How Sushi y Asi improved its Google reviews with Cacao

Introduction

Sushi y Asi is a restaurant that decided to professionalize how it manages online reputation.

Like many food businesses, it had many satisfied customers, but only a small share left Google reviews.

To solve this, they implemented Cacao, a platform built to help restaurants and multi-location brands generate more reviews and manage Google reputation.

The challenge: turning satisfied customers into reviews

The issue was not service quality. The issue was the lack of a consistent system to generate reviews.

• Satisfied customers often do not leave reviews.
• Negative reviews appear more frequently.
• Reputation grows slowly.

Applied strategy

The strategy focused on making the review process as easy as possible.

1. QR-based review generation

QR codes were placed in the restaurant to send customers directly to the Google review form.

This lets customers leave reviews in seconds from their phones.

• Tables.
• Counter.
• Delivery materials.

2. WhatsApp review invitations

Besides physical QR, Sushi y Asi started sending review invitations through WhatsApp.

This helps follow up with recent customers and makes sharing feedback easy.

• Customer receives the link.
• Customer opens Google directly.
• Customer leaves a review in seconds.

3. Reputation monitoring

A key part of the strategy was active monitoring of reviews.

This is part of professional online reputation management.

• Reply to comments.
• Detect negative reviews.
• Maintain consistent activity on the Google profile.

Results

With Cacao, Sushi y Asi achieved:

• Higher Google review volume.
• Improved online reputation.
• More trust from new customers.
• Stronger Google Maps presence.

Why reviews are critical for restaurants

Google Maps is now one of the main discovery channels for restaurants.

When users decide where to eat, they compare businesses by rating, review volume, and recent activity.
