Score student reliability to filter out ghosts before they book
Operators of student-focused restaurant reservation apps face high churn rates as students frequently ghost bookings, causing restaurants to refuse payment for unreliable leads.
GhostScore builds a reliability score for each student based on past bookings and app data. Low-score students get extra scrutiny or blocks, ensuring high-quality leads for restaurants. Operators see score-based filtering in their dashboard to boost payment acceptance.
