Get more Google reviews for your restaurant
Tourists and locals both eat where the map tells them to. 4.2 stars vs 4.6 stars is the difference between a quiet Tuesday and a full one.
The right moment
PeakReviews asks after the meal. Not with a table tent nobody scans, but with a friendly WhatsApp that arrives with the good aftertaste.

Questions
When's the best time to ask a diner for a Google review?
Right after the meal, while the good aftertaste is still there. PeakReviews sends a WhatsApp request at that moment instead of relying on a table tent nobody scans.
Do I need every diner's consent to message them?
Yes. PeakReviews requires a POPIA consent checkbox and timestamp before a number is added, so you only message guests who opted in, not a scraped or bought list.
How much does it cost for one restaurant?
R299/month for 100 WhatsApp review requests, R499/month for 200, with a 14-day free trial (15 requests, no card needed) to test it on a real service or two first.
Does going from 4.2 to 4.6 stars actually matter for bookings?
Both tourists and locals use Google to pick where to eat, and a full point of rating (or even a few tenths) changes who clicks through on a map search. More recent reviews also keep you visible against newer competitors.
