What do you like best about SMG - Service Management Group?

I like that it basically provides a secret shop for the guest experience from start to finish. I also enjoy that it allows a guest to request contact from a manager if there is an issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SMG - Service Management Group?

I am a multi-unit manager and I think I don't like the functionality when shuffling between locations. One example of this is that for the "Text Analytics" option, I can't sort by location so all the comments from all the locations are mixed up into one. Sometimes I would like to isolate for just 1 location at a time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SMG - Service Management Group solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows us to see a 360 degree view of the guest experience through their eyes. With that information, it allows us to improve on every guest touch point and correct any specific guest complaints as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about SMG - Service Management Group?

SMG has always provided us with unique insights to drive high guest satisfaction. The tool's possibilities are almost infinite; however best part of SMG is THE TEAM. They are always there to back you up, support you and give you the best proffessional service. I can tell I'm a very demandable customer, but I always felt supported. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about SMG - Service Management Group?

My main dislike would be the extra pay for some features. SMG offers incredible tools to make great deep analysis and make data driven decisions; however, to access to some of these extremely useful functionalities, sometimes you have to pay more. I don't blame them this is business. But as a customer, I'd love to have more and more access to these amazing features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is SMG - Service Management Group solving and how is that benefiting you?

We centralized most of our customer feedback into one tool, making the restaurant manager's lives much easier. Also, this helps a lot to make them accountable for their own results, boosting their motivation and their teams'. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
