Digital business cards for hotel and restaurant teams

Give every manager and guest-facing team member a bilingual digital business card, and give your venue one link for the menu, opening hours, map and WhatsApp reservations. Guests open it with a tap or a QR code — no app needed — and an NFC review stand at the counter makes it easy for every guest to leave a Google review.

The challenge

Where hospitality contacts get lost

01

Staff move on faster than print runs

Sales managers, concierges and chefs change roles. Boxes of printed cards with the old names end up in the bin.

02

Bookers want a direct line

Event planners and corporate clients want the sales manager's WhatsApp and email, not the switchboard.

03

Menus, hours and directions are scattered

Guests ask the same questions — menu, opening hours, location — that one link could answer.

04

Your review form is hard to reach

Guests have to search your name, open your profile and find the review button — several steps, just as they're leaving.

How Cardly.ae helps

How it works in your venue

Cards for your whole team

Managers, sales, events and front-of-house staff get bilingual digital cards on one brand template. Remove leavers in one click.

WhatsApp reservations

Venue and staff cards open a WhatsApp chat in one tap, with the right +971 number.

Hours, menu and map on one card

Give your venue a bilingual digital card with opening hours, a menu link, a map and a link to your booking page.

Event and group enquiries

A short form on your sales team's cards collects a planner's name, contact details and message, with consent, and lands in your leads inbox.

Google review stands and cards

An NFC stand on the counter, or a review card in the bill folder, opens your Google review form with one tap. Put a QR code of the same link next to it for phones without NFC.

Within Google's rules

Ask every guest the same way. Never offer incentives, don't pressure guests to review before they leave, and don't set staff review targets.

Card setup

Recommended setup for a hotel or restaurant

A rollout most venues finish in an afternoon.

  1. 1Create a venue card with opening hours, a menu link, a map and WhatsApp for reservations, in Arabic and English.
  2. 2Start a Teams workspace with your brand template, and invite managers, sales, events and front-of-house staff.
  3. 3Order PVC NFC cards for guest-facing staff. Contact our sales team with the order and we link each card to the right person's profile.
  4. 4Print the venue card's QR code on table tents, menus and the front desk.
  5. 5Copy the review link from your Google Business Profile (Read reviews → Get more reviews) and add it when you order your review stands.
  6. 6Train staff on one neutral line for every guest — “We'd value your honest feedback — tap here to leave a Google review.” — and reply to new reviews every week.

Frequently asked questions

Can each staff member have their own card?

Yes. On Teams, managers invite staff by email and each person completes their own card on your brand template. When someone leaves, remove them from the team in one click and their card is detached from your team. See Teams.

Can guests book a table through the card?

The card's WhatsApp button opens a chat with your reservations number, and you can link to the booking page you already use. Cardly.ae doesn't take bookings itself.

Does the review stand open Google reviews directly?

Yes. The stand is set up to open your Google review link, so guests land on the review form rather than your profile page. See Google review cards and stands.

Can our staff ask guests for Google reviews?

Yes, as long as every guest is asked the same way. Give staff one neutral line — “We'd value your honest feedback — tap here to leave a Google review.” — and follow Google's review policy: no incentives, no asking only happy guests, no pressure to review before they leave and no staff review targets. More in our guide to getting more Google reviews.

What if a guest's phone doesn't support NFC?

Most recent iPhones and Android phones read NFC. For older phones, place a printed QR code of your review link next to the stand so guests can scan it with their camera — make one free with our Google review QR code generator.

Do review stands need a subscription?

No. Review stands (AED 149) and review cards (AED 79) are one-time purchases.
