Why reviews are crucial for restaurants
How restaurants use SwissTrustWidget
Badge on the homepage
Right below the restaurant name or hero image: "4.6 stars from 312 reviews". The guest immediately sees that hundreds of people have enjoyed eating here. That's more convincing than any self-promotion.
Carousel on the menu page
On the page where guests browse the menu, reviews mentioning specific dishes rotate. "The beef fillet was perfectly cooked" or "Best rösti in town" — exactly where the guest decides whether to come.
Review cards on the reservation page
Right next to the booking form or phone number: 3–5 cards with real guest testimonials. That's the final nudge before someone books a table.
Recommended widget templates
For restaurants, we recommend lively, inviting widget variants.
Badge Compact
For the header or next to the logo. Shows the star rating and review count at a glance. Takes up little space, instantly sparks interest.
Carousel
For the homepage or menu page. Displays reviews one at a time, switches automatically. Especially effective when guests mention specific dishes.
Grid (cards)
For the about or reservation page. 3–6 reviews side by side. Lively and inviting.
Slider with photo
If guests have uploaded photos with their reviews (dishes, ambiance, terrace). Photos of real food convince more than stock images.
What your website could look like
A restaurant with 312 Google reviews, averaging 4.6 stars.
Best rösti in town! Plus an excellent white wine from the lake region. The terrace with lake view is a dream.
The Zürich-style sliced veal was perfect. Attentive and friendly service. We'll definitely be back!
Setup takes under 2 minutes. No web developer needed.
FAQ
Do I need technical skills to embed the widget?
No. You copy a short code and paste it on your website — whether it's WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or another platform. It takes under 2 minutes and is as easy as embedding a Google Maps widget.
How much does the widget cost?
Free to try. For the version without branding, a one-time fee of CHF 89 — no subscription, no monthly costs. Whether you have 100 or 10,000 visitors per month: no page view limits.
Are new reviews displayed automatically?
Yes. SwissTrustWidget continuously syncs with your Google Business Profile. New reviews appear automatically on your website — even on busy days when you don't have time to manage it.
Can I hide negative reviews?
You can set a minimum star filter. Most restaurants display reviews from 4 stars upwards. Guests only see positive experiences.
Does the widget work with online reservation systems?
Yes. The widget integrates independently of your reservation system. It works alongside Resmio, Foratable, TheFork or any other system — they don't interfere with each other.
Does the widget affect my website's loading time?
No. The script loads asynchronously. Your website — including menu and images — renders normally. Reviews load in parallel. No impact on PageSpeed.
Is the widget Swiss DPA compliant?
Yes. SwissTrustWidget is a Swiss product that complies with the Swiss Data Protection Act (DPA). No external Google Fonts, no unnecessary trackers, data processing in Switzerland.
