You put a deal out so new people would come in. They sit down, enjoy the meal, pay and leave, and often nobody asks them to say so on Google.
This page covers how to list a deal on DealsPlug, why a deal visit is a good time to ask for a review, and how MyReviewFlow, from the same team, puts that ask on every table so your staff don't have to remember it.
How to list a deal on DealsPlug
DealsPlug finds restaurant freebies, BOGO offers and app deals, and checks the list every day. Here is how listing your own deal works once the DealsPlug app is out.
- Open a business account. Business accounts are made in the DealsPlug app, under Info, then For Business. The app is coming soon to iPhone and Android, so accounts can't be opened yet. Questions before then? Email info@dealsplugapp.com.
- Submit your deal. Every deal on DealsPlug has a photo and says what it is and how to get it: in store, with a code, in the app or online. Every submission is reviewed before it goes live, and approval isn't guaranteed.
- Your first deal is free. After that, each submission has a one-time fee, currently $19.99, plus sales tax where it applies. The fee isn't refunded if a deal isn't approved, but you can fix it and resubmit it once at no extra charge.
- Pay on the website. Payments happen on DealsPlug for Business, through Stripe, so DealsPlug never sees your card.
- Know the limits. Currently up to 3 live deals, 3 coming soon and 2 ongoing at once. No deals on alcohol, tobacco, vaping or cannabis, though restaurants and bars that serve alcohol are welcome.
- Already listed? If DealsPlug found your restaurant's deals on its own, you can ask to claim your listing. Once confirmed, deals you post show "Posted by the restaurant".
Approved deals show publicly on dealsplugapp.com and in the app. Regional deals only show in the states where they work. The full rules are in our Terms of Service.
Why a deal visit is a good moment to ask
A deal guest saw your offer, decided it was worth the trip, and came in on purpose. That is a different visit from someone who happened to walk past.
- They're in the moment. The food is in front of them and the visit is fresh. An email days later competes with everything else in their day. An ask at the table only competes with the last fry.
- Their phone may already be out. If your deal is used by showing a phone or a code, the device they'd review you on is already in their hand.
- They got good value. A guest who feels they got a good deal has one more reason to feel good about the visit.
- If something went wrong, you can still put it right. An unhappy guest is still in the building, so you can talk to them. Ask them for a review the same way you ask everyone else.
The catch: on a busy shift, nobody remembers to ask every table. A code on the table fills that gap.
What MyReviewFlow does
MyReviewFlow makes Google review QR stickers for restaurants. Put one on each table, and on counters, check presenters or takeaway bags. A guest points their phone camera at it and a page opens in their browser. There is no app to download.
The page carries your branding and links to your Google review page. Guests can also send private feedback that comes straight to you, and your dashboard shows the feedback that comes in.
Ask every guest the same way. Put the code where every guest sees it, whatever kind of visit they had, and let each guest choose for themselves where to post. Don't send only happy guests to Google or steer unhappy ones away from it. Google's review policy doesn't allow asking only for good reviews, and the FTC has warned that this kind of filtering, called review gating, can be deceptive. Offer private feedback to everyone as an extra choice, not as a filter.
Setup takes a few minutes: create your account, add your business and connect your Google review link. The stickers work the moment they're on the table.
What it costs
Every plan starts with a one-time $89.99 kit: 1,000 QR review stickers for your location. Then you pick a monthly plan.
- Starter, $49.99 a month. The branded guest review page and a private feedback inbox.
- Pro, $69.99 a month. Everything in Starter, plus guest email capture, an automatic coupon after a guest leaves feedback, a free table stand and a large printable in-store poster.
- Ultimate, $89.99 a month. Everything in Pro, plus sending coupons to your customer list whenever you choose.
On Starter that's $139.98 on day one, the first month plus the kit, then $49.99 a month. With more than one location, the kit and the plan apply to each one, all managed from one login. You can cancel any month from your billing page: the reviews you've collected stay on your Google listing, and the QR codes stop working when the subscription ends. Details are on the MyReviewFlow pricing page.
A worked example
This is an example with made-up round numbers. It is not a prediction for your restaurant. Swap in your own figures.
Say 40 guests a week come in on your deal, and 1 in 10 of them scans the code and leaves a Google review. That's 4 reviews a week, or 16 over four weeks.
Change the guess: at 1 in 20 it's 2 a week, at 1 in 5 it's 8. The point is that every deal guest passes an ask on the way to the check, and nobody on your team had to remember it.
For your real numbers, count last week's deal redemptions, note your Google review count today, put the codes on the tables, and look again in a month.
What it looks like in real stores
The same team runs three Smoothie King franchise stores near Chicago, in Evergreen Park, Orland Park and Homewood. They ask guests for reviews with plain QR code stickers in the stores. On October 26, 2026, the stores' public Birdeye listings showed 1,179, 526 and 541 Google reviews, rated 4.7, 4.8 and 4.7 stars. That is 2,246 reviews across three stores.
Older copies of the stores' Google listings on the ChamberofCommerce.com business directory, made in spring 2024 or later, show 528 five-star reviews. On October 26, 2026, Birdeye showed 1,989: a net 1,461 more five-star Google reviews across the three stores.
Nobody counted scans, so these numbers cannot say how many reviews came from the stickers. The stickers are also one of several things the stores do to look after guests. They went up in 2025, and the older copies may be from months earlier, so part of the rise may have come before any sticker. At Orland Park, about half of the store's rise in total reviews was already on the listing by February 9, 2025.
The stickers in these stores were plain printed codes, not MyReviewFlow, so none of these numbers is a result of MyReviewFlow. They are three stores' numbers, not a forecast for yours. The sources, and what the numbers can and cannot show, are in the MyReviewFlow case study. Smoothie King is not connected to DealsPlug or MyReviewFlow.
Put the two together
A deal on DealsPlug brings new guests in. A MyReviewFlow code on the table gives each visit a simple way to end in a review.
