Ratings, Reviews & Guest Etiquette

Going to a WeFiFo event should be as easy and relaxed as going to a friend’s house for a bite to eat. Money won’t change hands (we’ve taken care of that) and you will have been hand-picked and approved by your host so you really should consider yourself an invited guest.

As such, normal rules apply! Do, by all means, take a bunch of flowers, a box of chocolates or a gift on arrival. Do by all means write a thank you note afterwards… but there is one vital difference when you’re a WeFiFo guest…

Ratings for a host are the equivalent of tipping in a restaurant and though you won’t be leaving a cash tip, being generous in your ratings and reviews is the expected way to show your appreciation at WeFiFo.

Ratings and Reviews are vital to your host. They are the method that WeFiFo uses to confirm an event has taken place and this confirmation triggers a payment. As such your host will be extremely grateful if they receive a prompt rating as soon after the event as possible.

But ratings and reviews are also the means through which our hosts build their reputation and earn more money. Good ratings and reviews will help them get promoted up the WeFiFoodchain and with each promotion they will earn more money, so please support their venture by rewarding good food and great hospitality with a positive review.

To date, every WeFiFo event has been a thing of great joy… but we’re sure there will be meals that don’t come up to expectation and there will be occasions that disappoint. Be honest with your ratings (they act as a great signpost for other guests interested in booking) but be kind. Your host may well be doing this for the very first time and constructive feedback will really help them improve their service while harsh words could well damage their confidence irreparably.

Finally, remember, ratings and reviews are a two way street! As a guest you too will be rated, and your rating will make a big difference when you’re trying to book a seat next time. Good manners (including sharing the drinks you take to an event!) are part of our culture at WeFiFo so try to be sensitive to other guests' opinions and make sure you behave in the way you’d like people to behave in your own home.

Good behavior is always rewarded at WeFiFo. Every time you complete your reviews you’ll receive 2 cookies!

Happy sharing!
