July Update – Smarter Reviews, Square Integration and more…
July’s been and gone already – and with it, a wave of updates designed to give you more time, more insight, and a little less of the day-to-day pressure.
From our brand new Reviews+ feature to an integration we know you’ve been waiting for, here’s what’s shaping the future of hospitality tech this month.
Reviews+ is Live!
You asked – we built it.
Reviews+ is now available, and it’s designed to save you serious time on review management.
It does two things brilliantly:
- Automatically responds to reviews in your tone of voice (no robotic replies here).
- Gives you an AI-powered dashboard showing how your reviews compare to your local competition.
Whether you’re managing one site or scaling up across multiple venues, this tool is all about less firefighting, more insights.
Save time, stay consistent, and keep your reputation razor-sharp.
One Word: Square.
It’s been one of our most-requested integrations – and it’s nearly here.
We’re in the final stages of connecting Stampede with Square POS, unlocking a smoother way to sync data, streamline operations, and create more joined-up guest journeys.
More details dropping soon, but if you’re already using Square and want early access…

- Where AI works best
