Why restaurants choose Loyalstack

Restaurant loyalty program examples
Six ways restaurants and brunch spots set up their card. The math below is an illustration with round numbers, so use your own check sizes.
Stamp card
Brunch club
Get a stamp at every brunch visit, the 9th brunch main is free.
One free in nine is an 11% reward rate. At a $22 brunch check, you give away $22 for every $176 of paid meals.
Points card
Points on the bill
1 point per $1 spent, a free dessert at 100 points.
An $8 dessert for every $100 spent is an 8% reward rate, and it rewards the guests who order the most.
Membership
Dining tiers
Silver, Gold and Platinum tiers based on visits or spend.
Tiers let you thank your best guests first, for example by inviting Gold members to a tasting night.
Coupon
Starter with a main
A free starter with any main course, for returning guests.
A coupon costs one starter and gives guests a reason to come back within the week.
Discount
Members' weekday offer
A member-only percentage off on quiet weekday lunches.
Use it to fill slow shifts rather than as a permanent offer, and change it whenever you like.
Gift card
Digital dining gift card
Guests load credit and send it to a friend.
Popular around holidays, and the card sits in the recipient's wallet ready for their first visit.

Launch your restaurant loyalty card in 4 steps
Step 1
Design the card
Add your logo and restaurant colors and pick a points, stamp or membership card.
Step 2
Set the reward
Decide what guests earn, for example a free dessert at 100 points, and keep it easy to explain at the table.
Step 3
Share the QR code
Put the QR poster near the host stand and on table cards, and share the link on your socials. Guests scan once to save.
Step 4
Scan when the bill is paid
Staff scan the guest's card with the browser-based scanner on a phone or tablet to add points or a stamp.
Push message ideas for a restaurant
Push messages appear on the lock screen through the wallet card. You write and send each one yourself, to all guests or to a segment such as guests who have not visited recently.
