Why is your Digital Reputation important? In today’s competitive restaurant industry, it’s more important than ever to have a positive digital reputation.

According to the infographic, 9 out of 10 diners consider reviews important when choosing where to eat [1]. A bad reputation can drive away customers, while a good reputation can lead to a significant revenue boost. 

Five key things that restaurant customers care about most: 

  1. Food Quality: This is obviously the most important factor. Customers want food that is fresh, delicious, and well-prepared.
