A little reading to begin with
A SAMPLE FROM CHAPTER ONEBegin with a specific service question rather than a wish to collect praise. For example, you may want to understand whether customers could find the collection instructions. That is a narrower purpose than measuring how much everyone loves the business. Write the decision a response might inform and who can make that decision.
Check whether feedback is the appropriate evidence. A broken booking link may need a technical investigation rather than a survey. A complaint requires its own responsible process. Do not ask customers to provide sensitive details simply because a broad question could produce interesting stories. Collecting more information does not automatically produce a clearer answer.
Ask the owner to define who may view responses, what will be recorded and how the approved system handles them. These are design questions for the real process, not promises to invent in a worksheet. Privacy and sector requirements need competent review before collection. A voluntary invitation alone does not establish the legal basis for processing personal information.
Create a purpose sentence that staff can explain without technical language. Keep it separate from marketing goals, staff performance ranking and customer profiling. If the business wants to use feedback for a new purpose later, that needs its own assessment rather than a quiet expansion. An operational question should remain recognisable in every invitation and every report made from the responses.
