Restaurant review questions
How many 5-star reviews do I need to raise my Google rating?
It depends on how many reviews you already have and your current average. The more reviews you have, the more new 5-star reviews it takes to move the average. Enter your numbers above to see the exact figure for your restaurant.
Why does my rating move so slowly?
Your average is weighted by every review you have ever received. A restaurant with 500 reviews needs far more new 5-star reviews to move a tenth of a point than one with 30 reviews. That is why building reviews steadily over time matters.
How can my restaurant get more 5-star reviews?
Ask happy diners at the right moment, make it one tap with a direct review link or QR code, train your team to mention it naturally, and respond to every review. A consistent system beats occasional bursts.
