# How a Copenhagen Bar Automated Their Review Management in 14 Days
Most review management fails because it requires daily manual work. This is the story of how one Copenhagen bar eliminated that entirely.
The Problem
Plugin Heat Club receives 8-12 Google reviews per week. Before automation:
- Average response time: 5 days
- 30% of reviews never got replies
- Owner spent 2 hours/week drafting responses
- No competitor monitoring
The Solution: Review Pilot
We built an AI-powered system that:
1. Monitors Google Maps + Trustpilot automatically
2. Drafts replies in the bar's own voice
3. Sends weekly reports with pre-written responses
4. Tracks competitor reviews for intelligence
The Setup Process
Total time: 14 days from signup to fully operational.
Week 1: Voice Detection
The system analysed:
- Bar's website copy
- Instagram captions
- Existing Google review replies
Result: Detected tone profile:
- Formality: 4/10 (casual but professional)
- Style: "We appreciate you" not "Thank you for your feedback"
- Always mentions specific details from reviews
- Danish primary, English secondary
Week 2: First Reports
Day 8: First weekly report delivered
Day 10: First AI-drafted reply approved
Day 14: System running autonomously
The Results
Response time:- Before: 5 days average
- After: 6 hours average (email check + approve)
- Before: 70% of reviews replied
- After: 100% replied within 24 hours
- Before: 2 hours/week drafting
- After: 10 minutes/week approving
Weekly reports now include:
- Nearest competitor rating trends
- What competitors' unhappy customers complain about
- Opportunities to differentiate
Example insight: "3 competitor reviews this week mentioned slow service. Your speed is a differentiator — highlight it more."
The Technical Stack
No complex integrations needed:
- Lobstr.io for review scraping (Google + Trustpilot)
- Claude API for AI reply generation
- Supabase for data storage
- Resend for weekly email delivery
Total cost per month: €32 (€29 subscription + €3 infrastructure)
What Makes This Different
Most review management tools:
- Require OAuth setup (technical, breaks easily)
- Use generic templates (customers can tell)
- Need daily monitoring
Review Pilot:
- Managed onboarding (we find your review profiles)
- Learns your actual voice from existing content
- Weekly batching (not daily noise)
The Owner's Take
"I was spending 2 hours every Sunday replying to reviews. Now I spend 10 minutes Monday morning approving pre-written replies. The AI writes better than I do — more specific, always positive, never forgets to mention details from the review."
For Other Business Owners
This works for any business getting 5+ reviews per month:
- Restaurants and bars
- Dentists and medical practices
- Fitness studios
- Salons and spas
- Retail shops
The system is the same. The voice detection adapts to your business.
