Thumbs-up / thumbs-down feedback

How and when to use the thumbs buttons on call cards — what we do with the signal, and why both directions matter.

The fastest way to tell us when Foodie nails something — or when she doesn't. Both signals matter. Both are anonymous to the guest.

Where the buttons live

On every call card in the Inbox: a thumbs-up and a thumbs-down.

Thumbs-down

Use when:

  • Foodie got the date / time / party size wrong.

  • The booking landed in the wrong venue.

  • Foodie said something out of brand voice.

  • The transfer didn't work.

  • The guest sounded confused or frustrated.

Click thumbs-down → a short feedback form opens. Tell us what went wrong in your own words. Submit.

What happens next: the feedback goes to the Tablevoice team that tunes Foodie. We see it in real-time. For patterns, we adjust your venue's configuration; for one-offs, we use it to improve Foodie generally.

Thumbs-up

Use when:

  • Foodie handled something tricky beautifully.

  • A complaint was de-escalated well.

  • A multi-language call worked smoothly.

  • A complex group request was captured perfectly.

Click thumbs-up. No form needed. We see it.

What happens next: thumbs-ups feed our internal QA. They tell us what's working and where to leave well enough alone.

Why both matter

We could just track thumbs-downs. We don't, because:

  • Thumbs-up calls show us what good looks like for your venue.

  • Pattern-matching against thumbs-up examples helps us tune Foodie globally.

  • It's a low-effort way to celebrate wins with your team.

A note on AI behavior

AI systems are non-deterministic. Even with the same configuration, you'll occasionally see a response that surprises you — sometimes a one-off, sometimes a pattern. Thumbs-down is the fastest way to surface either kind.

Tip: build the thumbs-feedback habit

In the first 2–3 weeks, encourage your team to thumb every memorable call — good or bad. Once Foodie is tuned, thumbs become rarer (the unremarkable bookings don't need a vote). That's a sign things are working.
