What happens when a stranger rates your food and you never see it?

A one-star rating lands, you do not notice for a day, and when you do there is nowhere sensible to answer. A business that never replies reads as a business that does not care. A rating from a night you never served does the same damage as a fair one.

Many food businesses are rated on Mosey before the owner has signed in. Claiming the listing is free, and it puts you in charge of what people see and how you answer.

How do you claim and fill in your listing?

Search for your business, confirm that it is yours and sign in. Your listing already holds what Mosey knows, so you correct it rather than typing from scratch. Add your hours, a cover photo, your best dishes and a couple of lines about what you cook. A photo of your paper menu gets the dishes in quickly; read every price before you publish.

Why does a rating of a dish help more than a star average?

Diners rate the dish they ate and add a photo. One well-rated plate can bring in someone who has never heard of you, because they searched for the dish, not for your name. A number out of five tells a kitchen little. A photo of the burger and what the diner said about it tells you what to keep.

How do you reply well?

Open the reviews list, read what the guest said and reply under your business name. A calm, specific reply is read by the next person deciding where to eat: thank the guest, say what you will do and offer to talk by message.

You cannot delete a rating, and nobody can pay to hide one. That is why guests trust them. A rating that breaks the rules, such as abuse or a rating from someone who was never there, can be reported for moderation.

What do the top spots on Mosey mean?

Mosey Gold is an earned mark that comes from ratings alone, so it cannot be bought, boosted or paid for. Mosey picks are lists built from guest ratings of what they ate. A pick publishes only when it holds at least three businesses, and the same rules apply to every one.

Where the rules differ

A listing works the same in every state. Two things are worth knowing.

Claiming
Claiming and replying are free everywhere. The call to action on this page goes to the free listing.
Names and photos
A diner's name shows beside a rating only when they agreed to share it.

Rules change. Check any rule that matters to you with your accountant or adviser.

What Mosey is about

  • Affordable tools for food businesses

    Tools priced for independents and small chains, not for the big groups.

  • A full suite, in one login

    The tools a restaurant, café or bar needs sit together, so you are not paying for a stack of separate subscriptions.

  • You keep more of your revenue

    Mosey is built so that more of every sale stays with the business that made it.

  • Free to list and claim

    Your menu, your replies to guests and your photos cost nothing to put on Mosey.

  • No hidden fees

    What Mosey charges is published, in full, so nothing arrives as a surprise on a statement.

  • Made for local food businesses

    Mosey helps diners find independent food businesses by dish and mood, and lets people rate what they actually ate.

Questions owners ask

  • Does it cost anything to be listed?

    No. Listing, claiming, ratings, replies and your listing's town page are free.

  • Can I reply to a bad rating?

    Yes. Open reviews and reply under your business name. Keep it short and specific.

  • Can I delete a rating I disagree with?

    No. A rating belongs to the diner. If it breaks the rules you can report it.

  • Who on my team can reply?

    People with the reply to ratings permission. Owners and managers have it by default.

  • Can I buy Mosey Gold?

    No. It is earned from ratings alone.

  • My business is already on Mosey. How do I take it over?

    Search for it by name and town, confirm it is yours and sign in. If it is not listed, add it.

  • How do I get more ratings?

    Ask your regulars in person and keep your page link on a card at the register. Ask them to rate what they enjoyed.
