Key features of this restaurant and food service evaluation form template
Everything you need to launch this form in minutes, share it with your team, and collect submissions reliably.
QR-code friendly
The share link works as a QR code on receipts, table tents, or menu cards — guests scan and fill it in on their own phone, no app or login needed.
Star ratings on every category
Separate 1–5 ratings for food, service, cleanliness, ambience, and value give you a scoreable dataset instead of a wall of comments to read through.
Instant Slack alerts for bad reviews
Pipe every submission to a Slack channel and ping the manager-on-duty whenever an overall rating drops below 3 stars — so you can recover the guest before they leave.
Photo and receipt upload
Guests can attach a picture of the dish or the bill, which makes it far easier to investigate complaints or follow up on praise.
Mobile-first by default
The form renders cleanly on any phone, so a guest sitting at the table can complete it between coffee and the check.
Multi-location ready
Add a location dropdown and filter submissions by branch in Google Sheets — useful for chains or franchise operations comparing scores across sites.

Ways to use this template
Post-meal table feedback
Print the QR code on the back of the receipt or on a small table tent. Guests scan it while they wait for the check and submit a rating before they walk out.
Takeout and delivery follow-up
Email the form link 30 minutes after order completion so guests rate the food while it's fresh in their mind. Catch packaging issues, missing items, or temperature complaints early.
Mystery diner audits
Send the form to contracted mystery shoppers with a few extra fields — server upsell attempts, restroom check, wait time — and turn it into a structured store-audit tool.
New menu rollout testing
Add specific questions about the 3 new dishes for the first 30 days after launch, then drop those questions when the menu stabilizes. The AI editor handles the swap in seconds.
Event and private dining feedback
For weddings, corporate dinners, or private events, send a tailored version of the form to the host the next morning to capture overall satisfaction and willingness to rebook.
Multi-location score tracking
Franchise and chain operators add a location dropdown, then pivot the Google Sheet by branch to see which sites are trending up or down month-over-month.
Workflow integrations
Connect this form to your existing tools with no middleware. Every submission triggers your workflow automatically.
Real-time sync
Data appears in your CRM or spreadsheet within 1–2 seconds of submission — no cron jobs, no delays.
Conditional routing
Route submissions to different Slack channels, HubSpot pipelines, or Airtable bases based on field values.
Two-way data flow
Pre-fill form fields with CRM data for returning visitors. Update existing records instead of creating duplicates.

Frequently asked questions
How do guests actually find this form at the table?
Most operators print a QR code that links to the share URL, then place it on the receipt, the table tent, or a small card with the check. Guests scan it with their phone camera — no app download, no login. We've seen response rates 3–4x higher with QR placement on the receipt versus a "review us online" sticker by the door.
Can I get alerted when someone leaves a bad review?
Yes. Connect the form to Slack and set up a filter that pings the manager-on-duty channel whenever the overall rating is 3 stars or below. The submission lands in real time, which means you can often catch the guest before they've left the parking lot — and a free dessert or a comp on the next visit recovers far more goodwill than a written apology a week later.
We operate 14 locations. Can one form handle all of them?
Yes. Add a location dropdown at the top of the form, share the same link from every site's receipt or QR code, and Google Sheets will let you pivot or filter by branch. Most chains run a single form across the whole estate and split reporting downstream rather than maintaining 14 separate forms.
Is the form anonymous, or do we get contact details?
Both — guest name, email, and phone are optional fields, so diners can submit anonymously if they prefer. About 60–70% of respondents will leave at least an email if you explain you'll only use it to follow up on their feedback, which gives you a list of people you can re-engage when something is genuinely wrong.
Can we customize the form for a specific cuisine or service style?
Definitely. The AI editor lets you describe what you want — "add a question rating the freshness of the sashimi" or "remove the ambience rating, we're a takeaway shop" — and updates the form. You don't need a form-builder background. If you can write it in a sentence, FlexForm can render it.
We want to embed this in our existing customer app, not just share a link. Is that possible?
Yes. FlexForm ships a Kotlin Multiplatform mobile SDK that renders the same form natively inside Android and iOS apps. Hotel groups and delivery brands use it to keep the post-meal feedback flow inside their own app while still using FlexForm to manage the form definition and the response pipeline.
How long does it take guests to complete?
Around 90 seconds for the rating fields alone, or 2–3 minutes if they write a comment. The ratings are required and the open-text fields are optional, which keeps the floor reasonable for people who just want to tap 5 stars and move on.
Is there a cost to using this template?
No. The template, the share link, and the response collection are all included in the free forever plan. You only move to a paid tier if you need higher monthly volume, advanced workflows, or team seats for multiple managers reviewing submissions.
