NFC tags

One tap from the bar to the menu

Small NFC stickers go along the bar and around the room. A guest holds their phone to one and your menu opens, ready to order and pay. A good tag tells them that's what to do, so nobody has to ask.

Point at the target

The NFC sticker sits under the centre circle. The symbol in it is the one people already know from contactless payments.

Say what happens

"Tap your phone here" and "Order & pay, skip the line" are the whole instruction. Change the words to match your bar.

Make it yours

Add your bar's name or logo and use your colours so the tag looks like part of the place, not a sticker someone added.

Tag maker

Design your own tag

Change anything on the left and the tag updates on the right. Your logo and text stay in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Shape

Where guests collect, like "Main bar" or "Patio bar". Make a version for each bar, or leave it blank for one design everywhere.

Replaces your bar's name. A wide logo on a transparent background looks best.

Colours

Keep the two colours clearly different so the target stands out in low light.

Sample tag for The Copper Kettle: a contactless symbol in the centre with the words Tap your phone here, Order and pay, skip the line, No app needed, and Main bar

Setting up

From design to bar top

1. Buy NFC stickers

Standard NTAG213 or NTAG215 stickers work. Round ones around 25–30 mm are easy to find, and you need a few for each bar, plus some around the room for ordering ahead.

2. Write each one

In your dashboard, under Setup ▸ Spots & tags, find the spot the tag is for, tap Write a tag and hold the sticker to the back of an iPhone or NFC Android phone. It takes a few seconds.

3. Print your design

Print it on adhesive label paper, or have a print shop make stickers or bar-top cards. Line the centre circle up over the NFC sticker so the chip sits right under the target.

4. Stick it down and test it

Use a flat, dry surface where guests will naturally reach, then tap it with your own phone. NFC reads through thin paper, card and plastic.

Metal bar tops: NFC stickers don't read reliably when stuck straight onto metal. Buy "on-metal" (ferrite-backed) stickers, or put the tag on a non-metal card or coaster.
