Wheel of fortune and Google reviews for bars and cafés

In a bar, customers have time and their phone in hand: the best place for a wheel of fortune. Here is how to set it up for a café or bar, with prizes that bring people back without eating your margin, and the precautions alcohol calls for.

Updated By the Voxtya team

What gets in the way for a bar or café

Seated customers, no reviews

A customer spends an hour on the terrace, phone on the table, and leaves without a review. You just need to give them the chance at the right moment.

Passing trade and regulars

Tourists find the bar on Google Maps; regulars never leave reviews. You need to reach both.

Prizes that do not empty the till

Free rounds are expensive. A coffee, a soft drink or money off a sharing board please people without hurting margin.

Alcohol has its rules

In France the Évin law restricts alcohol advertising, and many countries have similar rules. A game whose prize is an alcoholic drink is questionable: alcohol-free prizes are safer.

How it works with Voxtya

  1. A QR code on every table. The tent card or A6 format from the print pack, on tables and the bar: “Your review, then try your luck”.
  2. The review, then the wheel. The customer enters a first name and email, opens your Google review page, then the wheel unlocks. Their rating is never asked.
  3. Alcohol-free prizes. A coffee, a hot chocolate, a soft drink, 10% off a sharing board, and “Thanks, see you soon”. You set each prize’s odds.
  4. A prize to come back for. The code is valid 30 days by default: the customer comes back to claim it. You validate it from the winners list.

Try the example

Spin Café Lumière’s wheel (demo)

Café Lumière, a fictional café in Paris, has a demo wheel: this is what customers see after scanning the table QR code. In the demo, nothing is sent.

How much is the wheel of fortune for a bar?
It is included in Review collection: €29 a month (€23 billed annually). With Review replies, the bundle is €49 a month.
Can the prize be an alcoholic drink?
We advise against it: alcohol promotion is regulated. Prefer a coffee, a soft drink or money off food.
Does it follow Google’s rules?
Yes if the wheel is offered to every customer after their review, with no condition on the rating, and your materials promise nothing for “5 stars”.
Where should the QR code go?
On every table and the bar, where customers wait. The print pack ranges from A6 to a roll-up banner.
Can a customer play with every drink?
Not if you set a delay between two plays: the same email cannot play again before it ends.
How does the customer claim the prize?
They show the emailed code on their next visit; you mark it as used in the winners list.
