A review asked at the right moment, not begged for

The "leave us a review" sign asks a favour; it hardly converts any more. Lecy moves the review request to the one moment when the customer is inclined to say thank you: right after being served, on the page already in front of them.

There are two ways to ask a customer for a review. The first: hope. A sign on the counter, a "Give us your feedback" QR code, sometimes a plea from the waiter. It means asking a favour (time and effort) at a moment the customer did not choose, of people who are already on their way out. Conversion rates for this method have collapsed: everyone does it, nobody responds any more.

The second way: the right moment

Lecy builds the review into the loyalty loop, at the precise moment it works best:

  • 1. The customer taps the tag and earns their point. They have just been served and just received something: the psychological disposition is ideal.
  • 2. The page is already in front of them. No cold redirect, no email three days later, no QR code to hunt for on a sign.
  • 3. They can leave a Google review in one tap, right there, in their own words, under their own name. Or not: the customer writes what they want, or nothing.
  • 4. They can also say how it went. That feedback reaches the shopkeeper in private, in the back office, to help the shop improve. The customer feels heard; the shop finally receives the useful criticism directly.
What Lecy does not do: it writes no review, buys none, moderates none. What it does: it changes the moment of the request, and removes the sign at the till and the ask by the staff. The rest belongs to the customer. That is what makes these reviews worth something: they are left by people who were actually at the till, minutes earlier.

What it produces

A steady flow of recent reviews, written by real customers whose visit is proven by the NFC tap. Exactly the signal Google's local algorithm values: volume, recency, real customers. And, increasingly, the signal AI assistants read when they recommend a place.

And always the same product rule: the team never intervenes. Nobody begs, nobody chases, nobody manages anything. The review machine runs on its own, at every visit to the till.
