JTT for Tours (All Types)
More 5★ reviews and cashless, optional tips — $ / €0 cost to your business
Great tours create grateful guests—but almost nobody carries cash at the end of the experience. 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 guides or pooled teams — no cash handling, no awkwardness
  • Private, actionable feedback for coaching and service recovery

Best placement practices (what actually drives tips & reviews)
Walking / City / Museum Tours
  • Guide lanyard/badge QR + finish-point sign (bench, plaza, café).
  • Secondary: meeting-point poster reminding guests for post-tour tip & review.
Food & Wine Tours
  • Host lanyard + table-top tent at the final venue.
  • Menu slip or tasting mat insert with short URL.
Bus / Coach / Shuttle Tours
  • Exit door sticker + first-row seat-back card (guests pause here).
  • Driver/guide lanyard for one-to-one thanks.
Boat / River / Coastal Tours
  • Gangway or dock placard at disembark.
  • Bar counter tent if on-board service is provided.
Adventure / Outdoors (rafting, hiking, zipline, photo trips)
  • Gear return / finish gate placard.
  • Guide helmet/pack tag or clip-on badge with the QR.
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.
Suggested staff one-liners (non-pushy, one time)
Deliver once at the thank-you moment. Smile, point once, move on.
Guide / Host (group close-out)
"If you enjoyed the tour, you can scan here to leave a quick tip—totally optional. Thank you for joining us!"
Driver / Skipper
"Thanks for riding with us—there's a QR by the exit if you'd like to leave a tip."
Food/Wine Host
"If you'd like to thank the team, there's a small QR here—much appreciated."
DOs:
  • Smile
  • Keep it brief
  • Point once
  • Accept "no" gracefully
DON'Ts:
  • Don't repeat
  • Don't suggest amounts
  • Don't handle the guest's phone
Team vs individual tips (you choose)
Team / pooled
Guide Team, Boat Crew, Driver + Guide Team, Food Tour Team
  • Easiest start; distributes fairly across shared roles.
Individual attribution
Each guide or skipper has a personal QR (lanyard or clipboard).
  • Great for recognition and seasonal leaderboards.
Many operators mix both: a team QR at the exit plus individual lanyards for guides. Funds can settle to the business; you distribute per your policy. JTT provides rails & reporting; tip allocation/compliance remain with you.

FAQs (tours)
1
Does this replace our POS or booking system?
No—JTT sits alongside your current setup. Keep your POS/booking unchanged.
2
Who pays fees?
The guest. They see a transparent breakdown before paying. JTT is $ / €0 for your business.
3
What if we have multiple departures or guides per day?
Create one QR per guide or one per departure team. Your dashboard shows totals by endpoint.
4
Offline areas?
Guests typically scan/pay when back in coverage (short URL under QR helps). Place a finish-point sign where signal is strongest.
5
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.)
6
Which review platform first?
Tourist markets often benefit most from TripAdvisor or Google. You can switch anytime (one active at a time).
