Multi-location brands manage every store under one account, with per-store roles and network-wide analytics on the Franchise plan.
Fast food loyalty program examples
Six ways quick-service restaurants set up their card. The math below is an illustration with round numbers, so use your own menu prices.
Points card
Points on every order
1 point per $1 spent, free fries at 60 points.
A $3.50 side for every $60 spent is roughly a 6% reward rate, and bigger orders earn faster.
Stamp card
Burger stamp card
Buy 7 burgers, get the 8th free.
One in eight is a 12.5% reward rate on that item. At a $9 burger, you give away $9 for every $63 of paid sales.
Coupon
First-order drink
A free drink on the first order after saving the card.
The cost is one drink, and it gets the card into the customer's wallet on the first visit.
Membership
Lunch club
Tag weekday lunch regulars as members.
Members are the ones you message first when a new lunch combo launches.
Discount
Off-peak member offer
A member-only percentage off in the mid-afternoon lull.
Use it to smooth out demand, and switch it off whenever the counter is busy.
Gift card
Digital gift card
Customers load credit and send it to a friend.
Easy to give, and the recipient gets the card in their own wallet.

Step 1

Step 2
Set the reward
Choose the points-to-reward ratio and the free item, for example free fries at 60 points.
