25 Things to Write on Your QR Feedback Sign (By Business Type)

Most QR feedback signs say one of three things: "Scan to leave a review," "Tell us how we did," or some version of "Your feedback matters to us." Customers read them, feel nothing, and keep walking.

So what do you write on your QR feedback sign instead? The copy on your sign is doing real work. It is the difference between a customer glancing at a QR code and moving on, and a customer actually pulling out their phone. A line that is specific to your business, honest, or just a little human gets more scans than anything generic. Not because it is clever, but because it feels like something a person wrote, not a template.

Below are 25 examples across five business types. Each one is short enough to fit on a physical sign, open enough that any customer can respond (not just happy ones), and direct enough that the ask is clear.

One thing none of them do: route customers by how you think they feel. "If you had a great experience, scan here" tells the customers who had a bad one to go elsewhere, which is review gating and against Google's review policy. (See our breakdown of the 2026 review gating rules for what that actually costs.) Every line below is an open ask. The customer decides what to say.

What to write on QR Feedback Sign (For restaurants)

The customer just finished a meal. They are sitting, or about to leave, and the experience is fresh. The sign copy needs to match that moment: present tense, brief, and specific enough to not feel like it was printed at a generic supply store.

1.

We cooked it. You ate it. Tell us how we did.

2.

The kitchen wants to know. Scan to let them know.

3.

How was it? We're actually asking.

4.

One scan. Thirty seconds. Means more than you think.

5.

Your table. Your take. We'd love to hear it.

For dental practices

There is a brief window after a cleaning or procedure where the patient is relieved, still in the chair or just leaving the treatment room, and open to doing something small. The sign copy should match that energy: light, a little self-aware, and low-pressure.

6.

The drill is gone. We'd love thirty more seconds.

7.

You survived. Scan to prove it.

8.

Thirty seconds. No novocaine required.

9.

The hard part is over. Scan while you wait for the feeling to come back.

10.

Rinse. Spit. Scan. You're done.

For spas and wellness centers

The post-treatment window is one of the warmest moments in any service business. The customer is relaxed, unhurried, and briefly free of whatever they came in carrying. The sign copy should acknowledge that without breaking the mood.

11.

Still relaxed? Don't break the spell. Scan and go.

12.

Leave a review before the inbox gets you back.

13.

You came. You unwound. Tell someone.

14.

The tension left. Leave something behind.

15.

You earned the quiet. We earned a review.

For salons and barbershops

The moment someone looks in the mirror and likes what they see is one of the highest-confidence moments in any service context. The sign copy can lean into that. It is one of the few business types where a little vanity in the copy actually fits.

16.

You look great. Tell Google.

17.

Mirror check: done. One more thing.

18.

Good hair day incoming. Scan on the way out.

19.

Your stylist spent an hour on that. Thirty seconds is fair.

20.

The cut speaks for itself. So can you.

For cafés

Caffeine dependency is practically a universal condition. Copy that acknowledges it with a straight face tends to land.

21.

Rate us before the caffeine wears off.

22.

You waited for it. We made it with care. Tell someone.

23.

One scan. Costs nothing. Means a lot.

24.

You come here often. Tell Google that.

25.

Good coffee deserves a word. Here's where to leave one.

What makes sign copy not work

Four things that reliably get ignored:

Too long. A sign is not a paragraph. If the copy takes more than three seconds to read, it will not be read. The examples above are all under fifteen words. That is the ceiling.

Too corporate. "We value your feedback and would appreciate a moment of your time" is the sign equivalent of the automated email nobody opens. It sounds like a policy, not a person.

Too desperate. "Please please please leave us a 5-star review" (and variations of it) makes customers uncomfortable and, as of April 2026, asking for a specific star rating violates Google's Business Profile guidelines.

Conditional. Any phrasing that implies only happy customers should scan, like "if you enjoyed your visit" or "if we met your expectations," is review gating. It also signals to the customer that you only want to hear good things, which is its own kind of trust problem.

A note on format

The copy is one part of the sign. The other part is the QR code itself, which should be large enough to scan from the distance where a customer will naturally be looking at it, usually two to three feet. The copy goes above or below the code, not wrapped around it.

Sub-lines like "Takes 30 seconds" or "No app needed" are useful additions underneath the main line. They answer the two questions customers ask before deciding to scan: how long is this, and do I need to download something.
