Smart feedback routing

Every customer leaves a review. You hear every voice.

Every customer can leave a public review - and privately tell you what to improve. Feedback reaches the right team in real time, with nothing hidden or filtered by rating.

  • Every customer
  • Private feedback
  • Service recovery
  • Public review

Suitable for businesses with physical locations, deliveries, customer service, bookings, visits or field teams.

At any rating - both a public review and a private form.

Most businesses hear about problems too late.

Customers often leave unhappy without telling the team directly. By the time you find out, the moment to recover the relationship has already passed.

Without a feedback workflow
  • Customers leave frustrated and silent
  • No private channel to capture issues
  • Managers find out too late, or never
  • The same issue repeats across shifts
  • No clear owner for sensitive feedback
  • Recurring operational patterns go unnoticed
With Ratestar
  • Customers share feedback privately and feel heard
  • Sensitive feedback is routed to the right team
  • Managers receive a real-time alert
  • Team follows up while the experience is still fresh
  • Recurring issues become visible by topic and location
  • Service recovery becomes a repeatable process
How it works

From customer experience to team action in four steps.

A clear, customer-friendly journey designed to make every experience easier to listen to, respond to and learn from.

  1. 1

    Customer shares their experience

    They open a Ratestar feedback journey through a QR code, NFC card, Digital Portal, email or SMS - wherever they meet your brand.

  2. 2

    Ratestar routes the journey

    Every customer can leave a public review - and privately share what to improve. Sensitive signals reach the right team.

  3. 3

    The right team is alerted

    Managers or responsible team members can receive notifications when sensitive or low-rated feedback comes in, so nothing slips through.

  4. 4

    The business acts faster

    The team reviews the issue, follows up when appropriate and uses the feedback to improve service across shifts and locations.

Give customers a better place to explain what went wrong.

Many customers just want to be heard. A private feedback channel gives them space to explain the issue directly to the business, so something can actually be done about it.

Sample Hotel - Private feedback
  • Rating or satisfaction score

    A quick first signal that helps the system route the journey.

  • What went wrong

    Customer picks the part of the experience that needs attention.

  • Topic or category

    Service, waiting time, cleanliness, food, room and more.

  • Open comment

    Free-text space to explain the situation in the customer's own words.

  • Optional contact details

    Customers can choose to share contact info if they want the team to follow up.

  • Visit context

    Location, shift or campaign captured automatically, so the team knows where it happened.

Notify the right people when something needs attention.

Not every piece of feedback needs the same urgency. Ratestar helps your team spot sensitive or low-rated feedback faster and route it to the people who can act.
