Unlock This Growth The Difference
Built for the rush at the front desk. Made for businesses proud of their craft.
Whether it's a pizzeria on a Saturday night or a barbershop with a full chair, the appointment book gets smudged and forgotten, and most happy customers leave without ever writing a Google review.
Star Pilot transforms phone bookings into an automatic, dignified, policy-compliant review engine. Customers get messaged at the ideal moment, give you private feedback first, and push your Google rating to the top of your neighborhood.

Common Inquiries
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about setting up Star Pilot for your business.
Q. What kind of businesses is Star Pilot for?
Any local business that takes bookings or appointments and lives on its Google rating: pizzerias and restaurants, barbershops, tattoo studios, hair and beauty salons, clinics, gyms, garages, pet groomers and more. If your staff can write down a name and a phone number, Star Pilot can follow up.
Q. Does this comply with Google’s review guidelines?
Yes, 100%. Google prohibits "review gating": filtering customers so only happy ones are sent to Google. Star Pilot offers your Google review link to every customer regardless of rating. The score only changes the emphasis, never whether the link is there.
Q. Why WhatsApp instead of SMS or email?
SMS is plagued by carrier spam filters and low click-through, and email open rates for local businesses hover around 20%. WhatsApp messages get read, carry your verified business name, and open the rating page with one tap.
Q. How much time does this take for front-desk staff?
Less than 10 seconds per booking. The desk tool is built for someone holding a phone in one hand while talking to a customer: name, phone number, time, and an optional note. Returning customers are one tap.
Q. What happens if a booking is cancelled or a no-show?
Marking a booking as cancelled or no-show cancels its review request immediately, and the system re-checks the booking right before sending. Each booking can only ever produce one message, so no customer is messaged twice.
Q. Can we choose when the request is sent?
Yes. The default is 3 hours after the appointment time, which suits a dinner or a haircut. Tattoo studios and clinics often prefer the next day. You can set any delay from immediately up to a week in your settings.
