Reviews & reputation software for restaurants and cafés

Diners check ratings before they book, so restaurants need reviews where people search and replies that come quickly. Google Business Profile is free and is where customers already look. Verification can be slow and replying by hand does not scale; GatherUp, from $99/mo per location, adds review requests by text and email.
