No credit card required
Still Using Paper Loyalty Cards?
Wallets Are Already Full
Customers don't want another card in their wallet. Paper loyalty cards get buried, bent, or thrown away before they're ever completed.
Slow to Process
Finding the right stamp, inking it, and handing it back takes time at the till. Digital scanning takes a second and keeps the queue moving.
No Insight Into Dining Habits
Paper cards can't tell you who your regulars are, how often they visit, or when they stopped coming. You're guessing, not knowing.
Wasteful Printing
Reprinting cards regularly wastes money and materials. Going digital is better for your margins and the environment.
