The Platform

Measure. Understand. Act. Improve.

One system for every angle you have on the guest.

Three streams that separately tell you half a story. Together, they surface hundreds of audits, thousands of surveys, and thousands of reviews per cycle — pulled from your existing stack through a single data layer.

Mystery audits

Operational truth from inside your venues.

A trained diner visits, follows a custom questionnaire, and reports on service, cleanliness, standards and product quality. Backed by 10,000+ diners in the UK and a partner network worldwide.

See mystery audits
Surveys

Perception the moment it forms.

Trigger a short, contextual survey right after the visit, via wifi, booking flow, receipt QR, or your app. Every answer ties back to venue, visit and dish, and Halo diagnoses the pattern across thousands of responses without any survey fatigue.

Reviews

Every platform your guests write on, one queue.

Import ratings and comments from 17 platforms across social review, booking and delivery. Respond to Google and Facebook directly from HGEM, compare per channel and per location, and benchmark against local competitors.

Halo diagnoses the why, not just the what.

Halo reads every audit, review, and piece of feedback across your estate — not summarising, diagnosing. A typical diagnosis cross-references 300+ audits, 4,000+ surveys and 1,000+ reviews in 1–2 seconds. Ranks fixes by projected revenue impact, so your team doesn't have to guess where to spend attention.

Response to the guest. Action plan to the team.

Every diagnosis Halo makes turns into two things at once. Reviews and complaints get answered — auto-published in your brand voice or drafted for approval, within the guardrails you set. Operational patterns get an action plan — owned by a named person, tracked to completion, with impact measured after.

Predict the outcome. Before you commit.

Halo models the commercial impact of an operational change before you make it — using your estate's own data, not industry averages. Measures the delta after each cycle. Board-ready ROI evidence closes the diagnosis, and Halo carries what worked into next month's read.

Attach your tech stack.

Your CRM knows the guest. Your POS knows the order. Your reviews know how it went. Halo reads all three at once. Because a signal from one tool tells you something happened. The pattern across all three tells you what to do about it.

Reviews & delivery

Every review platform your guests write on, one queue.

Import ratings and comments from every social review platform and delivery aggregator. Respond to Google and Facebook directly from HGEM. Compare performance per channel and per location, and benchmark against local competitors.

Bookings & hotels

The review stream you'd otherwise miss.

Guests review restaurants inside their booking platforms and hotels through OTAs. HGEM ingests those reviews too, tied back to visit and venue — so a slow starter-to-main on OpenTable and a low value-for-money on Booking.com surface in the same diagnosis.

OpenTable and Booking.com exclude reviews with no comments. The Fork was previously Bookatable. DishCult was previously ResDiary.

CRM & segmentation

Recognise the guest. Prefill the survey.

Use your CRM to invite guests who left a digital footprint (booking, wifi) to provide feedback. Pre-populate surveys with visit date, location, guest ID, order ID or dish codes. Pass headline results back for campaign segmentation via our API or a regular file export.

POS & menus

Only rate what the guest actually ordered.

Import your menu so we capture feedback on the dishes or products that matter. Options depending on your POS: send dish codes straight to the feedback site, send an order ID for us to look up, or receive a daily export of orders. Product-level ratings without the noise.

Analytics & BI

Your BI stack, powered by HGEM data.

HGEM gives you reporting and analysis out of the box, but many clients want the data in their own BI system alongside sales and labour. Developers can use the HGEM Key Results API for visit and question results across audits, feedback, and reviews — or take a regular data extract to an sftp server or inbox.

Complaints & tasks

The right ticket, in the right system, in real time.

Trigger support tickets in Zendesk or Freshdesk based on your parameters (score thresholds, sentiment, keywords). Tickets are created in the name of the requester so you can respond directly. Or push tasks to Trail, or to Fourth Engage for employee-facing follow-ups.

Gift cards & vouchers

Send recovery, right from HGEM.

For those with a toggle or Eagle Eye account, send gift cards directly from HGEM in response to guest feedback. Or provide us a series of voucher codes and expiries and we send them from your email domain — an effective incentive for repeat visits where it fits the brand.

Operators running the full loop

What closing the loop looks like in numbers.

Frequently asked

What operators ask before switching.

The short answers. Longer conversations happen in demos.

How does Halo decide which reviews to auto-respond to?
Guardrails are configured per operator. You set which star ratings auto-send (some operators allow 4- and 5-star, others require human review on everything below 5), which venues, which brand voice, business hours or 24/7, and escalation policies. Anything outside your guardrails gets a full draft ready for you to approve, edit, or override.
How long does Halo take to respond to a review?
A diagnosis runs in 1–2 seconds. Reviews within your guardrails auto-publish in seconds. Complaints and lower-star reviews get a full draft in ~12 seconds. Total review response cycle: about 45 seconds from a review landing to a published reply.
How does Halo learn across cycles?
Every cycle Halo carries what worked and what didn't into the next diagnosis. The predictive impact model recalibrates against measured outcomes. Halo's read on your estate sharpens over time — the fifth month's diagnosis draws on everything the first four surfaced.
Can I start with one module and add others later?
Yes. Most operators start with Reviews (lowest friction) or Mystery Audits (HGEM's heritage strength) and add the others as they scale. Halo runs across whatever data you're sending in from day one and gets sharper each time you add a stream.
How long does implementation take?
6 to 8 weeks from signed contract to first audit or survey live. Managed by HGEM's team: we build the questionnaires, configure the platform, set up user accounts, and run rollout. Your team's role is to approve, provide venue data, and show up for training.
Which systems does HGEM integrate with?
POS (Oracle, Toast, Lightspeed), CRM (Bloomreach, Salesforce, HubSpot), reservations (SevenRooms, OpenTable, ResDiary), and review sources (Google, TripAdvisor, Facebook, Yelp). Integrations are configured during onboarding. Open API for custom needs.
What size operator is HGEM built for?
Multi-site hospitality operators running 15 to 200+ venues across restaurants, pubs, QSR, leisure, and competitive socialising. Below 15 venues the platform is available; the closed-loop advantage compounds with estate size.
Do we own our data? What happens if we leave?
You own your data. Full export at any time in standard formats. No lock-in clause. HGEM is backed by Volaris Group under Constellation Software, which never sells its businesses — the platform will be here for the long term, but you're never trapped in it.
