Post-Service Follow-Up & Reviews for Fast Casual Restaurants

{"faqs":[{"answer":"We work from your POS export or CRM list — no integration needed. Our team segments guests by last visit, frequency, and spend, then runs approved outreach via calls, texts, and emails. Replies come to your phone or email for catering orders, large-party inquiries, or online order questions. No reservation system required.","question":"How does post-visit follow-up work for a fast casual restaurant with high volume and no reservation system?"},{"answer":"Yes. We send review requests only to guests who had a positive experience — based on your criteria — and never incentivize reviews. Requests are sent via text or email with a direct link to your Google or Yelp profile. All messaging is pre-approved by you and complies with platform policies.","question":"Can you send review requests without violating Google or Yelp guidelines?"},{"answer":"Win-back campaigns typically run two to four weeks end-to-end, with replies coming in as soon as the first wave goes out. For fast casual, we often see repeat visits within the first 10–14 days, especially when tied to a limited-time offer or seasonal menu launch.","question":"What's the typical timeline to see guests return from a reactivation campaign?"},{"answer":"Every text includes an easy opt-out (reply STOP). Opt-outs are honored immediately and permanently. We operate under TCPA and A2P 10DLC regulations, using only your existing customer list with implied consent from prior transactions. No cold outreach — only past guests.","question":"How do you handle opt-outs and compliance for text messaging to restaurant guests?"},{"answer":"Loyalty apps and email tools require you to build, send, and manage campaigns yourself. CallMyCustomers is a done-for-you service: we write the messages, make the calls, send the texts, handle replies, and manage review responses — all approved by you. No software to learn, no staff time required. Texts and emails are included in the monthly plan, not billed per send.","question":"How is this different from using a loyalty app or email marketing platform like Toast or Mailchimp?"}],"steps":[{"step":"1","title":"Free List Review & Segmentation","gradient":"from-orange-500 to-red-500","description":"Share your guest list from your POS, CRM, or spreadsheet.
