Questions to consider for your restaurant customer satisfaction survey

  • Do you offer takeaway and delivery, or can you remove that route entirely?
  • Which parts of the dining room experience do you want rated, such as booking, wait time or noise?
  • Who calls back an unhappy guest, and how quickly can they do it?
  • Where will you share the link: on the receipt, the table, or in the delivery bag?

How to use the responses

Call back every guest who asked for the manager before anything else, ideally the same day. Then look at scores by visit date and by dine-in versus takeaway, since a bad Friday night or a run of missing items points at a shift or a packing step rather than the menu. The dish comments are worth passing to the kitchen each week.

How to customize and share this template

  1. 1Change the rows in the dining grid to the parts of service you train staff on.
  2. 2Remove the delivery option if you don't deliver, or add one for events and catering.
  3. 3Print the link as a QR code on receipts or table cards, and add it to takeaway bags.

Frequently asked questions

What questions should a restaurant customer satisfaction survey include?

Ask about the food, the service, the value for money and an overall rating, then ask for the reason behind a low score. Keep it short enough to finish before the bill arrives.

How do I get diners to fill in a restaurant survey?

Put a QR code on the receipt or table card and ask while the meal is fresh. A chat that asks one question at a time feels quicker on a phone than a long page.

Can I use the same survey for dine-in and delivery customers?

Yes. This one asks how the order was received first, so delivery customers answer about accuracy and dine-in guests answer about the room and staff.

What should I do with bad restaurant feedback?

Reply quickly and personally. This survey lets unhappy guests ask for the manager and leave their details, so you can reach them before they write a public review.
