Reply to online reviews with AI, for restaurants

Online reviews pile up during service, leaving you to write apologies and thank-yous late at night. Hand the text to AI so you start with a calm draft instead of a blank box.

What to gather first

• Three reviews you need to answer
• Two past replies you liked
• Your house rules on comps or refunds

Which app

For this one, a plain AI chat window is enough. Open the chat, paste what you gathered, and type the message below.

How to do it

1. Paste the customer notes. Copy the review text straight from your profile page into the chat. Add any quick detail about that shift, like a rush or a dish that ran out. AI reads what the guest said.
2. Ask for drafts. Tell AI to write two drafts for each review. One keeps it short and polite, and the other addresses specific details like food quality or noise. AI writes the drafts side by side.
3. Read and trim. Pick the draft that sounds most like you talking to a guest at the host stand. Cut words that sound too stiff or fake. You shape the final tone.
4. Post the response. Copy your edited text back to the review site. Submit the reply yourself. You stay in charge of what the public sees.

What to type first

Change the words to match your business. AI follows what you say, so say what done looks like.

Before you trust it

• Make sure the draft names the correct dishes or staff mentioned by the guest.
• Check that the reply never offers discounts or free items you did not approve.

Try pasting a set of negative comments to group the most common dining room complaints.
