Is this even legal? A restaurant's loyalty card, on your lock screen.

Here's how it actually works:
• The guest scanned the QR code and saved the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet themselves.
• The card carries the restaurant's location on the map, so it can show up on your lock screen when you're near.
• Your phone checks the location, not the restaurant. Westify never gets your location.
• Not for you? Turn off lock screen suggestions in your phone's Wallet settings, or delete the card.

Because stamps and rewards give guests a reason to come back.

Now imagine this for your restaurant, your hotel, your barbershop.

Comment NEAR and I'll send you the setup.

(Not legal advice, just how Wallet cards work.)

Comment REGULARS and I'll send you the setup.

Year 0 owner: "How do I get customers to come back?"
Year 12 owner: 3 tricks.

❌ Year 0: hands out a blank punch card.
✅ Year 12: gives every guest a head start.
In a real loyalty-card study, 19% finished the blank card. 34% finished the head-start card. Same reward, same work.
Because a card that's already started is a card you want to finish.

❌ Year 0: paper cards that end up in a drawer.
✅ Year 12: the card lives in the Wallet on the guest's phone. It can show up on your lock screen when you're near. Your phone checks the location, not the restaurant. Westify never gets your location.

❌ Year 0: "Nobody leaves reviews."
✅ Year 12: sends a direct link straight to the review page. One tap, and every guest chooses what to write.

Save this for your next staff meeting.

One more star on Yelp meant 5 to 9% more revenue for independent restaurants (Luca, Harvard Business School). Hotels that started replying on TripAdvisor got 12% more reviews (Proserpio and Zervas, Harvard Business Review).

Stars are money. Replies move them.

Your best guest just walked past your door. Their punch card? Stuck in a drawer at home. 🗂️

Put your loyalty card in their Apple Wallet or Google Wallet instead:
• They scan a QR code or tap a link, then save it
• Stamps and rewards live on the card
• The card holds your address, so it can show up on their lock screen when they're near

Privacy: their phone checks the location, not the restaurant. Westify never gets their location. Guests can turn off Suggest on Lock Screen or delete the card anytime.

Works for restaurants and hotels.

Comment CARD and I'll send you the setup. Follow @usewestify for more ways to bring guests back.

Your worst review is still up. Here's who your reply is really for.

Your reply isn't for the angry customer. It's for every stranger who reads it next.
Defensive reply: they keep scrolling.
Calm reply: "this place pays attention."

Same review. Different first impression.

Everyone ignores 3-star reviews. That's the mistake.

They're mixed, not angry. They tell you exactly one thing to fix. And every future guest reads them as the honest review. Thank them, fix it, invite them back.

Paper punch cards get lost. Wallet cards don't.

Your customer scans the table sign, saves the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, and your waiter stamps it from any phone. Ten visits later, dessert is on you. Walk past later, and their lock screen says hi.

Included in Growth, or $7.99 a month on Basic. Link in bio.

A guest complained privately. Reply in 3 lines.

They told you instead of the whole internet. Answer like it:
1. Name the exact problem.
2. Say what you changed.
3. Give a real next step: a name, a direct line.

Three examples inside, plus three don'ts. Never offer anything in exchange for not posting or changing a review.

Most restaurant websites keep their reviews on a Testimonials page nobody clicks.

3 weak review sections, 3 better ones:

Where → put 2–3 reviews right above your Reserve or Order button, not in the footer.
How fresh → recent reviews with a first name and month. The same three quotes from years ago read fake.
What they say → pick reviews that name a dish. "Amazing!!!" sells nothing. "Get the smoked half chicken" does.

Skip these: rewriting a guest's words, calling a handpicked few "all our reviews" (show your real overall rating and link to every review on Google), and quotes with no name or date.

Screenshot slide 5: 5 spots on your site, and which review goes in each.

Westify's Widget puts your Google rating and your best recent reviews on your website. Pick Carousel, List or Badge, then copy the code.

Where do reviews live on your site right now?

Your staff got named in a review. Now what?

A name in a review is a gift or a risk. Here's what to do with each.

Named in a 5★ → say their name back in the reply, tell the guest it reached them, and tell that person at the next pre-shift.
Named in a 1–2★ → never confirm the behavior in public. Never discipline in public. Take it private, then look into it quietly.
Wrong name → don't correct it in public. Use the same private pattern.
Same name 3+ times in a month → that's a pattern. Recognize them inside the team too, not just on Google.

Screenshot slide 5 and pin it where your managers run pre-shift.

Westify shows the staff your guests name in reviews under Reputation, and can email you when a review compliments your team.

Who on your team gets named the most?
