Loyal Aura

Restaurants, bars & food trucks

A restaurant loyalty program for small business, right in your guests' wallet

Give guests a meal card they add in one tap from a QR on the table or the receipt. Start with a ready restaurant recipe, scan the card when they pay, and reach them on slow nights with a message on their lock screen.

The repeat-visit problem

Why guests don't come back as often as they could

Most guests liked the meal. They just have no reminder and no reason to pick you next time.

  • Delivery apps keep the customer

    An order through a delivery app leaves you with no way to invite that guest back. A wallet card collects a name and, if the guest agrees, a phone number and birthday.

  • Slow nights stay slow

    Tuesday is quiet and you have no list to tell. A push to the cards in your guests' wallets reaches the lock screen without an inbox in the way.

  • Discounts buy one visit

    A one-off coupon brings one visit. A card that counts toward a free meal gives the guest a reason to choose you again.

Built for your business

Bars and food trucks

Bars and food trucks get their own recipes at signup. A food truck's card stays in the customer's wallet wherever you park, and a push can tell cardholders where you are today. Add a spin-the-wheel game on a table QR for a reason to play while they wait.

Spin-the-wheel promotion for restaurants
  • Bar: buy 9 drinks, get the 10th free, or 6 stamps for a free cocktail
  • Bar points: 1 point per $1 spent, 200 points = a free cocktail
  • Food truck: your 8th meal is on us, or 5 stamps for a free side

How it works

Set up between lunch and dinner service

    Choose a free 10th meal, a free dessert after 6 visits, or points per dollar spent. Add your logo and colors.

  2. 2

    Put the QR on tables and receipts

    Guests scan it at the table and add the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet before the check arrives.

    Scan when guests pay

    Your server scans the card with the Loyal Aura Scanner on a phone or tablet. For points, they enter the amount spent.

FAQ

Restaurant loyalty questions

Book a demo
Do guests need to download an app?
No. They scan the QR on the table or receipt and add the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet in one tap.
How much does a restaurant loyalty program cost?
Plans are monthly with no contract, and every price is on our pricing page. Loyalty Starter covers one stamp or points card at one location. Loyalty Growth adds coupon and gift cards, segments, the automated messages and up to 3 locations. Games are an add-on. Every account starts with a free trial.
Can guests earn by what they spend instead of by visit?
Yes. The points recipe gives 1 point per dollar spent and a free dessert at 200 points. Staff record the amount when they scan the card.
Does it work for takeout orders?
Yes, for orders picked up in person: scan the card at pickup. Orders placed through third-party delivery apps never reach your scanner, so they don't earn stamps on their own.
Can I send a promotion for a slow night?
Yes. Send a push to everyone who has your card, or on Loyalty Growth and up to a segment such as guests who haven't visited in a while. It shows on their lock screen.
