A Table Card With a QR Code: The Simplest Way to Get More Google Reviews
Customers who loved their visit rarely think of writing a review on the way out. A card on the table that opens the review box in one scan asks for you — at the moment they are still sitting there, happy.
Happy customers don’t review — unless something asks
A bad visit motivates a review on its own. A good one usually does not: the customer leaves smiling and forgets. That is why so many good places sit on a few dozen reviews while the rating barely says how good they are. The fix is not a better service — it is asking, at the right moment, with nothing in the way. Each step between “I should leave a review” and the text box loses people: finding the app, searching your name, picking the right branch, finding the button.
One scan, straight to the review box
Every Google listing has a write-a-review link built from its place ID. Put that link in a QR code and the scan opens your listing with the stars and the text box already on screen — no search, no wrong branch. A card on the table carries that code next to a short line: “Enjoyed it? Review us on Google.” A second code on the same card can open your website, for the guest who wants your hours, your number or directions for next time.
Where to put it
Put it wherever people wait with a phone in hand. In a café or restaurant, that is the table, and the counter by the till. In a salon, barber or clinic, it is the waiting area and the mirror station. In a shop, it is the counter and the door. A card on the receipt tray works too: it reaches people at the moment they settle, which is when they decide how the visit went.
The two rules Google sets
Asking for reviews is allowed and expected. Two things are not. No incentives: a discount, a free coffee or a raffle entry in exchange for a review breaks Google’s rules, and reviews gathered that way can be removed. No filtering: asking only the customers you expect to be happy is also against the rules. A card on every table asks everyone the same way, with nothing offered — which is exactly what keeps it within them.
More reviews, a better site
Reviews do more than lift your rating. They are what customers read before choosing you, and they are what a blasa.shop site is written from: the headline, the reasons to come and the questions it answers all come from what your customers actually said. Every blasa site comes with a printable sheet of table cards — four per A4 page, each with a QR code for your site and one for your Google review box. Open your dashboard, choose Print table cards in the Share panel, print, cut along the lines and put them out. Copy your Maps link to build the site first if you don’t have one yet.
Questions people actually ask
Can a QR code open the Google review box directly?
Yes. Google has a write-a-review link for every listing, built from its place ID. Scanning a QR code of that link opens your listing with the star rating and text box already showing, so the customer skips searching for you.
Am I allowed to ask customers for reviews?
Yes — asking is fine. Two things are not: offering anything in exchange (a discount, a free drink) and asking only the customers you expect to be happy. Put the card in front of everyone and offer nothing for it.
Where does a table card work best?
Where people wait with their phone in hand: on tables, at the counter by the till, on the waiting-room table of a salon or clinic, next to the door. The scan happens while they still remember the visit.
How do I get a card for my business on blasa?
Open your dashboard and choose “Print table cards” in the Share panel. It opens an A4 sheet with four cards, each with your site’s QR code and your Google review QR code, ready to print and cut.
