For restaurants, cafes, and hospitality
Google review automation for restaurants and cafes.
Restaurant reviews mention the dish, the server, the room, and the neighborhood. ReviewsRelay turns those exact details into warm replies and weekly Google posts that read like the regulars wrote them.

Frequently asked questions
Can it reference specific menu items?
Yes — only when the reviewer mentioned them. The reply kernel never invents menu items.
How does it handle allergy or food-safety reviews?
They are routed straight to drafts for human review. Nothing is auto-published.
Will it post about my seasonal menu?
When safe seasonal reviews exist, the calendar can pin them to seasonal anchors (NYE, Mother's Day, neighborhood events) automatically.
