Introduction

In the city of Surat, Boat & Bites was started with one goal. To give a dining experience that will be remembered for years. For this, they designed their restaurant such that it's a ship sailing in the sea. A building that's literally in the shape of a ship with water around it. It offered diners a delectable cuisine and a classy ambiance.

Since its establishment in 2021, the restaurant has been delivering an exceptional experience to anyone who decides to visit. This is visible in the organic 4.4-star ratings they've accumulated over Google with over 480 reviews.

But, despite having over 480 reviews on Google, Boat & Bites understood that if they want to scale further, they need to strategise around customer reviews. With which, they can reach more audiences and build better trust with first-time diners.

They wanted to find a solution for this, something that could help them use the reviews strategically but also not increase their workload.

The Challenge

Once they decided to find a solution for their challenges, they identified the major challenges they wanted to solve, and those were:

  • Less Visibility: Customer reviews were present only on the Google profile, which limited exposure and complete utilisation of those reviews for marketing.
  • Lack of Different Formats of Reviews: The absence of video or audio reviews made it difficult to have a full-fledged impact on potential customers.
  • Scattered Feedback Collection: There was no streamlined way to gather and manage customer testimonials in various formats.
  • Not Fully Utilising Positive Feedback: Existing positive reviews were not fully leveraged across marketing channels to build trust and attract new customers.
