JTT for Food Tours
More 5★ reviews and cashless, optional tips — $ / €0 cost to your company
Your hosts create unforgettable tasting journeys—but guests rarely have cash by the end of a multi-stop tour. With JTT, guests scan a QR at the goodbye moment, tip in seconds (no app), and leave a quick rating. 4–5★ guests are routed to your chosen review platform; 1–3★ feedback stays private so you can fix issues quietly.
Your cost: $ / €0. A small JTT platform fee and card processing fees are shown transparently to the guest before they pay. No POS changes.
Primary outcomes
  • More 4–5★ public reviews (Google, TripAdvisor, Yelp, Booking.com — one active at a time)
  • Optional digital tips for hosts/guides or pooled teams—no cash handling, no awkwardness
  • Private, actionable feedback for coaching and service recovery

Best placement practices for food tours (what actually drives tips & reviews)
Final Venue (top performer)
  • Table tent on the table where the closing toast happens.
  • Counter/host stand placard near where guests regroup for goodbyes.
Meeting-Point Return / Debrief
  • Poster or easel sign at the original meeting spot (bench, plaza, café).
  • Clipboard card the host can hold during closing remarks.
In-Transit (bus/van tours)
  • Exit door sticker + first-row seat-back card.
  • Quick on-screen QR in any tour video loop (if used).
Host Wearables
  • Lanyard/badge QR for individual attribution.
  • Optional wristband card for large groups.
Printed Route Card / Welcome Packet
  • Small QR + short URL on the route card given at check-in for redundancy (guests often keep these).
Design rules
  • High contrast, generous whitespace, headline "Scan to tip — no app", short URL under the QR.
  • Matte finish (avoid glare); minimum QR 5–7 cm / 2–3 in; larger for distance or low light.
  • Clarify recipient: "Tip your food tour host/team" (so guests don't confuse it with restaurant staff tips).
Suggested staff one-liners (non-pushy, one time)
Deliver once at the thank-you moment. Smile, point once, move on.
Host / Guide (group close-out)
"If you enjoyed the tour, you can scan here to leave a quick tip for the host team—totally optional. Thank you for joining us!"
At the final venue
"As we wrap up, there's a small QR on the table if you'd like to leave a tip for your host—much appreciated."
In transit (bus/van)
"Thanks for riding with us—there's a QR by the exit if you'd like to leave a tip for your host."
DOs:
Smile, keep it brief, point once, accept "no" gracefully.
DON'Ts:
Don't repeat, don't suggest amounts, don't handle a guest's phone.
Team vs individual tips (you choose)
Team / pooled
Host Team, Route A Team, AM/PM Team
  • Easiest start; distributes fairly across shared duties.
Individual attribution
Each host has a personal QR (lanyard/badge).
  • Great for recognition and leaderboards.
Many operators mix both: a team QR at the final venue plus individual lanyards for hosts. Funds can settle to the business; you distribute per your policy. JTT provides rails & reporting; tip allocation/compliance remain with you.

FAQs (food tours)
Does this replace our POS or booking system?
No—JTT sits alongside your current setup. Keep your POS/booking unchanged.
Who pays fees?
The guest. They see a transparent breakdown before paying. JTT is $ / €0 for your company.
Do restaurants on the route get the tips?
JTT's QR is for your tour hosts/team. Guests may still tip restaurants separately if they wish.
What if we have multiple departures/routes?
Create one QR per host or per route/time slot. Your dashboard shows totals by endpoint.
Offline areas?
Guests can scan and tip when back in coverage (include a short URL on signs and route cards).
Is this GDPR/PCI friendly?
Payments are processed by a PCI-compliant provider; JTT doesn't store card numbers and doesn't show guest PII to staff. (General info; not legal advice.)
Which review platform first?
Tourist markets often benefit most from TripAdvisor or Google. You can switch anytime (one active at a time).
