The story

Brasserie Lumen had strong food but inconsistent reviews — guests would only post when something went wrong.

Servers now drop a small REVIEWU stand inside each check folder. Happy guests tap and review while paying.

Eight months later they’re #2 ‘French restaurant in Chicago’ on Google and seeing 22% more reservations on weekdays.

The duck confit was perfect and the wine pairing made the meal. Will be back.

FAQ

Common questions for restaurants

Where in the restaurant does the stand work best?+

Inside the check folder or on the table when the bill is dropped — guests are settled, fed, and most likely to act.

Do servers need a script?+

A simple ‘if you enjoyed your meal, a quick tap means a lot’ works perfectly. No hard sell required.

Can we use it across multiple locations?+

Yes. Each location gets its own short link and dashboard so you can compare performance side by side.

Will guests think it's gimmicky?+

No — premium acrylic and metal stands look like part of the table setting, not a marketing prop.
