One of the first things people do before they even see a menu is check the reviews on your site. It is important to show reviews for a few reasons. Positive reviews help people decide whether or not to dine at your restaurant. If you have a write-up or video from a local food critic, websites allow you to showcase that. When clients see great reviews, the likelihood of them deciding to book a reservation is high. Additionally, posting reviews helps strengthen the relationship of your existing clientele. It shows that you care about their feedback and it makes them feel important. If someone has a memorable experience, it is critical to be able to remember them and ensure that same type of experience occurs time and time again. Ask yourself, which review would you like to see before going to a restaurant?
