Loyalty for restaurant groups that live and die by the fourth visit.

Dine-in, takeaway, drive-thru and the aggregators — one member, one balance, across every channel and every brand in your group. Built with people who know what 8pm on a Thursday looks like.

What usually goes wrong in F&B loyalty

We've inherited enough stalled programmes to know the pattern. It's rarely the technology.

The reward is too far away

Eleven visits for a free coffee. Nobody gets there, so nobody starts. We design a first win inside two weeks, then keep the ladder visible.

The till is the bottleneck

If enrolling costs the cashier forty seconds at peak, it won't happen. Enrolment has to take one tap, or one scan on the receipt afterwards.

Delivery orders vanish

A third of your volume goes through aggregators and never touches your CRM. We match those orders back to the member so the balance is complete.

How we work with a restaurant group

We start in your P&L, not your app

Two weeks with your commercial team and a month of transaction data. We find out what a marginal visit is actually worth, which dayparts are soft, and how much margin a point can safely cost. You get a model showing the earn rate, expected breakage and the visit uplift needed to break even — before anyone commits to a launch date.

We connect the tills first

Your POS keeps working exactly as it does — it just starts emitting loyalty events. We integrate dine-in, takeaway, drive-thru, your own app and the delivery aggregators, so item-level data flows in and a member's balance is the same whichever door they came through. Kitchen and floor workflows don't change.

We design the mechanics around your dayparts

Double points on weekday lunch to fill the quiet hours. A streak that rewards the third visit in a month. Item-level offers that push the high-margin side rather than discounting the hero dish. Tiers that unlock things that cost you little and feel like a lot — priority seating, a chef's tasting, early access to a new opening.

We pilot one site, then roll out

One outlet goes live first with a trained floor team and a simple script. We watch enrolment rate per shift, fix the friction, then roll across the estate — usually a handful of sites a week. Staff get a leaderboard for sign-ups, because the programme only works if the person at the till believes in it.

After launch

What actually changes once it's live

Not "engagement". Specific things you'll notice in the first two quarters.

You finally know who your regulars are

Named customers instead of covers. You can see that 8% of members drive a quarter of revenue — and speak to them directly for the first time.

Quiet shifts get busier

Targeted bonus points move demand into weekday lunch and late afternoon instead of discounting the hours that were already full.

Lapsing customers come back

A member who hasn't visited in six weeks triggers an automated nudge with a reason to return — measured against a holdout so you know it worked.

You depend less on the aggregators

Points are worth more ordering direct. Over a few quarters that moves real volume off 25–30% commission and onto your own channel.

New openings launch warm

A new site opens to a list of members who already live within three kilometres, instead of to whoever walks past in week one.

Marketing stops guessing

Every campaign runs against a control group, so "the promotion worked" becomes a number rather than an argument.

What we connect to

Pre-built connectors for the systems most F&B groups already run, plus a REST API for anything bespoke.
