Localyser is the Middle East’s first local social media monitoring and engagement tool that helps restaurants, cafes, bars, spas, and F&B-centric hotels manage their locations’ ratings and reviews from across the Internet. From one single interface you can quickly respond to reviews, improve operations, and engage customers to obtain positive reviews that helps your outlets rank higher on search engines & maps.

2. 1. The Problem – For hotel reviews, there are solutions like Revinate. These solutions do not
work as well for F&B outlets. Also, for F&B outlets, comments on platforms other than
TripAdvisor are more important than for hotels. TripAdvisor’s review gathering tools do not
work very well for F&B outlets (very few people give their email address when going for a bite
to eat!)
2. The Solution – Localyser brings together ALL review sources into one dashboard: Easy to
manage, & reply. Great analytics. PLUS: Used on a tablet device, the guest-side of the system, is
perhaps the most intelligent review/feedback gathering system for F&B outlets in the market
today.
3. Also – Localyser is the only review monitoring, analytics, and feedback system fully geared
towards F&B outlets. It’s extremely keenly priced, intuitive, and very powerful.

7. • Require manual work to check
every review site (e.g., 10 outlets
x 7 sites = 70 check points / day).
• Some platforms send email
alerts but not all.
• Not easy to find the most
important reviews to respond to
first.
• Missed negative reviews affect
brand reputation, customer
service and future sales.
It’s time consuming to manage
all reviews real time!
8. • No single report that gives a
holistic view of brand reviews.
• Need to copy & paste reviews
into Excel in order to do any
comparisons between outlets.
• Need to read every review to
obtain actionable insights.
• Missing out on important
consumer trends that could
have been addressed
earlier.
Difficult to get actionable insight!
9. No easy way to boost the average
rating of low performing locations
• Getting customer feedback has become
a must to continue to improve
operations.
• Converting compliments into positive
star rating can be tricky (incentives
consumers and you can get burned).
• Getting positive reviews on a consistent
basis requires more than just a good
campaign.
• Lower star rating reduces online
search to offline sales conversion.
11. A 2014 research report by Dimensional
Research found that 88% of consumers have
been influenced by an online customer
review when making a buying decision.

Reviews, Reputation, and Revenue: The Case
of Yelp.com:
• A one-star increase in Yelp rating leads to
a 5-9 percent increase in revenue.
• Consumer response to a restaurant’s
average rating is affected by the number
of reviews.
