The Problem

Great Servers Deserve More Than a Yelp Star

Your best people are your competitive advantage. But traditional review sites don't tell you who made the experience great — or who needs support.

Invisible Performance

Managers can't be at every table. Without guest feedback tied to individuals, great service goes unrecognized.

Generic Reviews

'Food was good, service was fine' tells you nothing. You need specific, attributable feedback.

High Turnover

Servers who feel unseen leave. Recognition is the #1 driver of retention in hospitality.

BUILT FOR RESTAURANTS

Built for Restaurant Operators

From QR table cards to AI coaching summaries, CruVu gives you the tools to build a recognition-driven culture.

QR Table Cards

One QR code per location. Guests scan at the table, select their server, and leave a quick recognition in less than 10 seconds.

Guest Praise Leaderboard

See who's earning the most guest recognition. Filter by shift, date range, and role. Celebrate your MVPs publicly.

AI Coaching Summaries

Real-time and weekly AI-generated coaching notes per server — strengths, growth areas, and specific action items based on real guest feedback.

Shift Performance

Compare service quality across lunch, dinner, brunch, and late night. Identify which shifts need attention.

Service Tag Analytics

Track which qualities guests notice most — Friendly, Attentive, Fast, Knowledgeable, Made My Day — per server and shift.

Instant Low-Rating Alerts

Get notified immediately when a guest leaves a low rating. Recover the experience before they leave a public review.

TRUST & COMPLIANCE

Google Review Compliant. Always.

CruVu separates first-party staff recognition from public reviews. No gating, no steering, no compliance risk.

Every guest — regardless of rating — sees the same Google/Yelp invite

First-party feedback stays private to your management team

Consent-based email collection for marketing follow-up

Built-in fraud detection for suspicious submissions

No Review Gating

CruVu never conditions public review access on a guest's private rating. Every single guest who submits feedback receives the same optional invitation to leave a Google or Yelp review. This keeps you fully compliant with all platform policies.
