Reviews, without the gate
Every customer gets asked. Every answer goes public.No gate.
Chakusa sends a review request after every completed visit, not just the ones a business expects to go well. What comes back is published to the business's own profile, star rating and all.
- Who gets asked
- Every visit
- Filtered by rating first
- Never
- Who owns the profile
- The business
From visit to public review
Nothing is filtered before it goes out.
The same four steps run for every completed visit, regardless of how it's expected to go.
- 01Visit marked complete
The appointment is marked done in the business's Chakusa dashboard.
Business-triggered - 02Review request sent
The customer gets a short, direct request to rate the visit, sent to everyone, not a select few.
No pre-screening - 03Customer responds
A star rating and an optional note, submitted straight from the link, no account required.
1 tap - 04Published to the profile
The review appears on the business's public Chakusa profile as submitted.
Not filtered by score
The ethics of growth
Why zero-gating is the only lasting strategy
Sentiment-gated review platforms route unhappy customers into a private form. Regulators, review platforms, and customers themselves are increasingly aware of the difference.
The trap of review gating
Platforms that route only happy customers to a public review form, and quietly redirect everyone else to a private one, distort what the public sees.
- Policy risk: major review platforms and consumer-protection regulators treat sentiment-based routing as a deceptive practice.
- Lost feedback: real service problems never reach the business because the complaint was filtered out before it could be seen.
- Credibility loss: customers increasingly discount a suspiciously perfect rating with no visible criticism at all.
The Chakusa standard
Equal treatment for every completed visit. A business's reputation reflects what customers actually experienced.
- Every completed visit gets the same request, regardless of how it's expected to go.
- Businesses can respond publicly to any review, turning a rough visit into a visible, professional resolution.
- Reviews are tied to a real completed booking on the platform, not left open to anyone who stumbles onto the page.
