About DigiPlate Australia: NFC Review Cards and Plates
Updated: 9 hours ago
DigiPlate creates NFC and QR customer-engagement products for Australian cafés, restaurants, hotels, retailers, salons and service businesses. The products shorten the path from an in-person interaction to a selected online destination, such as a Google review page, Tripadvisor profile or social account.
The purpose is simple: make the destination easier to open while leaving the customer in control. A tap or scan does not write a review, choose a star rating, follow an account or submit anything automatically.
What DigiPlate products do
Each card or plate is programmed to open the business destination selected during setup. A compatible phone can read the NFC chip when it is held near the marked area. The printed QR code provides another route for customers who prefer to scan.
The phone opens the destination page in the customer’s browser or relevant app. From there, the customer decides whether to continue and completes any action on their own device.
Google review cards and plates
Google review products are designed for businesses that want a clear, optional prompt at the end of the customer journey. Flat plates suit fixed positions such as a checkout, reception desk or café counter. Portable cards can move between tables, service areas or staff handover points.
Compare the Google Review NFC Plate, the movable Google Review Card and plate-and-card combinations in the online store.
How to Ask for Google Reviews in Australia explains timing, neutral staff wording and review-gating safeguards.
Tripadvisor products for hospitality and tourism
Tripadvisor may be useful for restaurants, accommodation providers and tourism businesses that already maintain an active profile there. The correct destination should be tested before the product is placed in service, especially when a business has several locations with similar names.
Hospitality businesses can compare the Tripadvisor Review NFC Plate and relevant combination products.
Social engagement products
DigiPlate also offers NFC and QR products that open Instagram and Facebook destinations. These can help customers find the correct account without manually searching or typing a handle. They do not create a follow, like or share automatically; the customer remains responsible for any action. The NFC social media cards guide for Australian businesses explains destination choice, placement, testing and neutral staff wording.
Use social prompts where they support a real customer journey, such as a retail counter, event display or hospitality venue. Keep the requested action clear and avoid placing several competing prompts in one small area.
Choose between a card, plate or combination
Choose the format based on how the venue operates. A flat adhesive-backed plate works best where the position is permanent. A double-sided card suits a table holder, mobile service team or temporary event. A combination can cover a fixed counter and a second customer touchpoint.
Before ordering, confirm the platform, exact business location, destination link, preferred branding and where the item will be used. The product should remain visible, reachable and separate from payment instructions.
Where NFC prompts work best
Useful placements include café payment and pickup counters, restaurant payment points, hotel reception desks, retail checkouts, salon reception areas and completed-order collection zones. Introduce the prompt after the experience is substantially complete.
Restaurants and cafés can use the Australian hospitality placement guide to compare counters, tables, payment areas and reception points.
Invite honest feedback fairly
A review prompt should be neutral and optional. Staff can say: ‘If you would like to share your experience, you can tap or scan here.’ Do not ask only visibly happy customers, offer benefits for favourable ratings or direct customers with concerns away from the same public review option.
Private support and public reviews serve different purposes. Every customer should be able to request help, and genuine customers should retain the same choice about whether to share a public review.

What DigiPlate does not promise
An NFC or QR product cannot guarantee reviews, followers, sales or search rankings. Results depend on the customer experience, the business’s ongoing service, the accuracy of the destination link and whether customers choose to respond.
Treat the product as one touchpoint inside a broader process that includes accurate business details, useful support, consistent service and regular link testing.
Setup and maintenance checklist
• Confirm the exact business profile or social account.
• Test NFC and QR access on more than one phone.
• Place the item where customers can reach it comfortably.
• Give staff one neutral sentence to explain it.
• Clean the surface without damaging the printed QR code.
• Recheck the destination after any profile, location or account change.
