Turn every drink into a 5-star review
Your customers are having a great time. They have their phones in hand. Why not turn that good mood into 5-star Google reviews?
Why bars are perfect for Ludofy
Your customers are already in a good mood
Drink in hand, friendly atmosphere, music playing... Your customers are in the perfect mindset to leave a positive review. Seize the moment.
The phone is always on the table
Unlike other venues, in a bar, phones are everywhere. Scrolling Instagram between drinks? Taking photos? Perfect for scanning your QR code.
Party spirit = desire to play
"Look, I won a free shot!" In a bar, the spinning wheel becomes a conversation topic. It creates buzz, interaction, natural engagement.
Viral effect in groups
One customer scans, wins, shows their friends... who scan in turn. In 5 minutes, the whole table has participated. It's the perfect snowball effect to explode your review count.
The solution: Turn happy hour into a review machine
How does it work in your bar?
Customer scans the QR code
On the coaster, the bar counter chalkboard, or on the terrace. A quick scan between sips.
They leave their Google review
Direct redirect to your Google listing. In 20 seconds, the review is posted.
They spin the wheel and win
Free shot, discount on the next round, free cocktail... They win. You win.
They come back for their prize
The customer returns to claim their prize. Automatic loyalty. Additional orders guaranteed.
Why does it work?
Viral: One customer wins, the whole group wants to play
Instant: The phone is already in hand
Fun: The wheel creates buzz and interaction
Profitable: Returning customers spend way more than the prize cost
Where to place your QR codes
4 strategic locations to maximize participation
On coasters
The ultimate strategic position
Every drink served = an opportunity for a review. The QR code is within reach, impossible to miss.
Pro tip : Use a custom design with your logo. The coaster becomes a marketing tool that stays in front of the customer all evening.
On the bar counter chalkboard
Capture attention during the wait
When your customers wait for their order at the bar, they have 30 seconds of downtime. That's the perfect moment.
Pro tip : Effective message: "Spin the wheel while waiting for your cocktail"
On the terrace
QR code on tent card or visible chalkboard
Terraces are relaxation spots where customers linger. Perfect for maximizing participation.
Pro tip : Sun, drinks on the terrace, summer vibes... Your customers' Instagram photos will naturally show your QR code. Free organic marketing.
Happy hour = golden moment
THE slot to activate Ludofy
Your customers come looking for deals, they're receptive to games and promotions. Happy hour + wheel = winning combo.
Pro tip : "Win your next drink by spinning the wheel!" Announce it verbally at the start of each happy hour.
The 3 key moments to activate the wheel
Identify when your customers are most receptive
During happy hour
Your customers are already in deal-hunting mode. It's the ideal time to propose the game. Guaranteed viral effect in groups.
At payment time
The customer pulls out their card, they have 30 seconds to wait. Perfect for scanning the QR code and playing quickly.
Between drinks
Your customers are already scrolling on their phones. Offer them a fun break: scan, play, win.

Why it works for bars
4 reasons that explain Ludofy's success in the bar industry
Perfect timing
Your customers are relaxed, in a good mood, with their phone in hand. All conditions are met for participation.
Viral effect
In a bar, people come in groups. One customer plays, wins, shows their friends. In 5 minutes, the whole table has participated. It's the snowball effect that only bars can create.
Instant
Scanning a QR code + spinning the wheel = 10 seconds. It's faster than pulling out a loyalty card. Zero friction.
Immediate ROI
A customer who returns for their free shot orders an average of 3 more drinks. The prize becomes an investment, not a cost.
Le Verre à Pied, Bordeaux
Sophie Martin's challenge
Sophie runs a wine bar in Bordeaux's Chartrons district. Despite loyal customers and excellent atmosphere, her digital presence was weak.
Starting situation:
- •23 Google reviews
- •Average rating: 4.2/5
- •Almost no local visibility
- •Dependent on word-of-mouth only
"My customers love my bar, but nobody takes the time to leave a review. On Google, we simply don't exist."
Ludofy implementation
Sophie installs Ludofy at the end of September with a simple strategy:
- •QR codes on all coasters
- •Illuminated chalkboard at the counter
- •Verbal activation during happy hour (6pm-8pm)
Lot principal : Free shot (cost: 1.50 €)
Lots secondaires : -20% on next round, -50% on charcuterie board
Results: viral effect during happy hour
After 8 weeks:
341 Google reviews (+318 reviews)
Average rating: 4.8/5 (+0.6 points)
Return rate: 41% (4 out of 10 customers return thanks to prizes won)
"During happy hour, it went viral. A group of friends scans, someone wins a shot, everyone wants to play. I had nights where 30 people participated in 2 hours."
Real business impact
+65% bookings via Google Business
+23% happy hour revenue (thanks to 41% return rate)
Local recognition: Appeared in top 3 wine bars in Bordeaux on Google
"For 70 €/month, I transformed my digital presence. A customer who returns thanks to a prize won spends an average of 35 €. The ROI is immediate."
