iReview Addresses Restaurant Pains

As an online reputation platform especially geared toward restaurants, iReview.com addresses the following pains of the industry:

 High restaurant failure rate:

The National Restaurant Association estimates a 20% success rate for all restaurants. About 60% of restaurants fail in their first year of operation, and 80% fail within 5 years of opening.

iReview educates restaurant owners about the importance of their online reputation in today's digital world. By managing negative reviews and accumulating positive ones, iReview.com can help improve a restaurant's overall reputation and increase its chances of success. Think Google, Facebook, and Yelp, these platforms are powerhouses in terms of breaking your business. Do you think your restaurant is any different than online dating? No! Customers desire the most desirable +4.5-star restaurants and if your venue is appropriately priced where it seems like a value, customers will flock to your location. Your business needs to at least not fail!

Lack of vision:

According to the Cornell University study “Why Restaurants Fail,” restaurants close because their leadership lacks a clear vision

iReview encourages its restaurant clients to have a clear vision and mission statement for their business. By emphasizing the importance of a strong brand identity, iReview.com can help restaurant owners make better business decisions that align with their long-term goals. You need to know what is the highest value your restaurant has to offer and expand upon it!

Slow initial profitability:

It takes an average of two years for a new restaurant to turn a profit. Unfortunately, there is a very high restaurant failure rate.

Using iReview means new restaurant locations no longer need to plan and wait through a slow first two years! By helping restaurants manage their online reputation, iReview.com gets more customers through the door faster, which accelerates their path to profitability. You need to be recognized and successful now!

Low-profit margins:

The average net profit margin for restaurants is reported to range from 2% to 6%

iReview's full-time job is to improve a restaurant’s brand status. So as the Google star rating of a restaurant improves, so does its power to charge higher prices. With cutthroat, sub-15 % profit margins, restaurants really appreciate the added volume their brand attracts. You need to make more money! Customers don’t know who you are and how great your food tastes for the price offered, if you can’t increase prices, at least you can enjoy more volume!

Common threats:

New restaurants in your neighborhood

Competitor promotions & specials

New menu items (like when Avocado toast came on the scene and breakfast diners didn’t have it on the menu…)

iReview enables restaurants to stay ahead of the competition by providing real-time feedback and insights on everything being said about the business online. Managers can quickly address negative reviews from one central dashboard and admire the accumulation of 5-star ratings thanks to their staff's hard work.  Using iReview are consistently able to outperform their competition in terms of online brand.
