewflowz instantly sends a review request to that customer via email, SMS, or WhatsApp. Configure once in your dashboard by selecting the Toast trigger event and your preferred communication method. Every completed transaction becomes a review opportunity with zero manual work from servers or managers. No forgotten follow-ups, no missed chances to capture feedback while the dining experience is fresh. Your review requests go out automatically whether it's a busy Saturday night or slow Tuesday lunch shift.
Identify your best customers from Google and Yelp reviews
When customers leave 5-star reviews on Google, Yelp, or other platforms, that positive signal flows directly into Toast and appears on their customer profile. Your servers and managers instantly see which guests are your biggest promoters right inside the POS system they use daily. Turn these happy diners into your most powerful marketing asset by asking for video testimonials, social media posts, or referrals to friends and family. Instead of guessing who loves your restaurant, you have concrete proof of customer satisfaction tied directly to their order history and contact information.
Attribute reviews to servers without mentioning names
Reviewflowz automatically connects reviews to the correct server, chef, or manager using Toast order data without requiring customers to mention staff names. This approach prevents Google from flagging reviews that specifically call out employees, which happens frequently with traditional name-mention strategies. When reviews arrive, they're instantly attributed to the right team member based on who handled that table, order, or delivery in your Toast system. You get accurate staff performance tracking and can create leaderboards or bonus programs while maintaining natural-sounding reviews that don't trigger platform removal algorithms.

Calculate review conversion rate from Toast order volume
Most restaurants celebrate raw review counts, but 500 reviews from 50,000 orders means a weak 1% conversion rate. Your competitor with 200 reviews from 2,500 orders has an impressive 8% rate and stronger reputation momentum. Since Reviewflowz connects directly to Toast transaction data, it calculates your true review performance by dividing reviews collected by actual orders completed. Track conversion rates by location, server, time period, or meal type. The average Reviewflowz customer achieves a 7.5% review conversion rate. You'll see exactly which servers, shifts, or menu items generate the most customer feedback.
AI generates replies to Google and Yelp reviews automatically
Responding to reviews improves your Google local search rankings and shows future customers you care about feedback, but restaurant staff rarely have time to reply across Google, Yelp, DoorDash, OpenTable, and dozens of other platforms. Reviewflowz AI writes personalized responses in your restaurant's voice and tone for every review that comes in. Choose to approve each reply manually or let them publish automatically based on your comfort level. The AI learns your preferred response style and adapts to different review types, from thanking happy customers to addressing concerns professionally.
