  • Display tabletop NFC stands and QR coasters to invite every visiting guest to rate their experience.
  • Resolve negative customer grievances before they escalate to public dispute boards.
What is Strictly Prohibited
  • Paying customers or offering cash/gifts in exchange for 5-star Google ratings.
  • Fabricating fake customer reviews or running automated review bots.
  • Harvesting customer private emails to send unsolicited mass spam marketing.
  • Posting fake negative reviews about competitor establishments.
