JTT for Surf Schools
Cashless tips and more 5★ reviews — $0 cost to your school
Most students don't bring cash to the beach. With JTT, they scan a tasteful QR at the natural "thank-you" moment, tip in seconds (no app), and leave a quick rating. 4–5★ students are routed to your chosen review platform; 1–3★ feedback stays private so you can fix issues quietly.
No app. No hardware. Just a QR code.
Cost to you: $0 — students see a transparent platform fee and card processing fees before they pay; you keep 100% of the tip amount.
Outcomes at a glance
  • 20–40s from scan → tip → done.
  • Up to +25% more tips when the process is fast and cashless.
  • Public review lift on your selected platform within 2–4 weeks.
Choose your setup: Individual • Pooled • Hybrid
Individual (per instructor/guide)
Ideal for lead instructors, assistant coaches, and private-lesson pros. Each person gets a personal QR (lanyard tag, rash-guard clip, or shack display). Great for recognition and transparent performance views. Employees can log in to see what they've earned.
Pooled (per class/team/desk)
Perfect for group lessons, kids' camps, surf-skate clinics, or the beach-shack rental desk. Students tip the class/team/desk; you distribute per policy. Toggle pooled vs. individual anytime.
Hybrid
Use both: instructor lanyards plus a shack counter "catch-all" to capture late tips during board/wetsuit return or photo pickup. (This mirrors our "goodbye-moment" play from hotels.)
Student flow (20–40 seconds)
Scan
a QR at the instructor lanyard, the board-return rack, or the shack counter.
Select amount
($5 / $10 / $15 / custom) and pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or card — no app.
Leave a quick rating/comment
("Loved the pop-up drill!").
Smart routing
4–5★ → public review link (Google/TripAdvisor/Yelp, one active at a time); 1–3★ → private coaching feedback.
Placements ranked by impact (with DO / DON'T cues)
Tier 1 — Primary "thank-you" moments
  • Instructor lanyard tag (waterproof QR) visible during the end-of-lesson recap.
  • Board-return rack sign at the exact moment students hand back boards/wetsuits.
  • Beach-shack counter tent to catch families paying for rentals/photos.
  • Van/transport door cling for shuttled lessons; visible as students step off/on. (Use the same principle as hotels: place QRs at the goodbye moment to maximize conversions.)
Tier 2 — Reinforcers
  • Booking confirmation email/SMS with short URL.
  • Photo-delivery email (post-lesson) with "Say thanks in seconds."
  • After-action cards with QR for repeat students.

DON'T
  • Don't bury QRs on cluttered sticker boards.
  • Don't place QRs where salt-spray fogs visibility (keep them wipe-clean).
  • Avoid tiny QRs on moving kit (hard to scan) — keep at or near eye line. (These mirror the clarity/readability rules used in other verticals.)
Staff one-liner library (by role & moment)
1
End-of-lesson circle (lead instructor)
"If you'd like to leave a quick thank-you, you can scan my tag — totally optional and takes 10 seconds."
2
On the sand (assistant coach helping with gear)
"If today helped your pop-up, there's a QR on my lanyard or at the board rack."
3
Beach-shack desk (checkout/photos)
"You can leave a rating or tip by scanning here — it's quick and optional."
4
Private lesson handoff (instructor → desk)
"If you'd like to leave a thank-you, you can scan here or at the counter when you return your board."
(Tone stays guest-first, emphasizing gratitude over obligation — consistent with our other verticals.)
Launch kit (Day-0) + 7-day tune-up
Day-0 checklist
  • Create account & connect payouts.
  • Choose your public review platform and paste the official "write a review" URL.
  • Add instructors/teams; generate QRs (instructor lanyards + class/team + shack catch-all).
  • Print waterproof lanyard tags, board-rack signs, counter tents, and (optional) van clings.
  • Teach one-liners at the beach huddle.
  • Place signs; upload two photos per placement (wide + close-up) to confirm activation.
7-day tune-up
  • If no tips by Day 3: move one sign to an even clearer goodbye moment (board-return chokepoint), add a second rack sign, refresh the one-liner.
  • Share one positive student comment with the team; add/keep the shack catch-all endpoint.

FAQs (surf-school specific)
Does this replace our POS or booking software?
No — JTT sits alongside your current setup. Keep your POS/booking unchanged.
Who pays the fees?
The student. They see a transparent breakdown before paying. JTT is $0 for your school.
Can we pool tips across a class or desk?
Yes. Create pooled endpoints per class/team/desk, or assign individual QR codes. Toggle anytime.
Is it GDPR/PCI friendly?
Payments are processed by a PCI-compliant provider; JTT does not store card numbers and does not show student PII to staff. (General info; not legal advice.)
Can we switch review platforms?
Yes. You can choose one active public review destination at a time (e.g., Google first, then TripAdvisor/Yelp).
