How Restaurant Owners Use TapScan Cards
Place Card at Billing Counter
Position the NFC card next to your billing system or on a small stand. Customers naturally look at the counter while waiting for the bill.
Customer Taps with Phone
After a great meal, customers tap their iPhone or Android phone on the card. Works without any app - just like contactless payment.
Review Page Opens Instantly
Your Google Business Profile review page opens automatically in their browser. They write a review while you process payment.
Collect Authentic Reviews
Reviews appear on your Google Business Profile within minutes. New customers see them when searching for restaurants nearby.

Where to Place Review Cards in Your Restaurant
Billing Counter (Primary Position)
Why it works:
Customers wait here for 30-90 seconds after a satisfying meal. They're already holding their phone (checking time, messages). Natural moment to tap.
Placement tip:
Place card at eye level, 6-8 inches from where customers stand. Add small sign: "Loved your meal? Tap to review"
Host/Reception Desk (Secondary)
Why it works:
Captures customers leaving with a positive impression. Good backup if billing counter is crowded.
Placement tip:
Hand the card to customers as they leave: "We'd love your feedback - just tap your phone here."
Exit Door (Tertiary)
Why it works:
Last touchpoint. Some customers remember to review as they leave.
Placement tip:
Mount on wall next to exit at chest height with clear signage.
Table Placement (QR Standee Better)
Why it works:
For fine dining where customers have time between courses.
Placement tip:
Use QR standee instead of NFC card at tables. Place near salt/pepper holder.

FAQs for Restaurant Owners
Yes! NFC cards work through touch, not sound. They work perfectly even during peak hours with 50+ customers in your restaurant. The tap action is completely independent of noise levels or crowd density.
Every TapScan card includes a printed QR code backup on the same card. This means it works on 100% of smartphones - iPhone, Android, even basic phones with a camera. Customers without NFC can simply scan the QR code.
Yes! We can program the card to open Zomato, Swiggy, or any review platform you prefer. You can also use multiple cards - one for Google reviews, another for Zomato, and another for Swiggy - and place them at different locations.
Results depend on customer volume, service quality, staff consistency, and where the card is placed in your restaurant.
Yes, Google allows this! You're simply making it easier for customers to find your review page. Google encourages businesses to make reviewing convenient. What Google prohibits is: offering incentives for reviews (discounts, freebies), fake reviews, or review gating (only asking happy customers). As long as you ask all customers equally and don't incentivize, you're 100% compliant.
Absolutely! We add your restaurant logo, business name, and can match your brand colors. You'll receive a design preview before we print. Most restaurants include their logo, restaurant name, and a call-to-action like "Tap to Review" or "Loved your meal? Leave us a review!"
