NFC & QR Review Cards for Hotels, Salons, Clinics and Service Businesses

Service businesses share a common structure: an appointment or stay, a point of direct staff contact, and a closing moment where the interaction ends. Where that closing moment happens, and how it should be handled, varies enough by industry to be worth covering separately.

Hotels

Checkout

The single clearest placement in a hotel: a guest settling their bill has just concluded their stay and is standing directly in front of front-desk staff, making a Google Review NFC Card handed over here a natural fit.

Reception

Beyond checkout specifically, a card or sticker kept at reception generally catches guests at both check-in and throughout their stay, not just departure.

Concierge

Guests who've interacted with concierge services (bookings, recommendations, arrangements) have often had a more personalised experience worth capturing, making the concierge desk a strong secondary placement.

Room / table placement

A card or small stand left in-room, or on a table in a hotel restaurant or lounge, extends the opportunity beyond the checkout desk to any point during the stay.

Salons

Reception

As with hotels, the front desk is a default catch-all placement, relevant at both arrival and departure.

Checkout

The payment moment, right after a service is completed, is typically the strongest single placement in a salon.

Hairdresser / stylist station

Because salon services are personal and often involve real rapport with a specific stylist, a card at the individual station (or, using the multi-card dashboard, a card per stylist) can outperform a single generic card at the front desk.

Clinics

Reception

A card or sticker at reception is the standard, low-pressure placement for a clinic, visible without requiring any staff member to actively push it.

Billing

As with other service businesses, the payment step is a natural secondary moment to include a review prompt.

Patient exit

A sticker near the exit door catches patients on their way out, a useful passive option for a clinic environment where staff may not want to actively solicit a review from every patient.

A note on clinics specifically: a review card is a mechanism for making it easier for a patient to leave feedback if they choose to, nothing more. It should never be presented, worded, or implied as a comment on medical outcomes or care quality, and clinics should be especially careful not to selectively offer the card only to patients who seem satisfied, which risks a skewed, non-genuine review profile as well as running against Google's own review policies.

Other service businesses

• Real estate: after a signed deal or handover, at the agent's desk or office reception.
• Gyms: at the front desk or check-in kiosk, reaching members on a routine, recurring visit basis.
• Consultants: at the close of a meeting or engagement, often paired with an NFC business card for contact sharing at the same time.
• Repair businesses: at collection or handover, similar in structure to the car workshop use case.
• Beauty services: at checkout, similar to salons.
