Bacu: multi-location restaurants in Colombia

Bacu is a Colombian restaurant brand built around good food for everyday life, with an operation that includes restaurants, pick up, catering, and recurring customer experiences.

The brand operates in Medellin, Bogota, Cajica, and Chia, with 20 active Google profiles managed through Cacao.

For a restaurant operation of this size, reputation does not live in one profile. Each location needs fresh reviews, visible replies, and control over what customers are saying.

The challenge: reputation spread across locations

Before implementing Cacao, Bacu was not replying to reviews systematically and did not have a clear view of the average rating for each location.

The team was also not generating positive reviews every day or receiving operational alerts when negative reviews appeared.

The goal was to move from manual, reactive work to centralized Google review management for restaurants that was measurable and consistent across locations.

The strategy: in-store QR and the right profile

Cacao implemented an in-store QR review request flow so customers could leave feedback after their restaurant experience.

Each QR sends the customer to the correct Google profile, preventing reviews from landing on the wrong branch or a generic brand profile.

This turned the restaurant touchpoint into a continuous source of authentic reviews by location.

Centralized replies to every review

Bacu started replying to every review from a centralized workflow, keeping each Google profile active.

Replying does more than improve public perception. It shows customers that feedback receives attention and that the customer experience matters.

With Cacao, the team can maintain a multi-location review management operation without manually checking profile by profile.

Alerts and negative feedback analysis

Another key change was no longer discovering negative reviews late. With Cacao, Bacu can detect critical comments and understand which locations need attention.

In addition to monitoring the average rating by location, the platform helps identify recurring themes in customer feedback.

For multi-location restaurants, this matters because reviews become operational intelligence: service, wait times, food, atmosphere, staff attention, and other patterns that can repeat across stores.

Results in 30 days

In one month, Bacu built a more organized operation to generate, reply to, and analyze Google reviews.

The result was not only more review volume. It was more control over the local reputation of each restaurant.

Why this matters for multi-location restaurants

When someone decides where to eat, they often compare restaurants on Google Maps before visiting, ordering, or booking.

A chain can have a strong brand, but if one location has few recent reviews, unanswered comments, or visible customer issues, that branch can lose customers to nearby competitors.

That is why Bacu centralized its Google reputation: to keep corporate visibility while preserving local detail for every restaurant.
