Importance of Guest Recovery

Why Guest Recovery is ESSENTIAL for Restaurant Brands

  • Most guests do not return to a restaurant after the first time they visit.

  • Unhappy guests may even go far as leaving a negative review, impacting online reputation.

  • Guest retention is a major missed opportunity for restaurateurs.

Power of Guest Recovery

The Service Recovery Opportunity

While many guests won’t speak up, those that share their negative experiences offer a phenomenal opportunity for brands to create a positive impression and fix prevailing systemic issues.

Regardless of whether it’s via an online review or survey submission, responding to a customer complaint typically delivers a massive 59 point NPS uplift according to Harvard Business Review. And the quicker the response, the bigger the upside.

Great responses to poor experiences are proven guest retention drivers.
