Your Service Sucks!
Or maybe it’s great?
But how should you deal with those negative reviews?
Five Steps to Dealing with Negative Reviews
1. Check your reviews daily. You do not want negative reviews to go unanswered.
2. Take action at once on negative reviews. The worst thing you can do with a negative review is ignore it. Some review sites like Yelp allow you to start by sending the reviewer a private message.
3. Don’t argue with the customer; instead, acknowledge their issue. “I understand you were upset about the slow service on Thursday night.”
4. Explain your side of the story: “Unfortunately service was slow on the day of your visit. We had three servers out that day without notice, which is highly unusual.”
5. Apologize if appropriate and offer to put right or make up the best you can. “I can only apologize and offer to make it right on your next visit.”
