Looks Good, But What’s The Purpose of This Survey?

In this episode, we take a closer look at a guest feedback survey from a popular restaurant inside a major hotel. At first glance, it does a lot right — short, simple, on-brand. But as we talk through the guest flow, the copy choices, and the final ask, we started to notice some important gaps. The intent seems clear: it’s not really about feedback — it’s about driving reviews. The survey is built into a reservation platform, and everything about the structure points toward boosting public ratings, not improving guest experience. But here’s the twist: it’s not even doing that well. Despite all the nudging, the restaurant has barely any reviews on the page they push guests toward. It’s a revealing look at what happens when the purpose of a survey is misaligned — and when execution doesn’t support the outcome you’re aiming for. ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Want to know what we think about your feedback loop?
