    {
      "question": "What matters most for a tabletop review prompt?",
      "answer": "Placement and clarity usually matter most, because the prompt often has to work without staff explanation and must attract attention on its own."
    },
    {
      "question": "Should a tabletop prompt always be a rigid card?",
      "answer": "Not always. A rigid card can feel more premium, but a sticker or integrated stand can be better when the surface, cleaning routine or available space changes the practical fit."
    },
    {
      "question": "Which tabletop tent form factor works best — A-frame, prism, lucite holder, or engraved block?",
      "answer": "Match the form to the venue gravitas + cleaning regime + placement context. Bi-fold A-frame tent (6×4×6 in cardstock, $0.30-$1.00) is most common for restaurant + cafe + casual venues; freestanding + cost-effective. Tri-fold prism tent (3-sided, $0.40-$1.20) for round tables + central placement visible from all sides. Tabletop stand with insert pocket (lucite/acrylic/wood holder + replaceable paper insert, $3-$15 per stand + $0.20 per refresh) for reusable + cleaning-resistant + premium feel. Lucite counter-block (3×3×3 in acrylic block with engraved 'Tap to Review', $5-$20) for minimalist + counter-only venues. Engraved wooden block ($8-$30, FSC hardwood) for premium restaurant + spa + coffee with sustainability emphasis. Metal tabletop sign ($15-$50, brass / brushed steel) for luxury restaurant + premium hotel + private dining. Window decal + countertop sticker ($0.30-$0.80) for venues without tabletop space."
    },
    {
      "question": "Where should we place tabletop prompts across different venues?",
      "answer": "Match placement to customer-flow + exposure window. Restaurant table center A-frame (10-25% sustained tap rate at casual + family-style). Restaurant check-presenter slot (8-15% at full-service). Cafe / coffee shop tabletop (5-10% at fast turnover). Hotel in-room desk / nightstand (3-10% with multi-day exposure). Hotel lobby seating (2-5% passive). Spa / salon waiting area magazine table (3-8% during 5-15 min wait). Medical clinic exam room counter (4-10% HIPAA-compliant generic prompt). Medical waiting room reading table (3-8% during longer waits). Bar / lounge top (5-12% with signature drink card adjacent). Boutique fitting room exit (4-10%). B2B conference room + reception (3-8%). Veterinary exam room (5-12% with pet imagery). Visibility hierarchy: at-eye-level when seated (best); 45-degree angle when standing (acceptable); flat on table (lowest); freestanding A-frame outperforms flat by 3-5× tap-rate."
    },
    {
      "question": "How do FTC + state-board compliance rules apply to tabletop prompts?",
      "answer": "FTC 16 CFR Part 465 (effective 21 October 2024) prohibits review-gating, incentivising reviews, AI-generated reviews, suppressing negative reviews — applies to all tabletop prompts regardless of vertical (penalty up to $51,744 per violation). Compliant prompt language: 'If you enjoyed your visit, please share on Google' (passive + truthful + non-incentivised + all-customers-asked); avoid 'Loved your meal? Tap for 5 stars' (gating language). Google Business Profile review policy prohibits review-gating + incentivisation; violation triggers GBP suspension. HIPAA Marketing Rule (medical / dental / pharmacy verticals) — tabletop tent must not display PHI; generic 'Share your visit' qualifies for face-to-face + promotional-gift-of-nominal-value exception under 45 CFR § 164.508. AMA + ADA + state medical/dental boards require truthful + non-deceptive language. State cosmetology board (salon + spa + med-spa) adds state-by-state restrictions. State pharmacy board + cannabis state regulators (California BCC, Colorado MED, Washington WSLCB) add vertical-specific compliance overlays. EU Omnibus Directive 2019/2161 + CRFA + state false-advertising laws apply. Multi-state operators must layer state-specific compliance + lowest-common-denominator corporate language."

    {
      "question": "What's the reorder cycle and procurement leverage for multi-location chains?",
      "answer": "Tabletop tent lifecycle 6-18 months for restaurant (food spillage + handling); 12-24 months for spa / clinic (cleaner environment); 12-36 months for hotel (low traffic, cleaning-resistant). Replacement reserve 5-15% per year for damage / wear / loss / theft (higher in restaurant + bar than spa + clinic). Per-location count: small venue 5-15 tents; mid-size restaurant / spa 20-50 tents; large hotel / coffee chain location 50-200 tents. Multi-location chain (50-5,000 locations × 20-50 tents) = 1K-250K tents at scale. Procurement leverage: corporate bulk procurement (10K-1M+ tents annually) yields $0.15-$0.60 per tent at scale; multi-year + cross-brand contract 10-20% discount. Brand-refresh trigger drives full-estate reorder 12-18 months typical. SKU consolidation: 3-5 strategic tent designs covering 90% of placements (casual A-frame + premium folded card + reusable lucite holder + counter sticker + premium wood/metal). Reference deployments: Cava Group, Chipotle, Sweetgreen, Shake Shack, Starbucks, Marriott Bonvoy lobby tents, Hilton Honors lobby tents."
