Solution
When the visit is personal, the rating should be too
In a salon, a clinic or a service centre the experience belongs to a named person. A badge QR gives that person their own staff login, and every rating that comes through it is attributed to them.
It is a choice, not a fee for badges: a business that does not want per-person ratings keeps one login, prints as many codes as it likes and reads the centre as a whole.

What a service business gets
Long appointments produce detailed opinions, and almost none of them currently reach the owner.
A name on the rating
Five specialists with their own ratings is five staff logins. The business decides whether that visibility is worth the line on the invoice.
The waiting room
A code at reception or on the table in the waiting area catches the people who leave without saying anything to anyone.
Private detail
Medical and personal-care complaints are not things anyone wants to publish. The private channel is the one they will actually use.
A fair public step
The public listing is still offered to everyone identically, which matters more in fields where reviews decide who calls you.
Worth knowing
Contact details only if the client offers them
Leaving a phone number or a messenger handle is optional, ticked explicitly, and used for that one piece of feedback and nothing else. It is deleted after about 90 days.
That matters most here. A clinic that wants to call somebody back can do it when the person asked to be called back — and a clinic that does not collect the number cannot be asked to justify holding it.
The private channel also accepts photo and video. In service businesses that is usually how a complaint becomes specific enough to resolve.
Common questions
What happens to a customer's phone number?
It is only there if the customer chose to leave it and ticked the consent box. It covers that one piece of feedback — no newsletters, no other messages — and it is deleted after about 90 days.
Can customers attach photos or video?
Yes, on the private channel. Text, a photo or a video goes straight to the manager, which is what makes a complaint about a dish, a pump or a waiting room actionable. Attachments are never mandatory and nothing blocks a customer who only taps a rating.
Next step
Start at reception, then decide about badges
One code at the desk tells you whether there is anything to hear. Per-person attribution is a decision you make afterwards.
