FiveNudge sends every diner a WhatsApp thank-you, a direct Google review link and one gentle reminder, automatically, from your restaurant's own WhatsApp number, no table QR code required. Staff add the guest's number after the bill; FiveNudge handles the asking from there.
Table QR codes are the default review tactic for restaurants, and the default rarely works. Diners are settling the bill, chasing a table for four, or already halfway out the door. A sticker that says "scan for review" competes with all of that, and loses most of the time.
The problem: table QR codes and SMS links get ignored
It isn't that diners are unwilling to leave a review. It's that the moment to ask keeps arriving at the wrong time, in the wrong place.
A table stand competes with the bill, the group photo and the exit.
Text links are easy to send and just as easy to ignore in a cluttered inbox.
Nobody has time to personally ask every table for a Google review during service.
How FiveNudge fixes it for restaurants
The fix is to ask on the channel diners already read within minutes, not the one they scroll past. Here's the flow:
- After the bill, add the guest's phone number to FiveNudge from your phone, a few seconds, or connect Petpooja, DotPe or POSist so it happens automatically the moment the bill settles.
- FiveNudge sends a warm thank-you on WhatsApp, from your restaurant's own WhatsApp number.
- The next day, it sends a direct link straight to your Google Business Profile review page, one tap, no app to download.
- If they haven't reviewed yet, one gentle reminder follows. Then FiveNudge stops automatically the moment they review or opt out.
₹499/month for up to 150 diners, WhatsApp fees included, billed via UPI with a monthly GST invoice. FiveNudge connects through WhatsApp's official Coexistence feature, so the WhatsApp Business number you already use for reservations and takeaway keeps working exactly as before.
Why WhatsApp outperforms table QR codes and SMS
A review request only works if it gets opened. WhatsApp wins that fight in India by a wide margin.
| Channel | Typical open rate | What actually happens |
|---|---|---|
| Table QR code | Low, unmeasured | Depends on the diner remembering to scan before leaving |
| SMS / email | 20-30% | Easy to send, easy to scroll past or land in spam |
| 90%+ | Read within minutes on the app diners already check constantly |
Restaurant FAQs
Why do table QR codes get so few Google reviews?
Because they depend on the diner remembering, mid-meal or on the way out, to open their camera and scan. Most don't. A WhatsApp message sent to a number they already gave you (for a booking or a bill) gets opened within minutes, not ignored on a table stand.
Does FiveNudge connect to our POS or billing system?
Yes, if you want it. Petpooja, DotPe and POSist connect directly by webhook, so the moment a bill is settled, FiveNudge starts the review flow automatically, no one at the counter types a number in. Other billing tools (Zoho, Vyapaar, Tally, Excel) connect through a free Zapier, Make or Pabbly account. Prefer to keep it manual? Adding a guest's number by hand still works exactly the same.
Will this affect our restaurant's existing WhatsApp Business number?
No. FiveNudge connects through WhatsApp's official Coexistence feature. Your WhatsApp Business app keeps working exactly as before, on the same number, for reservations and takeaway chats, and you can disconnect any time.
Can this backfire if a diner had a bad experience?
FiveNudge never filters or gates reviews by sentiment, that would violate Google's policies. Every diner gets the same direct link to your public Google review page and writes what they actually think.
What does FiveNudge cost for a restaurant?
