Question 2: What is a restaurant guest data platform?

Answer: A restaurant guest data platform (CDP) unifies customer data from WiFi, POS systems, online ordering, reservations, websites, and reviews into a single guest profile, providing a unified view of each guest audience, like your super guests, new guests, guests that need attention, at-risk guests, lost guests, and guest intelligence. This guest intelligence enables restaurants to personalize marketing, improve operations, and increase guest lifetime value.

Question 3: How does Bloom Intelligence's restaurant marketing automation work?

Answer: Restaurant marketing automation utilizes AI to automatically segment guests, trigger personalized email and SMS campaigns based on behavior across all guest touchpoints (such as visit frequency, recency, sentiment, or order history), and track results down to revenue attribution. Bloom Intelligence customers recover an average of 38% of at-risk guests through automated win-back campaigns and increase guest lifetime values by an average of 43%.

Question 4: What is Bloom's Restaurant Reputation Management?

Answer: Bloom’s Restaurant Reputation Management is an AI-powered system that helps restaurants protect and enhance their online reputation across all major review and reservation platforms—automatically and 24/7. How It Works Bloom unifies review data from Google, Yelp, Facebook, TripAdvisor, OpenTable, Tock, and other platforms into a single dashboard, allowing restaurants to monitor guest sentiment in real-time. The platform uses AI to analyze reviews, respond to reviews, identify emerging issues, and surface actionable insights about what guests are saying across all channels. Key Capabilities Automated Review Response: Bloom’s AI generates personalized, on-brand responses to reviews within minutes, maintaining your restaurant’s voice while promptly addressing both praise and concerns. The system can respond to positive reviews with gratitude and handle negative feedback with empathy—all while you focus on running your restaurant. Sentiment Analysis: The platform categorizes reviews by topic (food quality, service, cleanliness, employees, or custom keywords) and sentiment, creating word clouds and trend reports that reveal exactly what’s working and what needs attention. This transforms scattered feedback into clear operational intelligence. Multi-Location Management: For restaurant groups, Bloom enables reputation monitoring and response across all locations from one interface, with customizable automation rules that respect each location’s unique voice. Operations Integration: Bloom transforms sentiment, orders, and guest behavior into actionable operational smart alerts. When multiple guests mention the same issue (e.g., slow service during dinner rush, bathroom cleanliness, or specific menu items), the system automatically flags these patterns for management attention that can be sent to team members and tracked for progress reports. The Bottom Line Bloom’s reputation management operates 24/7 to ensure no review goes unnoticed or unanswered. By automating response workflows and surfacing critical insights, the platform helps restaurants increase ratings, recover at-risk guests, and turn online reputation from a reactive headache into a proactive revenue driver—all without requiring additional staff or marketing expertise.

Question 6: Do I need WiFi to use Bloom Intelligence?

Answer: Answer: No, you don’t need WiFi to use Bloom Intelligence. While WiFi analytics and WiFi landing pages is one powerful data source, Bloom also captures guest data from: POS systems (transaction data and guest information) Online ordering platforms (digital orders and guest profiles) Reservation systems (OpenTable, Tock, reservations, and reviews) Website forms (newsletter signups, contact forms) Review sites (Google, Yelp, Facebook, and TripAdvisor reviews) First-party surveys (post-visit feedback) Many successful Bloom customers use the platform primarily for POS integration, online ordering, and reputation management without offering WiFi. The platform creates unified guest profiles from whatever data sources you have available.

Question 7: What's the difference between Bloom Intelligence and traditional email marketing platforms?

Answer: Answer: Traditional Email Marketing: Manual campaign creation and segmentation Static email lists without behavioral data No integration with POS or foot traffic Can’t track campaigns to in-store visits or revenue Generic templates, not restaurant-specific No reputation management or review automation Bloom Intelligence: AI writes personalized campaigns using your brand voice and the voice of your guests automatically Built for restaurants Dynamic guest profiles with behavior, spend, visit history, and sentiment data Integrated with POS, WiFi, ordering, reservations, websites, and reviews Tracks campaigns to actual guest visits and transaction revenue Purpose-built for restaurant marketing with proven templates AI reputation management that responds to every review Guest Intelligence (orders, behavior, and sentiment) that drives operational smart alerts Key Difference: Traditional email platforms require manual work and can’t generate guest intelligence or connect marketing to operations and revenue. Bloom automates the entire process and tracks every campaign, from guests walking back in your door to the revenue they generate.

Question 8: Is Bloom Intelligence difficult to set up? Do I need technical skills?

Question 9: Can I use Bloom Intelligence for just one location, or do I need multiple restaurants?

Answer: Answer: While Bloom Intelligence is optimized for restaurant chains, single-location operators can also benefit—especially if you: Have high guest volume (1,000+ unique guests per month) Already collect guest data through WiFi, POS, website, reservations, reviews, or online ordering Want to compete with larger chains in your market Need automated reputation management across multiple review sites Need guest intelligence, operational intelligence, or to benchmark your performance Plan to expand to multiple locations in the future Recommendation: Single-location restaurants should evaluate whether the investment ($105-225/month) makes sense based on your guest volume and revenue goals. The ROI is typically stronger for multi-location operations due to economies of scale.

Question 10: Is Bloom Intelligence privacy compliant?

Answer: Answer: Yes, Bloom Intelligence is fully compliant with US and Canadian privacy regulations. All data collection requires explicit guest opt-in through: WiFi splash page consent forms Website form checkboxes Clear privacy policy disclosures Easy opt-out/unsubscribe options Privacy Features: Encrypted data storage and transmission Automatic data deletion upon guest request Clear consent management No selling of guest data to third parties Regular security audits Bloom only collects first-party data (data your guests voluntarily provide to you), which is the most privacy-compliant and effective approach to restaurant marketing.

Question 11: How does Bloom Intelligence's AI review response work? Will it sound robotic?

Answer: Answer: Bloom’s AI reputation management responds to every review on Google, Facebook, Yelp, and other platforms within minutes—using your restaurant’s unique brand voice, not generic templates. How Brand Voice Training Works: Initial Setup: You provide examples of your preferred response style, tone, and key messaging points AI Learning: Bloom’s AI analyzes your brand voice and creates responses that match your communication style Custom Keywords: Set specific terms, menu items, and phrases unique to your restaurant to track and score Review Before Publishing: You can review AI responses before publishing or let them publish automatically Response Quality: Personalized to each review (mentions specific dishes, staff names, or issues raised) Empathetic and human-sounding (not generic “Thank you for your feedback”) Addresses negative reviews with appropriate solutions and recovery offers Celebrates positive reviews with genuine gratitude and engagement Real Results: Responses published in realtime or based upon your brand rules (vs. hours or days with manual management) Saves 15-20 hours per week on review management (Beachside Hospitality Group case study) Higher review response rates improve local SEO rankings and customer perception Example: Instead of “Thank you for your review,” Bloom might write: “We’re thrilled you enjoyed the Nashville Hot Chicken, Marcus! Chef Tony puts his heart into that recipe. We can’t wait to welcome you back for Taco Tuesday—you mentioned loving spice, so you’ll love our new Ghost Pepper salsa!”

Question 12: Can Bloom Intelligence help me recover lost customers?

Answer: Answer: Yes, lost customer recovery is one of Bloom’s most powerful features. The platform automatically recovers an average of 38% of at-risk guests through AI-powered win-back campaigns. How it works: Automatic Guest Identification: Bloom’s AI monitors visit frequency for every guest and automatically identifies those at risk of churning (e.g., regulars who haven’t visited in 45+ days) Personalized Win-Back Campaigns: AI creates personalized email and SMS campaigns using your brand voice, often including targeted offers or incentives Behavioral Triggers: Campaigns are sent at optimal times based on each guest’s historical behavior and engagement patterns Revenue Tracking: Track recovered guests from campaign send through their return visit and actual transaction revenue Typical Results: 38% of at-risk guests recovered and returning within 60 days 20-30% increase in overall repeat visit frequency 43% increase in recovered guest lifetime value Unlike manual win-back campaigns that require hours of list building and copywriting, Bloom runs these automatically 24/7 without staff intervention.
