The story

Maple & Oat had loyal regulars but barely any new reviews — most happy customers simply forgot once they left.

After placing a REVIEWU stand next to the espresso machine, baristas started inviting customers to ‘tap to say thanks’ while waiting for their drink.

Within four months, monthly review volume jumped 6× and the shop began appearing in Google's local 3-pack for ‘best coffee Brooklyn’.

FAQ

Common questions for cafés

Where should a café place the review stand?+

Right next to the espresso machine or at the pickup counter — the moment of handoff is when customers feel most positive.

Will my baristas have to do extra work?+

No. Most cafés simply add ‘tap the stand if you loved your drink’ to the existing thank-you. It takes 2 seconds.

How fast will I see more reviews?+

Most cafés see a 3–6× lift in monthly reviews within the first 60 days, with a measurable ranking boost by month 3.

Do I need wifi or a power source?+

No. The stand works fully offline — customers' phones do all the work via NFC or QR.
