Real results, with real numbers

Quotes are nice. Numbers are better. Here's what happened to four businesses' Google reviews after they started using TapStar cards — in Delhi NCR and in Bengaluru.

Salon · Delhi NCR

ACS Unisex Salon (Amir Creation Salon)

1 → 20Google reviews
1★ → 4.2★Google rating
2 weekstime taken

Before

After five years in business, the salon had a single Google review and a 1-star rating. For anyone searching for a salon nearby, that one rating was the first impression — and it was costing them new customers every day.

What they did

The salon started using a TapStar Google review card at the counter. Clients tap it, the Google review form opens on their phone, and the review is done before they leave.

Result

Within two days the salon had 10 reviews and a 3.7★ rating. Within two weeks it reached 20 reviews and 4.2★ — turning the salon's Google listing from a warning sign into a reason to visit.

“I didn't know this was even possible with Google reviews. Five years in business, one rating, one comment.”— Mr. Amir, owner

Dairy

Zaffran Dairy

2 → 27Google reviews
4.2★Google rating
13×more reviews

Before

Zaffran Dairy had just two Google reviews — far too few for new customers to trust, however good the products were.

What they did

Zaffran Dairy started using a TapStar Google review card at the counter, so customers could leave a review with one tap while paying.

Result

Zaffran Dairy grew from 2 to 27 Google reviews with a 4.2★ rating — more than thirteen times the reviews it started with, all from real customers at the counter.

Before

Udupi Upachar had been stuck at 3.8 stars for years with too few reviews. The owner felt it had been quietly costing the restaurant footfall.

What they did

TapStar cards were set up over WhatsApp and sent to Bengaluru ready to use — no visit needed. The cards went on the counter where diners pay.

Result

The restaurant added 50 Google reviews in two weeks. It shows the card works just as well a long way from Delhi: set up remotely, delivered by courier, and tapping from day one.

“We were stuck at 3.8 stars, and years of too few reviews had quietly cost us footfall.”— Mr. Ram, owner

2×reviews

Before

The bakery had 10 Google reviews and a 4.0★ rating — fine, but not enough to stand out when people nearby searched for cakes, snacks and burgers.

What they did

Mr. Kashif Ali put a TapStar Google review card at the bakery counter. Customers tap it while they pay, and Google's review form opens straight away on their phone.

Result

The bakery doubled its reviews from 10 to 20, and its rating rose from 4.0★ to 4.4★.

“TapStar gave me their review card. We went from 4 stars to 4.4, and from 10 reviews to 20 — in the blink of an eye.”— Mr. Kashif Ali, Al Juweria Bake & Bite

What these results have in common

  • The card sits where customers pay. That's the moment customers are happiest and most likely to leave a review.
  • Staff ask, the card does the rest. One sentence at billing, one tap, and the review form is open — no searching Google, no typing the business name.
  • Fast results. Two of the three saw big jumps within two weeks; the salon moved from 1 to 10 reviews in two days.
  • Location doesn't matter. Udupi Upachar in Bengaluru was set up entirely over WhatsApp and courier.

Figures are as reported by the businesses from their Google profiles, September 2026. Results vary by footfall and how consistently staff ask. TapStar never offers incentives for reviews and doesn't filter who is asked — both are against Google's rules.
