Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
[VERIFY] is an editorial flag, not a blank to fill. Wherever the prompt shows [VERIFY], check that item against a reliable source before you use it (what [VERIFY] means).
Write complaint response templates for my restaurant. Restaurant name and style: [RESTAURANT_NAME_AND_STYLE]. Common complaints we get: [COMMON_COMPLAINTS]. Who signs off public replies: [SIGN_OFF_PERSON]. What we can offer to make things right: [RECOVERY_OPTIONS]. Platforms where reviews appear: [REVIEW_PLATFORMS]. Produce templates for: slow service, food quality, wrong or missing order, cleanliness concerns, a billing error, a rude staff member claim, a booking problem, and an unfair or inaccurate review. For each, give a public reply of under 80 words, a private email of under 120 words, and a script for apologising in person in two sentences. Add rules for tone: acknowledge, do not argue, do not reveal private guest details, do not blame staff publicly, move details to private contact. Include a decision table with the columns Complaint type, First response time target, Who handles, Remedy options, Follow-up. Add a monthly review routine that counts complaints by type and shows the top three causes, with an example of the arithmetic for percentages. Do not invent facts about what happened; use bracketed placeholders for details. Any health-related complaint, such as claims of illness or an allergic reaction, must be escalated to the owner and handled under local regulation and insurance guidance [VERIFY]; do not admit liability in templates. Platform reply rules differ, so check them [VERIFY]. Add a worked example with invented figures: 24 complaints in a month, 9 about wait times, 7 about food temperature, and compute the percentages.
