How does the Tap Board work?
Put the board on your counter. A customer taps it with their phone and your Google review page opens, with one button to leave a review. There’s no app to download, no QR code to scan and no searching for your listing.
Why are more reviews good for my business?
Most new customers find you the same way: they open Google Maps, type “coffee near me” and pick one of the first few places that come up. Reviews are a big part of how Google decides which places those are. Google says so itself: more reviews and positive ratings can help your local ranking.
Say there are two coffee shops on the same block in Highland Park. One has 40 reviews. The other has 400 and picks up a few new ones every week. To Google, the second one looks like the busy, well-loved spot, so it’s more likely to show up first. And to someone choosing between them on their phone, 400 reviews reads as the safe bet. That shop gets the walk-in, even if the coffee next door is just as good.
Reviews help in a quieter way too. Customers describe what they loved in their own words, so a few mentions of your cortado or your back patio can help you show up when someone searches for exactly that.
Your regulars already love you. The Tap Board just makes it easy for them to say so, right where new customers are looking.
Do my customers need an app?
No. Most modern iPhones and Android phones read the board with NFC, the same way they tap to pay. The review page opens in the phone’s browser.
How long does setup take?
About 30 seconds. Your board arrives set up for your shop: tap it with your phone, enter your email and start your free trial.
What does it cost?
The board is free. The service is $29 a month, or $290 a year, after a free 30-day trial. You can cancel anytime from your dashboard.
How does the more-reviews guarantee work?
Try it free for 30 days. If you’re not happy with the results, tell us and we’ll extend your free trial or refund your first payment, your choice. You don’t need to give a reason. The details are in the ButterKit Retail Terms.
What if the board stops working?
We replace it free, for as long as you subscribe. If it’s lost, stolen or damaged by accident, the first replacement each year is free too. The details are in the ButterKit Retail Terms.
Does it follow Google's review rules?
Yes. It’s built around Google’s review guidelines: every customer sees the same page, nobody gets filtered out, and nothing is offered in exchange for a review. Your reviews stay genuine and your listing stays in good standing.
Can taps go somewhere other than Google?
Yes. From your dashboard you can send taps to your Google review page, your Google Maps listing, your Instagram profile, or your menu or website, and change it anytime without reprinting anything.
Where is the Tap Board available?
