Abstract
Systems, methods and computer-readable media facilitate consumer reviews of employees that are on duty at the time a receipt is printed. A code is printed on a receipt provided to the consumer where the code includes data representing the employees that are working when the receipt is printed. A review site receives the data encoded on the receipt. The review site retrieves descriptive data (name, picture, position etc.) for the on-duty employees identified by the code on the receipt. The review site presents the descriptive data along with a review user interface.
