Review cards, table stands and lanyards for cafés, restaurants, pubs, takeaways and food trucks. One tap sends your customer straight to your Google or Tripadvisor review page — without slowing service down or asking your staff to remember anything.
Hospitality has the most reviews to win — and the least time to ask
A busy café serves more customers in a week than a plumber sees in three months. The review opportunity is enormous. The problem is that every one of those interactions lasts about ninety seconds, and nobody on your team has a spare moment to ask for anything.
Which is why most hospitality businesses end up with a review profile that badly under-represents them. Hundreds of happy customers a week, four new reviews a month, and a rating that has not moved since spring.
Meanwhile the restaurant two doors down with the same food and a more active review profile is the one showing up in the map pack when someone searches “lunch near me” at 12:40.
The card does the asking, so your staff don’t have to
This is the part that matters in a fast-paced venue: a review card is passive. It sits on the table or by the till and works whether or not your team mentions it. No training, no script, nothing extra to remember on a Saturday night.
Customers pick it up while they are waiting for the card machine, or during that lull after the plates are cleared. Fifteen seconds later you have a review, and nobody’s service was interrupted.
Where to put them
- Table stand or table sticker — the highest-volume placement. Works during the natural dead time at the end of a meal.
- Beside the card machine — customers already have their phone in hand.
- On the bill folder or receipt tray — arrives at the exact moment they are deciding how they felt about the experience.
- Staff lanyards — for table service, bar staff and anyone doing the goodbye.
- Takeaway bag or counter — catches collection orders, which almost never generate reviews otherwise.
- Serving hatch — for food trucks and mobile bars with no fixed premises at all.
Food trucks, mobile bars and event caterers
Mobile catering is the hardest hospitality format for reviews and the one where they matter most. You have no premises, no permanent signage, and no way for a customer to find you again unless they remember your name. A great trading day at a festival can produce hundreds of happy customers and zero reviews.
A lanyard or hatch-mounted card fixes this completely, because it travels with you. Same card, every pitch, every event. We wrote about this in more detail in why mobile caterers get fewer reviews than they deserve.
“Won’t this annoy customers mid-meal?”
Fair concern, and worth being precise about. What annoys people is a server verbally asking for a five-star review while they are still eating. That genuinely does sour an experience, and we would not recommend it.
A card on the table is the opposite. It is an offer, not a request. Customers who want to leave a review can, in seconds. Customers who don’t simply ignore it, exactly as they ignore the drinks menu. Nobody has to say no to anything.
Google or Tripadvisor?
For most UK hospitality, Google is the higher-value target — it feeds the map pack, which is where “near me” searches land. Tripadvisor still matters for destination restaurants and anywhere serving tourists. If you want both, a dual setup gives the customer a simple choice screen. We can talk it through before you order.

Hospitality FAQs
How many do I need for a restaurant?
Most venues start with one per table plus one at the till. A twelve-table restaurant typically orders a pack of thirteen. Cafés often start smaller — two or three on the counter and by the card machine — and add table stands once they see the volume.
Will they survive a busy service?
The cards are PVC and waterproof, so spills and wipe-downs are fine. If one goes missing or stops working, contact us and we will replace it free.
Can I put one card on every table pointing at the same listing?
Yes. Every card can point to the same review link, so it does not matter which one a customer picks up. Multi-site groups can have a different link per venue.
