“Perfect night for my sister's birthday. Special shout-out to Eva, who ran our table of twelve without ever losing that smile.”

★ live Google reviews · team rewards
A guest names a name.
A guest names a name.
Someone gets paid.
freereview reads your Google reviews continuously, spots the people your guests call out by name, and turns each mention into a bonus. Your team sees the leaderboard the same night, and your best reviews finally reward the people who earn them.
Runs on your existing Google listing. Free setup, no contract. We read your past reviews on day one.

The reviews that name a name are the warmest you'll ever get. Someone still has to read them one by one, remember who got called out, and remember to tell the right person before payday.
Why it pays
What actually changes on your floor
This isn't a review widget. It's a reason for your team to care about the thing that grows your business.
Your team starts asking
When a mention can mean a bonus with their own name on it, staff invite the review themselves. You stop chasing guests for stars and start getting named, shift after shift.
The good ones stay
Hourly staff quit when they feel invisible. A bonus tied to their name, paid every month, does the opposite, cheaper than hiring and training their replacement.
Google moves you up
Fresh, detailed reviews that name real people are exactly what the algorithm rewards. Better rank, more covers, zero ad spend, all driven by the reviews you were already getting.
How it works
Three moves, and nobody has to keep count
The engine runs itself once it's set up. You keep control of the amounts and of who's on the team.
01
The guest leaves with a name in mind
Every team member gets their own page and QR code, on the table, at the counter, or on the check. The guest logs their visit in two seconds. If they're happy, they head to Google with the name already in front of them.

02
freereview recognizes who got named
Every new review is read, typos, accents and nicknames included. A first name that happens to match a dish on your menu triggers nothing: you set the exception once, and it holds. Reviews already online are re-read at launch.
“thanks to Eva”→Eva · matched
“Angelo made our night”→Angelo · matched
“loved the limoncello baba”→dessert, not Baba
“Myriam was so pro”→unknown name, add?
03
The bonus adds up to the cent
You set the amount per mention, the monthly podium, and, if you want, a bonus per sale. freereview keeps the count and backs it up line by line. Paying it out stays with you, in payroll or in cash, exactly how you do it today.

The toolkit
What's inside
Six parts that run together. Switch them on at the pace that suits you.
A page and a QR per team member
A printable sheet, one card per person, cut out and set down on the floor. The rating lands in your dashboard even when the guest never makes it to Google.
The monthly leaderboard
Mentions, podium, bonuses so far. Visible to everyone, reset at the start of each month.
The staff space
A four-digit code, no app to install. Each person sees their own earnings, nobody sees anyone else's.
Lukewarm feedback reaches you before Google does
An unhappy guest is sent to a private form instead of your public listing. You get the message right away, with the name of who was serving. It's handled the next morning, not three weeks later in a one-star.
The monthly contest
Bottles, desserts, packages, whatever you want to push. Entered by hand or wired to your POS, with the prize announced to the team from day one.
The procedures quiz
Your service standards turned into short questions, targeted by role. You see who answered and what hasn't landed yet.
★ Built on a real floor, not in a boardroom
“I used to scroll reviews on Sunday nights trying to remember who ‘the girl who was so sweet’ was. Now the name lights up, the bonus is already counted, and my floor staff check the board before I do.”

FAQ
The questions we get
Who pays the bonuses?
You do. freereview calculates, backs it up and keeps the running total, line by line, mention by mention. Payout goes through your usual channels: payroll, a cash bonus, a gift card, a perk in kind. Nothing runs through us, which leaves you free on the format and on the tax side.
What if a first name is also an everyday word?
It happened in the pilot's first week: a staff member was named Baba, and the menu had a limoncello baba. You set one exception on that word, once, and the matching goes clean again. Same logic for names that look like a dish, a brand or a street.
What does Google actually allow?
Two things are clear, and we hold to them: we never pay a guest for a review, and we never dictate what it says. The bonus goes to the staff member, after the fact, for the service they gave. The review stays free, criticism included, and the guest rates whatever they want.
One thing to know before you start: Google asks that you do not sort which guests you invite to post. So the private form for lukewarm feedback is a decision you make with your eyes open, and the program works perfectly well without it. We give you the invitation wording that stays in bounds, and the wording to avoid.
Do my staff have to install an app?
No. A web page, a first name and a four-digit code. It opens on any phone, no account, no download, no email to hand over.
What about Tripadvisor, Booking, Yelp?
Google is wired in from the start, that's where most of the volume happens. Other platforms are added on request, we look together at which ones actually matter for you before we open the tap.
How long before the first mentions?
The re-read of your history runs the moment we connect, so you see mentions already written the same day. After that, count the time to set the QR codes on the floor and explain the idea to the team, a matter of days.
What happens when a staff member leaves?
You remove them from the team in one click, their page goes dark and their counter freezes at the leaving date. Mentions already validated stay in the history, which leaves you what you need to settle the last paycheck cleanly.
We'll show you on your own reviews
Give us your business name. We'll re-read your published reviews, tell you who's already been named, and how much you'd have paid out last month. The demo runs on your real data, not a sample account.
