How it works

From one visit to a regular.

  1. A guest scans your table code

    Every table gets its own code. A visit logged from it is checked against where the guest is, and marked verified.

  2. They leave their verdict

    A tap or two to say how it was. In the app, they rank you against places they know.

  3. You see the ranked visits and answer them

    Ranked visits made in the app land in your inbox and on your dashboard. Reply in public, and post updates and offers.

Everything you need to keep them coming back.

  1. Dashboard

    See where you stand

    Your rank among similar places, how many guests loved you, and the places you’re most often compared against.

    • Rank among similar places
    • Loved share, reach and new guests
    • Who you’re compared against
  2. Loyalty card, Coming soon

    A loyalty card nobody has to download

    Not available yet. When it launches, guests will collect stamps by scanning your table code, the card will live in Apple Wallet, and your staff will confirm each reward with a PIN.

    • One stamp a day, from a real visit
    • Rewards confirmed with your staff PIN
    • No app needed for your guests
  3. Table codes

    Proof the visit happened

    A code for every table and the counter. A visit logged from it is marked verified, so everyone can tell who was really there.

    • Print a sheet for every table
    • Checked against the guest’s location
    • As many codes as your tables and counter need
  4. Inbox

    Answer every guest

    Each ranked visit made in the app lands in your inbox. Reply once, in public: thank them, or make it right.

    • Every ranked visit from the app
    • One public reply per visit
    • Invite your staff to help
  5. Posts

    Talk to people who already like you

    Share an update, new hours, an event or an offer. It reaches everyone who has ranked or saved your place.

    • Updates, hours, events and offers
    • Schedule it and set when it ends
    • Shown on your page as From the restaurant
  6. Menus

    Know your best dish

    Snap your printed menu. We read it and check it, then it goes live on your page. Guests rank your dishes, so you see what people really come back for.

    • Read from a photo, prices included
    • Dish rankings from real guests
    • Your top dishes on your page

How scores work

Scores come from guests.

  • One guest, one say

    Every score is built from the rankings of people who have been. Each person has one say on each place, and your own staff do not count at your place.

  • You can answer back

    You can reply to every visit in public, and report abuse.

  • Rewards never buy praise

    Stamps come from real visits, never from what a guest said, and no reward can target a rating.

So when you rank well, it means something.

Questions restaurants ask

How is my score decided?

Every score comes from the rankings of people who have been. Each person has one say on each place, going back does not make it count more, and your own staff do not count at your place.

Can I remove a bad review?

No. You can reply to every visit in public and report anything abusive. We review reports and remove what breaks the rules.

Do my guests need the app?

Not to answer your table code: anyone can leave a quick verdict on the web. But the inbox and dashboard show ranked visits made in the app, so a verdict left on the web does not reach them. Ranking you against other places, and keeping a list, happens in the app.

What do I need to start?

Tell us about your restaurant below. We reply within a day and walk you through claiming your page in the app. Once the claim is approved, your page, posts and replies work at once; table codes and staff invites open a week later, so that is when you can print your codes.

How do you know it’s really my restaurant?

We check that you run it before your tools switch on. Where we can, we send a code by text or call to the phone number on your listing, or by email to an address on your restaurant’s own website. Otherwise we check by hand, with you.

Will I see who my guests are?

You see every ranked visit, and the name of anyone with a public profile. Your loyalty card shows collector codes and counts, never a list of who holds it. That’s why guests are happy to scan.

Where is it live?

Wane launches in the UAE first. Places across nine countries in the Middle East are already on the map, so yours is probably there.

What does it cost?

Everything listed under Free is free: your page, posts, replies, dashboard, table codes and staff accounts. Loyalty will be a paid plan when it launches. There is no price yet, and there is nothing to pay today.
