How customers rate the cafes around me
How customers rate the best cafes around each of your branches, every week.
What it does
Every Monday: the 10 best-rated cafes within 1 km of each of your branches, how customers rate each judged by xMap AI from its rating and number of reviews, emailed as a digest and mapped.
In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, take your table, find coffee shops and cafes nearby, remove duplicates, score and rank them with xMap AI, then email the list to you and show them on a map.
Why it is useful
Your neighbours' ratings tell you what customers in your area expect and who is winning them. One digest a week replaces an hour of checking maps.
Who it is for

The time it saves
Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 90 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 6 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
