The review just sits
A guest was happy, or they were not. Either way, the next person meets your silence before they meet the menu.
From Providence, Rhode Island
MainStreet Reply drafts and posts replies for independent restaurants and shops. Google reviews, Facebook and Instagram comments and DMs, and customer email. In your voice. $49 a month.
Typical reputation platforms often cost $300 a month or more. This is that follow-up habit, priced for a small business, with you still in charge of what gets sent.
We are starting with restaurants in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Other local shops come after that.
No contract. Cancel anytime. Run by Jeremy Sanchez in Providence.
Card checkout is not open on this site yet. Start takes you to the demo form. Nothing is charged from this page.

“Came in after the late game. The chowder was exactly right.”
Draft reply
Glad you made it in after the game. We’ll keep the chowder coming. Thanks for taking a minute to write this.
Waiting for your approval
A picture of the approval step. No real guest is quoted on this site.
People read the latest review, and whether anyone answered it, before they pick a place. A thank-you never sent, or a complaint left hanging, is what they see. The same goes for a DM about a reservation or an email about a large order.

Hours, parking, a birthday, a dozen sandwiches. Small notes decide a visit. If they wait until you close, someone else already said yes.

You are on the line, on the floor, or locking up. “Reply to reviews” loses to service every night. That gap is the whole job.
Launch is concierge style on purpose. You add a manager and forward the mail. You do not learn a new dashboard.
Step 1
Add MainStreet Reply as a manager on your Google Business Profile and on the Facebook or Instagram account you want covered. Forward the inbox customers already email. You can remove that access whenever you want.
Step 2
On a short call, Remy asks how you talk to guests: the sign-off, what you will make right, and words you would never use. An AI model writes the first draft. A person in Providence is accountable for the account.
Step 3
The default is that you approve replies before they post. You can allow automatic sending for simple thank-yous and factual questions. Complaints, refunds, and anything about a person can stay in the approval pile. You pick the rule, and you can change it.
One flat price for the channels below. If you run several locations or a very high volume of messages, say so on the demo. We would rather tell you if this plan is a poor fit before you pay.
Those products are broad software suites, often priced around $300 a month and up. MainStreet Reply is the reply work itself, done with you, for $49 a month. This is a description of the usual shape of that category, not a claim about any named company.

MainStreet Reply is new. There are no customer logos, star ratings, or testimonials on this site. Nobody has agreed to be quoted, and we will not invent any. If you become a client and later want to say something, we will ask first.
Yes. A language model writes the drafts. It is not a robot account you never meet. Remy (Jeremy Sanchez, in Providence) sets up your voice and the rules for what may send on its own, and writes the weekly summary. Routine replies can go out without a person reading each one, and only if you turn that on. If a week of replies sounds wrong, you say so and we change the instructions.
That is the aim. You share replies you have already sent, if you have them, and the words you will not use. You can edit any draft before it posts. It will miss sometimes. That is why approval exists. We would rather sound like the person behind the counter than like a brand department.
Only when you say so. The default is that you approve every reply. You can allow automatic sending for a narrow set of routine messages, such as a thank-you for a warm review or a factual answer you have already approved as a pattern. Complaints can stay manual. You can turn automatic sending off whenever you want.
Manager access on your Google Business Profile. Manager access, or the equivalent, on the Facebook Page and Instagram account you want covered. A forward from the email address customers already write to. And about ten minutes to talk through how you like to reply. There is no software to install. You can revoke access at any time.
Providence, Rhode Island. The service starts with restaurants in Rhode Island and Massachusetts, then other kinds of local shops. If you are just outside that, write anyway. We will tell you if we can take it on.
There is no annual contract. You can stop before the next month, and that next month is not billed. We do not offer a money-back guarantee, and we do not refund a month that has already started.
No. Replying is a good habit. It is not a promise about stars, rankings, or revenue, and we do not advertise a guaranteed response time.
Tell us the shop and which inbox is the messy one. Remy (Jeremy Sanchez) reads these and writes back from Providence to find ten minutes.
No card for the call. If $49 a month is a poor fit, we will say so.
