Guests who give your restaurant a top score land straight on the review page you choose.

Your best guests are glad to leave a review. The new Review Booster removes the last hurdle: whoever gives your restaurant a top score lands straight on the review page you choose.

A review card with five stars and an arrow to the Review Booster in the dashboard, with Google switched on.
Five stars go straight to the channel you boost. A lower score goes to your own form.

What It Does

After a visit, HappyChef asks your guests for a score. Until now, happy guests landed on a HappyChef page and picked where to write their review. With the Review Booster you choose one channel, and guests with a high score go straight there.

  • One channel at a time. Google, Tripadvisor or your own review site. Boost another channel and it takes the place of the first.
  • You set the threshold. Send on only guests with 5 stars, or guests with 4 or 5 stars.
  • Every click counted. We register the click before we send the guest on.
  • Lower scores, as before. Guests who were less happy get your own feedback form, so you hear what could be better.

How to Switch It On

  1. Log in to your dashboard and go to Settings › Reviews.
  2. Make sure the channel you want to boost is switched on and has a link.
  3. Under Review Booster, tap that channel and confirm with Activate Booster.
  4. Choose whether the booster starts at 5 stars or at 4 stars.

Switching it off is one tap on the same channel. If the channel loses its link, the booster pauses by itself and your guests see the usual HappyChef page again.

Who It Is For

For every restaurant that wants its good experiences in one place, for example on Google, where new guests look you up first. The Review Booster comes with every paid plan. On the free Start plan you can see it, but it is locked.

Frequently asked questions

Which channels can I boost?

Google, Tripadvisor or your own review site, one at a time. The channel has to be switched on and have a link.

The same as before: your own feedback form. The booster only changes what happens from the score you choose.

Does the Review Booster cost extra?

No. It comes with every paid HappyChef plan. It is not available on the free Start plan.
