The traditional table touch, "How is your meal?" - has always been a staple of hospitality. But now as much as 60% of restaurant orders are off-premises. So, how can you provide your guests with that same level of care and attention?

In the past few months, we've had several members tell us about their overwhelmingly positive experiences with the guest feedback app, Ovation. In addition, Ovation was rated the #1 feedback tool in our 2021 Independent Restaurant Technology Survey.

Since this has been such a powerful tool for so many RO members, we've asked Ovation Founder & CEO, Zack Oates, and RO member and Ovation user, Shawn Walchef of Cali Comfort BBQ, to tell us more about how Ovation works and the benefits this app can provide to independent operators.

What you will learn:

  • Can I get feedback from off-premises guests?
  • How do I drive more 5-star reviews?
  • How do I convert 3rd-party orders to 1st-party orders?
  • Am I leaving revenue on the table with guest feedback?
  • Q&A
