Where Should You Put a Google Review QR Code?
The best places for a Google review QR code — where customers pause and the experience is fresh — by business type, plus placements that don't work.

Key takeaways
- The best spots are where customers pause, right after a good experience.
- Billing counters, tables, receptions and handovers work across most businesses.
- Avoid exits, high walls and places nobody waits.
- Pair the code with a person asking — placement alone does less.
A review QR code only works if people see it at the right moment: when they've just had the experience and have a few seconds to spare.
Places that work in most businesses
- The billing or checkout counter, at eye level.
- Tables, on a small stand, where people wait for the bill.
- Reception or waiting areas after an appointment.
- On a card handed over with the bill, order or receipt.
- Inside packaging or delivery bags.
By business type
- Restaurants and cafes: table stands, the billing counter, takeaway bags.
- Salons and spas: the mirror station or the payment desk.
- Clinics: reception, after the consultation (never inside consulting rooms).
- Hotels: the front desk at checkout, or a card in the room.
- Shops: the checkout and inside shopping bags.
- Service businesses: on the invoice or a card left after the job.
Places that don't work
- Walls above head height, or behind the counter out of reach.
- The entrance, before the customer has had the experience.
- Anywhere with glare, poor light or constant crowding.
Placement plus a person
A code is most effective when a staff member points to it: “If you have a moment, we'd love your honest review.” Ask everyone — not only happy customers — and never offer anything in return.
Frequently asked questions
- Should I put the review QR code on my front door?
- It's better on the way out than on the way in, but best of all where people pause after being served — the counter, the table or at the handover.
uTapiT cards, table stands and plates are designed for exactly these spots — with QR and NFC together.
