RateMe.Club: One Code to Scan Them All

RateMe.Club is a redirection service that allows merchants to consolidate and manage all their social media review platforms in a single QR code or NFC tag.

📌 How RateMe.Club Works

  1. Merchants create a QR code or NFC tag using the RateMe.Club service.
  2. They select and update the preferred review platforms (Google, Yelp, Facebook, Instagram, Trustpilot, etc.).
  3. Customers scan the QR code (or tap an NFC tag) using their smartphone.
    • If multiple review sites are available, the customer sees a list and selects their preferred platform.
    • If only one site is enabled, the customer is instantly redirected to that review page.
  4. The review process remains seamless, and no personal data is collected.

Yes, you can make as many copies as you like and use them anywhere you see fit. Once you own a QR code it is yours for life.

No, it is free, the only condition is you must have at least one QR code to manage. If you register with the account, but don't add a QR tag to your account will be deleted after 24 hours.

Currently there are only two ways to purchase a QR code, the first is from a vendor selling premanufactured display stands, table labels and such. Ebay is a good place to find a vendor close to you.

The second way is to purchase one online through this site, once purchased it will be viewable in your Tags page, from there you can download it and use it wherever you like.

To take ownership of this NFC card:

  1. Go to https://rateme.club and either login or create a new account.
  2. Go to the Tags Page and enter the Tag Number and its PIN in to the 'Adopt' fields.
  3. Give the Tag a name and attach it to a Site (Venue), (add a venue on the Venue Page if required).

NFC Tags for Venues

What is an NFC Tag?

An NFC (Near Field Communication) tag is a small, wireless device that uses radio frequency tech to share data with an NFC-enabled device (like a smartphone) when tapped or held close—within about 4 cm. It’s a tiny chip with an antenna, storing a small payload like a URL (e.g., https://rateme.club/tagcode), and it’s passive, meaning it powers up from the phone’s signal, no battery needed. In Australia, where tap-and-go payments are second nature, NFC tags feel intuitive and familiar.

How NFC Tags Redirect Venue Customers to https://rateme.club/tagcode

Here’s how you’d set this up for your restaurant, keeping Aussie diners in mind:

  1. Programming the Tag: Using an app like NFC Tools (free on iOS/Android), you write the URL https://rateme.club/tagcode onto the NFC tag. This link could lead to a review platform, a social media hub, or a custom page tied to your venue.
  2. Placement in the Restaurant: Embed the tag in a small polycarbonate (PC) display stand on tables—like a menu holder—or stick it on a bill folder, coaster, or counter sign. In Australia’s laid-back dining scene, a table stand works well; customers can tap while sipping a schooner or waiting for the bill.
  3. Customer Interaction: A customer taps their NFC-enabled phone (NFC on, common for contactless payments here) against the tag. Modern Aussie phones—iPhone 7+, Samsung Galaxy, etc.—detect the tag and prompt the browser or app to open https://rateme.club/tagcode. No QR code fumbling, just a quick tap—perfect for busy venues in Sydney’s Darling Harbour or Melbourne’s Federation Square.
  4. Outcome: The customer lands on https://rateme.club/tagcode, where they can choose which socials they want to go to, no searching for the venue or straying to the wrong site!

This is faster than QR codes and aligns with Australia’s tech-forward culture—over 90% of adults have NFC-capable smartphones (per 2023 data), especially in urban hubs.

Best Places to Buy NFC Tags in Australia for This Use Case

Since you’re redirecting to https://rateme.club/tagcode, you need tags with enough memory (at least 26 bytes, but NTAG213’s 144 bytes is standard and plenty) and options for small PC display stands. Here’s where to get them in Australia:

1. Officeworks (officeworks.com.au)

  • Offerings: Sells NFC stickers (e.g., Timeskey, $15–$25 AUD for 10) compatible with NTAG213 chips—perfect for your URL.
  • Small PC Display Stands: No pre-embedded NFC stands, but they stock clear polycarbonate sign holders (e.g., “A6 Portrait Stand” for $5–$8 AUD). Stick an NFC tag on or inside—DIY is quick and cost-effective.
  • Tip: Grab a pack of tags and stands in-store, test with your phone, and deploy same-day.

2. Jaycar Electronics (jaycar.com.au)

  • Offerings: NTAG213 NFC stickers ($3–$5 AUD each, or $20 AUD for a pack)—reliable and reprogrammable for https://rateme.club/tagcode.
  • Small PC Display Stands: No ready-made NFC stands, but they sell polycarbonate enclosures or acrylic bases ($5–$15 AUD). Embed a tag yourself with glue or tape—ideal for a custom setup.
  • Why Buy Here: Aussie-owned, with physical shops nationwide (e.g., Canberra, Hobart). Delivery’s fast if you’re regional—think $8–$10 AUD shipping.
  • Tip: Pair with their NFC reader ($20 AUD) to double-check programming.

3. eBay Australia (ebay.com.au)

  • Offerings: Search “NFC tags Australia” for local listings—10 NTAG213 stickers for $10–$20 AUD, shipped from Sydney or Melbourne.
  • Small PC Display Stands: Look for “NFC table stand” or “NFC display”—some sellers offer acrylic/PC stands with embedded tags ($15–$30 AUD each). Filter “Located in Australia” to skip slow overseas shipping.
  • Why Buy Here: Cheap and local, often with free shipping. Check seller ratings—aim for 4.5+ stars.
  • Tip: Search “NFC restaurant” for pre-made options suited to your use.

4. Local Custom Suppliers (e.g., Vistaprint AU or Signage Shops)

  • Offerings: Vistaprint (vistaprint.com.au) does custom table tents ($10–$20 AUD each)—add NFC stickers from Jaycar. Local signmakers (e.g., Signarama, Snap Printing) can craft PC stands with embedded tags ($20–$50 AUD each).
  • Small PC Display Stands: Get bespoke stands with your logo and NFC built-in—great for branding in trendy spots like Fitzroy or Newtown.
  • Why Buy Here: Local production, no import delays. Call for quotes—small runs (10–20 units) are doable.

Deployment Tips

  • Test It: Program https://rateme.club/tagcode with NFC Tools, tap with your phone, and confirm it works (NFC on, no lock on the tag).
  • Placement: Table stands are ace—put them where Aussies linger, like near the EFTPOS machine or condiment tray.
  • Signage: Add a “Tap to Rate Us” note—keep it cheeky, like “Give us a burl via rateme.club!”

This setup leverages Australia’s tech comfort and social media habits, driving traffic to your page with minimal fuss.

You can find the URL that needs to be written in the Tag information in the Tags page next to NFC Code: It will look like this 'https://rateme.club/0000000'
