What is a restaurant review template?

Did you know that 81% of consumers* read online reviews on Google before visiting a business? This is not just a fleeting phenomenon but a mounting trend that will have a lasting impact on your online presence. In fact, Google uses analysis from users’ reviews to improve the SEO ranking of a business's website.

So, whether your customers want to share a positive or a negative opinion about a dining experience, the perfect restaurant review template should include the following elements: 

  • The establishment’s details
  • Questions about the location and the atmosphere
  • Space to talk openly about the pros and cons
  • Questions on the service quality and the menu offering
  • Ask about specific dishes that left an impression on diners

All these aspects will help you draft a pertinent and consistent review template that will assist new potential guests in seeking out attractive features of your restaurant. Ultimately, a well-structured online review will give the right guidance to users and strengthen the restaurant’s reputation.
