Product basics
What is TableTopSign?
TableTopSign turns a physical QR sign, sticker, or code into a mobile action page for your business. A customer scans, lands on your Smart Page, and takes one action — leave a review, book, order, claim an offer, or get in touch. We can even build the page for you.
What is a Smart Page?
A Smart Page is your mobile page — links, menu, services, hours, offers, reviews, and contact buttons in one place — that your QR opens. Think of it as a one-tap mini mobile website built for customers who are ready to act. See a live example.
Is this just a QR code generator?
No. A QR generator gives you a static code and stops there. TableTopSign gives you a editable QR you can repoint anytime, a mobile Smart Page built to get a customer action, scan and action tracking, and a branded physical sign — the whole path from scan to result. See the Done-For-You Kit.
Is a Smart Page the same as a website?
Not quite. A website is built for browsing; a Smart Page is built for one tap, one action. It loads instantly on a phone, focuses on what a customer should do next, and you can change it anytime without touching code. More on Smart Pages vs websites.
Do I need a website to use TableTopSign?
No. Many businesses use a Smart Page as their only mobile presence. If you do have a website, you can link to it from your Smart Page or point a QR straight at it.
Can I use TableTopSign as a mini mobile website?
Yes — that’s one of the most popular ways to use it. Add your logo, links, menu or services, hours, and contact buttons, and your Smart Page works like a clean mini mobile website customers reach in one scan. See how.
What happens when someone scans my QR code?
Their phone camera opens your Smart Page instantly — no app to download. From there they can call, book, order, review, claim an offer, join a list, or follow you, depending on what you set up.
Can I change where my QR code goes after printing?
Yes. Every TableTopSign QR uses a permanent redirect link, so the printed code never changes — only where it sends people. Update your Smart Page or repoint the QR anytime and your existing signs keep working. Your QR can change later. Your sign does not have to.
Can I use the same Smart Page with multiple QR signs or stickers?
Absolutely. Assign one Smart Page to as many signs, stickers, table tents, or cards as you like.
What you can do with it
Can TableTopSign help me get more Google reviews?
Yes. A review-focused Smart Page guides happy customers straight to your Google review link with one tap — exactly when they’re standing in front of your sign. QR review signs.
Can customers book appointments from a Smart Page?
Yes. Add a Book button linked to your booking tool (Square, Calendly, Vagaro, your own page, etc.) so customers can book in a tap.
Can I add menus, services, offers, or coupons?
Yes — Smart Pages support menus with photos and prices, service lists, claimable coupons, and promotional offers. Show what you sell and let customers act on it. QR menu signs.
Can I collect emails or leads?
Yes. Add an email signup, a giveaway entry, or a contact/request form to turn scans into a customer list you can follow up with.
Where do the customers I collect go, and can I export them?
Every review, coupon claim, giveaway entry and signup is saved as a contact under Dashboard → Activity → Contacts, de-duplicated into one person even if they did several things. On any paid plan you can export to CSV, which imports straight into Google Contacts, Mailchimp, Square, or any CRM. Contacts & follow-ups.
Can I use it for restaurants, salons, med spas, cafes, events, or home services?
Yes — it works for any local business with in-person traffic. Restaurants and cafes show menus and take orders; salons and med spas drive bookings and reviews; events capture leads; home services get calls and estimate requests. See use cases.
Can I use QR stickers, business cards, wall signs, table tents, or window decals?
Yes. Put your QR anywhere customers already are — counter signs, stickers, table tents, window decals, business cards, flyers, receipts, or an event booth. The same Smart Page works behind all of them.
Getting set up
How do I get started?
Type your business name — we find you on Google and fill in the rest. Pick what a scan should do (a Google review, booking, your menu), pick your sign, and save it with your email. It takes about two minutes and costs nothing until you order the printed sign ($29 once). Rather not do it yourself? We can do it for you.
Can TableTopSign build the page for me?
Yes. With done-for-you setup we create your Smart Page from your business info and links, so you can go live without building it yourself. Request a free mockup.
What information do I need to create a Smart Page?
Just the basics: your business name, logo (optional), and the links or actions you care about — your review link, booking link, menu, phone number, or an offer. You can start with one and add more later.
How long does setup take?
Most owners publish a simple Smart Page in a few minutes. Done-for-you setup means there’s essentially nothing to build on your end.
Can I preview my Smart Page before sharing it?
Yes. The builder shows a live phone preview as you edit, and you can scan your own QR to see exactly what a customer sees before you print or share it.
Can I edit my Smart Page later?
Anytime. Edits go live instantly and your printed QR never needs reprinting — change your menu, swap an offer, or update hours whenever you like.
QR codes & signs
What is a smart QR code?
A smart QR code routes through a permanent redirect link you control instead of pointing directly at a fixed URL. That lets you change the destination after printing and track every scan — a regular printed QR is frozen forever. More on smart QR codes.
Why should my QR point to TableTopSign instead of directly to my website?
Because a direct QR is locked to one URL forever. Routing through TableTopSign means you can repoint it anytime (new promo, new menu, new review link), see scan counts, and reuse the same sign as your business changes — no reprinting.
Can I download a QR code and print it on stickers, signs, business cards, or flyers?
Yes. Download a high-resolution QR for any sign and print it on stickers, counter signs, table tents, window decals, business cards, flyers, or receipts.
Can I track scans?
Yes — every scan that routes through your link is counted, with bot and duplicate hits filtered out. See lifetime totals and recent trends in your dashboard.
Signs, proofs & shipping
What are the physical signs made of?
Every sign is printed in our Connecticut shop with a UV printer, so the color is crisp and wipe-clean. The 4×3″ counter sign is clear acrylic, heat-bent at the foot to stand on its own. The 4×6″ Tap & Scan stand and the booth pay dock stand in a sturdy 3D-printed base (Black, Ivory White, Dark Green or Sakura Pink), with an NFC tag inside on the tap versions. The 4×4″ tap card pins up on any board.
Will I see a proof before it prints?
Always. We email a digital proof within 24 hours and never print until you approve it. You also get a 30-minute window after ordering to make changes yourself in the designer.
How long until my sign arrives?
You’ll get a digital proof within 24 hours. Once you approve, we print and ship within about a day — if you’re local, you can have it in 1–2 days; otherwise it ships straight to you.
Where do I see my sign order and tracking?
In Dashboard → QR + Signs → Signs & Print. Each order shows its status (received, in production, shipped, delivered) with a clickable carrier tracking link once it ships. Track your order.
Do you offer custom signs, stickers, or website services?
Yes. Beyond standard signs we offer custom design, stickers, and done-for-you Smart Page setup. Tell us what you need and we’ll help you launch.
What if my sign arrives damaged?
Email hello@tabletopsign.comwith a photo within 14 days and we’ll reprint and reship free. See Shipping & Returns.
Plans & billing
Do I have to pay monthly?
Not to start. Your signs ($29 each, 3 for $79, free shipping) include 60 days of everything — your full page, scan tracking and reports. After that, $29/mo keeps it all on. Skip it and your sign still works: it opens a simple page with your review link, phone and directions. See pricing.
What happens if I don't order a sign?
It stays up free for 30 days — share its link in the meantime. After that it pauses (visitors see a “back soon” note) until its printed sign is ordered. Your page and QR code are saved, and ordering the sign turns it back on, with 60 days of everything included.
What do the monthly plans add?
Every sign includes 60 days of its live Smart Page, scan reports and changes. After that, Monthly ($29/mo) keeps reports and editing going. If you stop, your sign never goes dark: its code keeps opening a basic page with your review link and phone. Plans & billing.
Can I cancel a plan?
Yes, anytime, from your account. A page with a printed sign stays live after you cancel; extra pages pause until you need them again.
Can you do it all for me?
Yes. With the Done-For-You Kit ($249 setup, then $29/mo after 60 days) we design your sign, build the page, connect your links, and make your changes for you. You approve a free mockup before anything prints. How it works.
How much does a custom tabletop sign cost?
A 4×3 counter sign is $29.00 (3 for $79), the 4×6 Tap & Scan stand $26.00 (with NFC $36.00), and the 4×4 tap card $17.00. Free shipping on all of them. See what affects custom tabletop sign pricing.
Tracking & follow-up
What can I track, and what counts as a customer action?
You can track scans plus customer actions — review clicks, offer/coupon claims, email signups, giveaway entries, survey responses, and group-list requests. An action is any meaningful thing a customer does on your Smart Page.
How do I know if my Smart Page is working?
Your dashboard shows scans and actions over time. Rising scans tell you the sign gets noticed; rising actions tell you the page converts.
Can I see review clicks, offer claims, email signups, and group lists?
Yes — each of these is recorded as an action in your dashboard so you can see exactly what customers are doing, not just how many scanned.
Can I get notified when someone takes action?
Yes. You can be emailed when customers take key actions — like a new lead, offer claim, or group-list request — so you can follow up before they go cold.
