Tapget AI

Introduction: One-Tap Marketing That Grows Tips and Participation

For multi-location restaurant groups, cafes, and local service brands, driving higher staff tipping and boosting participation rates is an everyday challenge. Traditional QR codes or tip jars are slow, require customer effort, and rarely deliver consistent results in staff tipping or review volume. Tapget solves this by letting every customer increase engagement in one tap—combining NFC simplicity with AI-powered automations that drive tips, reviews, social follows, and re-orders from every transaction. The result: a measurable lift in staff tipping and participation rate across all locations, no friction or extra apps required.

Proof: Real Results Across Locations

Case Study Highlights: Staff Tips Up 38% in 30 Days

At a regional coffee chain piloting Tapget, staff tipping per shift increased by 38% in the first 30 days after rollout. Baristas simply presented the branded Tapget card with their receipt at the counter. Customers tapped once with their phones and received instant prompts to tip staff seamlessly—no apps, no awkward asks.

Alt text suggestion: “Staff using Tapget NFC card at checkout—staff tipping participation rate up 38%.”

More Reviews, More Social Followers

Locations installing Tapget cards saw review volume rise by 25% within the first month. The automated AI follow-up prompts—delivered right after the NFC tap—make it almost effortless for happy customers to post a review on Google or Yelp.

Tapget also drives social growth: average follower counts increased by 18% month-over-month at multi-unit restaurants using tailored “Follow Us” suggestions triggered by visit type or time of day.

Example: At a three-location taco chain, each store placed a Tapget device at the register and sent out a staff script: “Thanks for visiting! Want to support us? Just tap here—it helps us out!” Result: more tips per shift, more reviews per week.

How Tapget Works: NFC Activation Meets AI Automation

In-Person NFC Activations Deliver Instant Engagement

The experience starts with a branded Tapget card or device placed at checkout, tableside, or near service areas. When a customer taps their phone (Apple or Android) to the NFC tag, they’re instantly directed to a custom mobile landing page—no camera scan needed.

Placement tip: Attach Tapget cards to server aprons, host stands, or delivery bags for maximum exposure during customer interaction.

AI Handles the Rest—Automated Review Requests & Follows

After the tap, Tapget’s AI takes over:

• Customers see a personalized review prompt (“How was your meal? Give us feedback and help our team earn more tips!”).
• For returning guests or loyalty visitors, social follow requests are tailored based on time of visit (“Late night regular? Follow us on Instagram for secret menu drops.”).
• All requests are timed and worded based on customer behavior to maximize completion rates.

Script example: “Just tap this card before you go! You’ll get an easy way to tip me (thanks!) and leave feedback if you want.”

Orders and Repeat Visits Made Simple

The post-tap landing page can include quick re-order buttons—letting customers place their next order in seconds. For staff, this means higher participation rates not only from tips but also from repeat purchases tracked back to their shift.

Benchmark: Stores see tap-through-to-reorder rates of 12–15%, significantly above typical email offers.

ROI: Why Multi-Location Businesses Switch to Tapget

Switching to Tapget delivers immediate, measurable gains:

• Faster review growth: Up to 2x more reviews vs QR code cards (average tap-through rate is 52%, QR is usually under 20%).
• Increased participation rates among staff: With visible Tapget cards/devices and simple scripts (“Tap here to support your server!”), tips per shift climb steadily.
• Higher order frequency: The tap-to-buy feature makes reordering frictionless; one coffee chain logged a 14% monthly uptick in orders attributed directly to Tapget activations.

For local businesses managing multiple sites, these gains add up quickly—driving more revenue per transaction while keeping staff motivated through higher earned tips.

Overcoming Objections: Common Questions Answered

Is NFC Secure? Does It Require Special Phones?

NFC is standard on nearly all smartphones made since 2017. No personal data is stored; tapping simply opens a secure web page. There’s no app install required—just tap and go.

Will Staff Need Extra Training? How Does It Fit Into Existing Workflows?

Training takes less than 15 minutes per location. Staff use simple scripts (“Tap here to tip!”) and display the card during checkout or table service. No changes to POS workflows are required—Tapget works alongside your current process.

Practical tip: Place cards where staff naturally interact with guests (e.g., check presenters, bar counters). A one-sheet FAQ provided by Tapget covers every common question for fast onboarding.
