Product Update: July 2025

Guest Intelligence

One Platform. Every Guest Interaction.

Surveys. Reviews. Social channels. It’s a lot to manage. And it’s a lot of data to sift through to get to the bottom of what’s really going on.

Now, imagine one place where all your guest feedback lives: unified, AI-driven, and easy to act on.

Sound too good to be true? Think again.

Meet the New and Improved: Guest Intelligence

Everything Guest Experience. One Platform.

Back in April, Black Box Intelligence acquired Yumpingo – the menu-specific survey platform. We are delighted to say that this solution is now integrated into our new Guest Intelligence platform – which we are now launching to market.

Guest Intelligence is the most complete guest experience solution built for restaurant brands.

It combines surveys, reputation management, and deep AI guest feedback analysis into a single, restaurant-specific platform – so you can capture, analyze, and act on every guest interaction across your business with speed, consistency, and confidence.

The complete guest experience solution – now fully integrated: Same Beloved Ingredients. Bigger, Better, Together.

The Solution: Connected Guest Experience

Guest Intelligence Brings Everything Together – And is Purpose-Built for Restaurants.

  • Surveys: Capture rich, real-time feedback from guests at the location, server, or menu item level.

  • Reputation Management: Track and manage reviews and social channels. Monitor, respond, and improve your guest experience.

  • Restaurant-Trained AI Analytics: Surface trends, identify root causes, and get instant insights without the noise.

  • Benchmarking That Matters: Know what “good” looks like with performance context from the Restaurant Performance Network.

  • Integrations: Integrate with your existing tech stack.
