Your restaurant deserves more than 4 stars
Your customers love your food. Your service is impeccable. But your Google listing doesn't reflect that reality. Ludofy transforms every satisfied customer into a Google review.
The problem you know all too well
The satisfied couple
Table 12. They loved everything. The dish, the wine, the ambiance. They thank you warmly as they leave. You know they're delighted.
The awkward ask
You want to ask them for a review. But the rush is coming. You have 15 covers waiting. And besides... asking for a review feels a bit desperate, doesn't it?
The competitor
The restaurant across the street opened 6 months ago. Decent food, nothing exceptional. But they already have 180 reviews with 4.6 stars.
The solution: Your servers no longer have to ask for reviews
How does it work in your restaurant?
The perfect moment
End of the meal. Your customers are satisfied. Your server drops the bill with a QR code tent: "If you had a great time, scan this QR code for a chance to win a free dessert on your next visit!"
Instant fun
The customer scans. They land on a prize wheel in your restaurant's colors. They spin. They win a free coffee.
Automatic Google review
To claim their prize, just one action: leave a Google review. The link opens automatically. In 30 seconds, it's done.
Guaranteed return visit
The customer comes back to claim their prize. You recognize them. You thank them. They become a regular.
Why does it work?
Non-intrusive: No need to ask. The tent card does the work.
Fun: Winning feels good. Leaving a review becomes enjoyable.
Immediate: The customer is still at the table, the experience is fresh.
Profitable: A returning customer is worth far more than 70 €/month.
Where to place your QR codes
4 strategic locations to maximize participation
On tables
Custom QR tent cards
Place an elegant tent card on each table. The customer sees it throughout the meal and can scan at the ideal moment.
Pro tip : Mention it naturally when dropping the bill: "If you had a great time, feel free to try your luck!"
With the bill
The perfect moment
Slip a small tent card with the bill. This is when the customer is most satisfied and available.
Pro tip : The server can say: "Here's your bill, and if you'd like to try to win a dessert for your next visit..."
At the counter
For coffees and snacks
Customers grabbing a coffee or dessert at the counter are perfect targets. Wait time = game time.
Pro tip : Ideal for busy lunch customers who come back regularly.
On the terrace
Relaxed atmosphere
Terrace customers stay longer and are more relaxed. Perfect for maximizing participation.
Pro tip : The QR code might even appear in your customers' Instagram photos!

End of meal
The customer just finished their main course, they're satisfied and relaxed. This is the ideal moment before dessert or coffee.
With the bill
The customer is waiting for their card, they have 2-3 minutes. Perfect for scanning the QR code.
Before leaving
Last chance! Mention the game when you walk them out. They can play on their way home.

Why it works for restaurants
4 reasons explaining the 35% participation rate
Non-intrusive
No need to ask for a review. The tent card does the work for you. Your servers stay focused on service.
Fun
Spinning a wheel is entertaining. Leaving a review becomes a game rather than a chore.
Immediate
The customer is still at the table, the experience is fresh. The review will be detailed and authentic.
Profitable
A customer who returns to claim their prize is worth far more than the cost of the prize. It's automatic loyalty building.
Le Petit Comptoir, Lyon
Marie Dubois's challenge
Marie runs a bistronomic restaurant in Lyon's 2nd arrondissement. Despite acclaimed cuisine and loyal customers, her Google presence didn't reflect reality.
Starting situation (January 2024):
- •Only 47 Google reviews
- •Average rating: 4.1/5
- •Google ranking: Page 2
- •Competitors with lower quality but better ratings
"I knew my customers were happy. But on Google, I looked like an average restaurant. Competitors with lower quality were outranking me just because they had more reviews."
Ludofy implementation
Marie deploys Ludofy with a simple and effective approach:
- •QR tent cards on every restaurant table
- •5-minute staff training
- •Natural mention when dropping the bill
Lot principal : Free house dessert (value: 8 €)
Lots secondaires : Free coffee, -10% on next visit
