Your restaurant loyalty card, right on your guests' phones

What really matters for a restaurant: the second visit

In restaurants, loyalty is won early: a guest who comes back a second, then a third time becomes a regular; one who doesn't return within the month is probably lost to the place next door. The lever isn't getting people to spend more at the table, it's getting them to come back more often: a guest who goes from 1 to 2 visits a month, at a €25 average check, is €300 more per year, from a single guest.

A paper punch card works poorly here: visits are too far apart, so it gets forgotten or lost in between. A card in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet is always there, shows the points balance, and can remind your guest that the free dessert isn't far off.

What a wallet loyalty card changes for a restaurant

• Points that follow the check. 1 point per euro: Saturday's table of four earns more than a solo lunch, which makes sense and the guest can see it.
• One second at checkout. The guest shows their card, you scan the QR code from the nacard app when you bring the check or at the counter. Service doesn't slow down.
• Slow evenings fill up. An event ticket "free dessert on Tuesday nights" goes to your regulars' wallets and reminds them to stop by. You choose the time slot, the duration, the audience.
• You spot your real regulars. Who comes every week, who hasn't been back in a month: you know, and you can act before they become someone else's regular.
• It works for takeout too. Pizzeria, counter service: the QR code at the counter is enough, same cards, same scan.

What reward works for a restaurant?

• Free dessert at 300 points. Reached in 3 to 4 visits for a table of two: quick, visible, and the cost to you is small compared to the check.
• €25 off at 500 points. For a more upscale bistro: money off the check speaks to everyone.
• The 10th pizza free (stamps). The simple format that works for takeout: readable at a glance, same logic as the paper card, minus the paper.

Keep one rule, readable on the card. You can change it anytime, without reprinting anything.

Set up in 3 minutes, between services

Start from the restaurant or pizzeria template, write your reward, add a photo of your dining room or a dish, and print the QR code for the counter or the check presenter. Your guests scan, the card joins their wallet, and you scan their QR code at checkout from the very next service. The 5 steps are on the how it works page, the general principle in the digital loyalty card guide, and prices on the pricing page.
