Nobody downloads an app to come back to a café.

Loyalty apps work for chains with a marketing team and a reason to open the app every week. For a local shop, the download is where most of your customers leave.

When an app is the right answer

If you run twenty-plus locations, sell online as much as in store, and have someone whose job is to fill an app with reasons to open it, an app can carry more than a card can: ordering, payment, content. For a single shop or a small group, the card does the loyalty job without the download, and a till integration is on our roadmap.
