How to Write a Valuable Review
According to the Rewards Network, here’s there guide on writing a review. Note that “value” isn’t one of their key considerations.
Spill the beans. [Ha, I see what you did there!] We encourage you to be creative in your review and let your personality shine. The most meaningful reviews contain colorful descriptions of the food, service and ambiance. Here are a few tips to help you provide feedback that is the most helpful:
- Food and Drinks
After all, it`s what you came for. [And that’s all — except no highly marked up drinks] Be sure to tell us what you liked about what you ordered or your thoughts on the menu. Was that soup just like Grandma used to make it? Tell us about it. - Service
Was the service polite, helpful and efficient? Did your server help make your meal sparkle [No thanks, I would rather not pay the 35% tip expected for sparkling service, thank you very much] by checking in at the appropriate times or anticipating needs? - Ambiance
Tell other diners what you thought of the mood. [Like I care… These things add to the cost, which I do not want] Did it match the food and service? Was it casual enough for a family outing or romantic for a first date? - Constructive Feedback
If your visit was less than perfect, be sure to remain constructive in your review. Avoid using offensive or distasteful comments. Share information you feel would help the owner improve upon future experiences.
