Smart NFC tags for bars & restaurants

Turn busy nights into Google reviews.

A guest taps the tag on the table and your page opens: menu, Wi-Fi, specials, and a Google review invite that takes about a minute. Every guest gets the same ask, and you watch the pace climb from your dashboard.

Why Tap

More reviews. One page. No reprints.

Three things you actually get: a steadier pace of Google reviews, one page that answers guest questions, and tags you never reprint. Every number below is published research.

01 · Google reviews

A steady pace of fresh Google reviews.

73%of consumers only trust reviews written in the last month.

A guest taps, rates the visit, and posts to Google before the check comes back. Every guest gets the same invite. A one-star rise in rating is linked to a 5–9% revenue lift (Luca, HBS).

Private feedback built in · no one's public review is ever blocked

02 · One guest page

One page for everything guests ask.

88%of diners would rather hold a paper menu than scan a QR code.

Menu, Wi-Fi, specials, and live hours that answer "are you still open?" before anyone has to ask. The phone doesn't replace your menu. It handles everything else.

03 · Never reprint

Point it somewhere new tonight.

0.reprints when you change the link. A printed QR code is frozen the day it's laminated.

Tonight's special, the event page, the review invite. Change the link once in the dashboard and every tag on the floor follows. Nothing goes back to the printer.

Fair's fair: the sticker is free. What isn't free is the camera fumbling, the reprint runs, and never knowing whether your Google reviews are growing.

The software

Your guest page, and the dashboard behind it.

Tap is two screens. Your guest page is the venue-branded page a tap opens: menu, links, and live hours in one place. The dashboard is where you edit that page, run the review funnel, and see what got tapped last night.

Everything guests ask the staff, one tap away.

  • Menu, Wi-Fi, specials, and every link you want guests to have, on one page the moment the tag is tapped.
  • Live hours built in, so "Open · Closes 11 PM" answers the question before it's asked.
  • Leave a Google review from the seat: rate, tap keyword chips, paste the draft. Private feedback is built in and additive. No review gating, and every rating can go public.
  • One share button, so tonight's guest can send your page to the friend who picks the next spot.

The dashboard

Publish in one click. Watch the numbers move.

  • Design Studio: twelve templates, a live phone preview, and one-click publish. Change the page and every tag follows. Nothing goes back to the printer.
  • Analytics: last night's taps table by table, which links guests actually used, and how this week compares to last. Peak hours and CSV export included.
  • Reviews: point the funnel at Google, and watch invites become ratings and posted reviews. See which server's table earned each one, and read private notes in one inbox.
  • Plus the unglamorous essentials: tags, orders, and your team, all in one place.

The hardware

A tag on the table, your brand on the screen.

Set Tap tags on tables, the bar, or the host stand. When a guest holds their phone to one, your venue-branded page opens: on iPhone through an App Clip card with your name and photo, on Android in the browser. What's on the page is up to you — menu, Google reviews, reservations, whatever you link from the dashboard. No app to download, no QR code.

Frequently asked

The questions we get most.

Isn't this just a fancy QR code?
A QR code opens a link, and that's where it stops. Tap is the review funnel, one page for your menu and everything else, and analytics you run from a dashboard — on a tag you can repoint anytime without reprinting. The tap is the easy part; what happens after it is the product.
Why pay monthly when a $30 tap-to-review stand has no fees?
A $30 stand sells you a review link — but the link was never the problem. With Tap, if your Google review pace hasn't doubled in 60 days, your subscription is credited until it does. It comes down to timing: most guests only trust reviews from the last month, so you need a fresh stream every week. Tap keeps that stream going: a guided funnel at every seat, per-table and per-server numbers, and one page for your whole guest experience. A stand can't do any of that, and it guarantees nothing.
Can I really get more Google reviews without breaking the rules?
Yes — because Tap never hides your bad reviews. Every guest, happy or not, can always leave a public Google review; a guest who had a rough night can also send you a private note, but never instead of the public one. That's the line the FTC drew in 2024, and a lot of “review filter” gadgets cross it.
Will it actually work on my customers' phones?
Recent iPhones can read a tag while the screen is awake by holding the top edge near it. NFC-enabled Android phones generally read from the back while unlocked, although NFC may need to be enabled. Antenna placement and NFC availability vary by device, model, and region. Guests don't need a Tap account or Tap app — iPhone opens your page in Tap's App Clip, and Android opens it in the browser.
My regulars are older. Will they know to tap?
Tapping is the motion they already make every time they pay with a card or their phone: no camera, no aiming, no zooming. That's exactly the friction older guests hit with QR menus — a William Blair poll found 65% of people over 60 are uncomfortable using them, and tapping sidesteps all of it.
Do I need my staff to do anything?
One sentence at check-drop is the whole job: “tap the coaster on your way out if you'd like to leave us a review.” The invites and your guest page are set once and largely run themselves; check in when you want. It's built for an owner who's already stretched across the floor, the books, and the schedule.
Can I change what the tap does later?
Yes — that's the whole point. Open the dashboard, change the destination, done. Point it at your menu today, your holiday lineup tomorrow.
What if it doesn't work for us? Am I locked in?
No contract: cancel anytime, and your analytics export to a spreadsheet on the way out. Tap also comes with a guarantee — double your Google review pace within 60 days, or your Tap subscription is credited until you do. The downside is close to zero, and that's deliberate.
What does it actually cost?
One simple Tap subscription at $99/mo, and it includes your tags, your guest page, and the dashboard. Monthly plans add a one-time $149 hardware fee; annual plans waive it. Standard shipping is always free.
How fast do they ship?
Tags ship ready to place with fast shipping. Set up your guest page online while they're on the way.
