Café loyalty that staff will actually run

Cafés invented the stamp card. Digitise it without lengthening the queue.

8 min readVuelvis

In a café, speed wins. If stamping takes longer than pulling the shot, the programme dies at peak.

A rule that works

  • 8–10 stamps → free everyday drink
  • One bar phrase, every shift
  • Off-peak campaigns without changing base price

Frequently asked questions

Stamp per coffee or by spend?
Per visit/coffee is simpler at the bar. Spend-based fits when tickets vary a lot.
Drinks-only rewards?
Start there—clear margin and fast redeem. Add food once the habit sticks.
Where should the QR live?
Where eyes already go: till, pastry case or menu holder.
