How They Respond to Reviews
The owner relies heavily on a small set of repetitive templates to respond to positive reviews, often using identical phrasing regardless of the reviewer's specific comments. While they do attempt to provide a professional channel for addressing negative feedback, the responses lack genuine personalization.
