Why people may
go elsewhere.

A few things worth knowing
Clear from
Clear from
the start.
Expert judgement, practical priorities and the freedom to decide what comes next.
Is this a fully automated report?
No. A real hospitality professional assesses and approves your review. Research and drafting tools may assist, but expert judgement remains part of the service.
What does the £20 review include?
An initial remote review based on public information and your brief: visible weaknesses, guest hesitation, a focused competitor and local pricing perspective, and prioritised actions. It does not include implementation, internal performance analysis or a visit.
How are local prices compared?
Compare equivalent drink sizes and food items, including extras and any eat-in or takeaway differences. We use publicly available price snapshots where possible, explain comparison limits and do not present this as ongoing market monitoring.
When will my report arrive?
Within 7 calendar days after payment and receipt of your completed business brief. If essential details are missing, we will ask for them before starting.
Do I have to purchase extra services?
No. Your report includes actions you can take yourself. Any further work is optional, separately scoped and agreed before it begins. There is no automatic subscription.
What happens during a mystery customer visit?
With the owner’s authorisation, we experience the service and use agreed reasonable scenarios, such as asking about a menu item, requesting an available alternative or seeking clarification of a bill. We assess listening, response, resolution and follow-up. Expenses are agreed beforehand.
How do I share my business details?
After payment you receive a link to a short business brief. Your 7-day delivery time starts once the brief is complete. We never ask for passwords or your guests’ personal data.
