For full-service restaurants

NFC tags for restaurants that turn table visits into fresh Google reviews.

Place Tap tags where guests already pause: the table, the host stand, the check presenter. One tap opens your page, and leaving a Google review takes about a minute, while the visit is still fresh.

The visibility gap

You can run a flawless service and still look quiet online.

Diners read the rating, the recent reviews, and whether the owner answers before they ever see the room. A quiet profile costs covers even when the food is right.

Tap shortens the distance between the check and the review. More real guests, writing while the meal is fresh, with the same invite for everyone.

How it works

How Tap works in a restaurant

The tag on the table never changes. The page behind it changes as often as your menu does.

01

Place and label the tags

Tables, host stand, patio, to-go counter. Give each tag a label so the dashboard tells you which spot earns the taps.

02

A guest taps

Their phone's built-in NFC opens your page. No app, no QR hunt.

03

They pick what they need

The review invite, the menu, the wine list, reservations, Wi-Fi, or whatever else you've linked.

04

You stay in control

Change links and publish page updates from the dashboard. The tags on the tables keep working.

Placement examples

Put the tap where the guest already pauses.

The best spots are visible, reachable, and easy for staff to explain in one sentence.

Dining tables

The menu, reservations, and the review invite stay within reach for the whole visit.

The check presenter

A tag near the check catches guests at the natural pause, without crowding service items.

Host stand and waiting area

Waiting guests can read the menu, book the next visit, or browse events instead of watching the door.

Patio and takeaway pickup

The same page works outside and at pickup. Use the on-metal tag when the surface is metal.

One venue page

What a restaurant guest can open

Google reviews

A clear path to your Google review page, with the same invite for every guest.

Menus and specials

The current menu, the wine list, tonight's special. Update any of them without a reprint.

Reservations and events

Send guests to whatever booking and events pages you already use.

The rest of the venue

Wi-Fi, socials, contact details, and your guest list, together instead of competing on separate table signs.

Tag colors

Three finishes for the room.

Every Tap tag ships programmed the same way. Choose the color that fits the table — including new House Linen and After Hours.

Phone compatibility

Works on the phones guests already carry.

Recent iPhones read a tag while the screen is awake: hold the top edge near it. Android phones with NFC read from the back while unlocked; NFC may need switching on in Settings.

Guests don't need a Tap account or a Tap app. The tag opens your page from the phone's built-in NFC reader, and a quick test tap at the bar settles it for your room. Antenna spots vary a little by model.

Our guarantee

A measurable review goal, in writing.

Our guarantee: double your Google review pace within 60 days, or your Tap subscription is credited until you do. Tap measures new Google reviews per 30 days against the restaurant's trailing-90-day baseline.

If the restaurant misses the promised pace by day 60, the Tap subscription is credited each month until it reaches that pace. The one-time hardware fee is not part of the credit.

Pricing summary

Hardware and software, together.

Tap includes programmed NFC tags, a venue-branded guest page, and the operator dashboard. Monthly plans add a one-time $149 hardware fee; annual plans waive it. Standard shipping is free, and subscriptions can be canceled anytime.

FAQ

Restaurant NFC tag questions

How do NFC tags work in a restaurant?

Each Tap tag carries a programmed venue URL. A guest wakes and unlocks an NFC-enabled phone, holds it near the tag, and opens the restaurant's Tap page for reviews, menus, reservations, and other links.

Where should restaurant NFC tags be placed?

Start at moments when a guest is already paused with a phone nearby: dining tables, check presenters, the host stand, a waiting area, patio tables, or takeaway pickup. Label each placement in the dashboard and test it before service.

Do diners need to download an app?

No Tap app or Tap account is required. Recent iPhones can read a tag while the screen is awake; NFC-enabled Android phones generally read while unlocked, although NFC settings and antenna position vary by device.

Can we change what a tag opens after it arrives?

Yes. The tag opens your Tap page, and you edit the links on that page from the dashboard. The physical tag never needs replacing or reprogramming.

How many tags are included with each plan?

Tap includes 20 Tap Tags. Additional tags start at $8 each and cost less at volume. Custom tags are available exclusively with annual plans. Orders of 100 or more tags, multiple designs, or specialty production requirements are individually quoted. Tap also includes our review guarantee.

What is included in Tap pricing?

Tap is $99/month and includes programmed NFC tags, a venue-branded guest page, and the operator dashboard. Monthly billing adds a one-time $149 hardware fee; annual billing waives it. Standard shipping is free.
