Products
Our flagship review stand: a premium acrylic piece (105×70×50mm) built to live on busy counters and reception desks. It looks deliberate next to your register and turns every checkout into a five-star moment.
A standard credit-card-sized NFC card that slips into any wallet. Built for professionals on the move — business owners, stylists, real-estate agents and taxi drivers — who want to capture reviews anywhere, not just behind a counter.
A dynamic system for waiters and service crews in restaurants and bars. A retractable badge reel (yoyo) clips to a belt, apron or pocket and holds an NFC card — so staff can extend the card straight to the customer's table without ever carrying a heavy stand.
