Happy customers often leave without leaving a review because nobody asks at the right time. Next Up Service connects review follow-up to the completed visit workflow so barbershops can send a Google review request while the customer experience is still fresh, while also capturing internal staff and business ratings inside the platform.
Review growth is usually inconsistent because it depends on memory.
These details are grounded in the current product workflows, so the page stays aligned with how the platform works today.
The completed-visit workflow can send a short NextUp review link that redirects to Google's write-review URL when Google Place ID is configured.
The visit tracks review_sms_sent so staff can avoid sending the same Google review request twice for one completed visit.
StaffReview stores visit-linked ratings and comments, and staff records maintain average rating and total review counts for internal visibility.
BusinessReview stores business-level ratings tied to visits, distinct from public Google review collection.
NextUp makes review follow-up part of the completed visit process.
The business profile stores the Google Place ID used to create the review link.
When completing a visit, staff can request a review SMS if the customer has a phone number and the review link is configured.
NextUp creates a short review path that redirects customers to the Google review page for the business.
The visit stores whether a review SMS was already sent, helping staff avoid duplicate requests.

The current workflow supports review request sending from the visit completion flow. It is best described as repeatable follow-up automation inside staff operations, not an uncontrolled blast to every customer.
