Sound familiar?

You didn’t open a café to do admin.

  • “Hundreds of reviews. No time to read them.”

    Praise and complaints are buried across months of reviews, and the replies pile up unanswered.

    Fixed by Review Intelligence
  • “The phone rings mid-service.”

    Someone leaves the floor to answer — or it rings out, and the booking goes to the place next door.

    Fixed by AI Table Booking
  • “The rota lives in a group chat.”

    Availability chased over WhatsApp, a spreadsheet one person understands, and shifts that clash.

    Fixed by Staff Rota
  • “Where did the money actually go?”

    Delivery-app commission and supplier price creep hide across five portals until month-end.

    Fixed by Payments & POS

    Saturdays: when the queue starts costing you

    9 of 12 wait complaints land between 11:00 and 14:00.

    Google’s peak-hours data lines up with the reviews. One more barista on Saturday late morning would cover it.

One day, four modules

When you’re ready, switch on the rest.

Each module works on its own. No rollout project, no contracts. Here’s one day at Rosemary & Rye with all four switched on.

  1. Review Intelligence

    The Monday report lands

    Rating held at 4.6. Complaints about slow at peak hours are rising — 12 in 14 days. Friendly staff is still what people mention most. 10 replies are drafted and waiting.

How it works

From a pile of reviews to a short list.

Start free with one link. Add the rest when you’re ready.

  1. Step 01

    Share your Google Maps link

    Or type your venue’s name. That’s the whole setup — no integration to install.

  2. Step 02

    Get your report in minutes

    We read every review, group them into themes and find the 3–5 venues you’re compared with.

  3. Step 03

    Switch on the rest when ready

    Add the booking agent, the rota or the payments dashboard. Each works on its own.

Why Algonix

House rules.

Pinned up by the pass, so they’re never forgotten. Built to be trusted at 8am, before the first coffee.

  1. Quotes are word for word.

    Every quote is lifted exactly from a real review. We never paraphrase a guest.

    Verbatim
  2. Numbers are counted, never guessed.

    Counts, trends and commission are computed from stored data — never estimated by a model.

    Computed
  3. Nothing posts without your click.

    Replies stay drafts, rotas stay drafts until you publish, and the agent only offers free tables.

    You approve
  4. Built for independents.

    No contract

Questions

Questions owners ask

Something else? Start with the free report

Is the review report really free?
Yes. Your first review report is free with no card. You only pay if you switch on a module later.
Do I have to buy all four products?
No. Each product works on its own. Most venues start with the free review report and add the others when they need them.
Will anything post or send automatically?
No. Replies are drafts until you post them, and rotas are drafts until you publish. You stay in control.
Do I need to install anything?
No. The review report starts from your Google Maps link, and everything runs in the browser and on your phone.
Can I try it before I sign up?
Yes — there’s a live sample report plus interactive demos of the booking agent, the staff rota and the payments dashboard.

Your guests already wrote your to-do list.

Share your Google Maps link and we’ll have it read, sorted and drafted in a few minutes.
