Restaurants – loyalty card in Apple and Google Wallet

Why a one-time guest isn't enough for a restaurant

A restaurant lives on guests who come back. A regular who comes in for the lunch menu or a Friday dinner will bring you many times more over a year than a random passer-by. And keeping an existing guest is up to 25× cheaper than chasing a new one through expensive advertising.

The problem is that once the bill is paid, you lose contact with the guest. You don't know who returns, who stopped coming, or how to invite them back. Flyers and deal sites bring you bargain hunters, not regulars.

Walio puts a loyalty card straight into the guest's Apple or Google Wallet. It collects points or stamps for every visit, you get your own guest database, and with a single tap you send them an invitation to an offer exactly when they're deciding where to go for a meal.

How the loyalty program works in a restaurant

  1. 1. Choose a reward that draws them back

    For example a free dessert after five visits or a discount once a spending threshold is reached. In the wizard you set the number of stamps or points and the reward text in a few minutes.

  2. 2. Hand out the card via a QR code

    Put the QR code on the table, the receipt or a flyer. The guest scans it with their camera and has the card in Apple or Google Wallet. No app to download, done in seconds.

  3. 3. Add points when they pay

    Your staff scans the guest's card from a phone or tablet and the points or stamp are added instantly. No extra hardware, no slowdown at checkout.

  4. 4. Invite guests back

    With a single tap you send an invitation for a slow day or an offer. For inactive guests Walio can send a reminder on its own. The tables fill up even outside peak hours.

What Walio brings a restaurant

Built around how a restaurant actually works: lunch rushes, slow days, regulars.

  • Fill slow days with one message An empty Tuesday? Send guests a push: “free dessert with a main today”. It lands right on the lock screen just as they're deciding where to go for dinner.
  • A reward for spending and for visiting Collect points for spending or stamps for visits, whichever suits you. The guest sees in their phone how much is left to the reward and comes back to complete it.
  • Bring back guests who haven't been in for a while Anyone who hasn't shown up for a month gets a friendly invitation back on their own. You don't lift a finger, they come back for another meal.
  • Remembers celebrations and birthdays A greeting and a small gift go out on their own on the right day. A great excuse to invite the guest to celebrate at your place.
  • No changes to your till No readers and no months-long integrations. Your staff scans the card with a phone or tablet and the points are added. You can handle it even during the lunch rush.
  • See what your guests bring you In the overview you see how many guests return and an estimate of the revenue your loyal guests brought you. No guesswork.

What lands on your customers’ phones from booking to a free dessert.
