Customer Feedback Analytics, Sentiment Metrics & Reputation Management

1. Understanding Your Key Dashboard Performance Indicators (KPIs)
📊 Average Star Rating
The cumulative mean of all 1–5 star submissions. Aim for a healthy benchmark between 4.4 and 4.9 for maximum buyer trust.
💚 Positive Sentiment Ratio

2. The 5-Step Negative Feedback De-escalation Protocol
Critical feedback is an opportunity to win a customer for life if addressed promptly and empathetically. Follow this battle-tested protocol:
- Acknowledge Quickly: Contact the reviewer within 24 hours of receiving a 1 or 2-star submission.
- Validate Their Experience: Thank them for their honest feedback and apologize sincerely for falling short of expectations.
- Investigate the Root Cause: Review the specific staff member, dish, delivery batch, or service interaction mentioned.
- Offer a Concrete Resolution: Provide a replacement, complimentary voucher, or full refund where appropriate.
- Close the Feedback Loop: Update the customer when permanent process improvements have been implemented.
