The 4-star you ignored just cost you next weekend’s brunch rush.

Sydney diners scroll Google and Broadsheet before they book. One unanswered review about slow service on a Bondi Saturday and three parties defect to the café on the corner. The place next door replied in 40 minutes, thanked the guest, and booked their return visit.

Built by an engineer
who gets local restaurants

I built this because I watched restaurant owners ignore great reviews — not because they don’t care, but because running a restaurant is a full-time job. 89% of consumers are more likely to visit a business that responds to all reviews (BrightLocal), and a single unanswered negative review can cost you ~30 potential customers (Spokk). Big reputation agencies charge $500/month for what this does for $29. I’ve built products for 50+ clients over the last 5 years. If you have questions, you’re talking to me directly.

I’m based in Dubai but built Platero for scenes like Sydney — where Broadsheet watchers, a 4-star Google rating, and the Bondi weekend brunch crowd decide whether Saturday is packed or half-empty.

Serving restaurants in Surry Hills, Bondi, Newtown, Darlinghurst, Manly & Barangaroo.
