Café loyalty system

The coffee card that never gets left at home.

Paper coffee cards are famously forgotten: they end up in coat pockets, handbags and bins. Taployalty replaces the paper card with a branded digital stamp card that saves to your customer's Apple Wallet or Google Wallet, so every coffee they buy moves them visibly closer to their free one — and every visit starts with your card on their lock screen.

What Taployalty does for cafés

We design and set up a branded digital loyalty card for your café. Customers join in seconds by scanning your QR code at the counter or tapping your NFC tag, and the card saves directly to their phone's wallet. There is no customer app to download and no plastic to carry.

You choose how the card earns: a stamp per coffee, a stamp per visit, or points against spend. From your dashboard you can send push notifications about new pastries or seasonal drinks, invite Google reviews, and run referrals on higher plans.

How your customers join and use rewards

The whole point of a café card is that it works at counter speed. So joining and stamping both take seconds.

  1. 01

    Scan the QR code at the counter

    A first-time customer scans the QR code on your counter display with their phone camera. Their branded café card opens straight away.

  2. 02

    Save it to their wallet

    One tap saves the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. The next time they walk past, the card can appear on their lock screen as a quiet reminder.

  3. 03

    Collect stamps, claim the reward

    Every visit earns a stamp. When the card fills up, the customer claims their free coffee or chosen reward on their next visit, and a fresh card starts automatically.

What your baristas actually do

Your team is already working flat out at peak times. The Taployalty workflow fits into the seconds between orders.

  1. 01

    One tap per drink

    The barista opens the Taployalty scanner app and taps once to add the customer's stamp. The customer can show the card's QR from their wallet, or staff can scan it in a moment.

  2. 02

    No change to how you take payment

    Customers pay as they always have. Stamping happens after payment, so your queue never slows down for loyalty.

  3. 03

    Rewards handled at the till point

    When someone claims their free coffee, the barista marks it redeemed in the scanner app. The card resets and the next cycle begins — no hole punches, no paper trail.

Reward ideas for cafés

You set the structure. These examples show the formats café owners most often pick to illustrate the range.

Illustrative examples only

  • The classic coffee card

    A stamp per hot drink with a free coffee after nine or ten — the digital version of the card your customers already expect.

  • Food and drink combined

    A stamp per visit rather than per item, so customers who bring a laptop and order lunch earn towards a reward too.

  • Points for spend

    A points card that rewards how much customers spend, suited to cafés with a broad food and retail range.

  • Digital gift cards

    A branded gift card customers can send to friends, introducing new people to your café.

These are illustrative examples only. You choose the stamps, thresholds and rewards to suit your prices and margins, and we configure the card with you.

Frequently asked questions

Does the customer need an app?

No. They scan your QR code or tap your NFC tag and the card saves to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Nothing to download.

How is this better than a paper coffee card?

A paper card gets forgotten; a wallet card does not. It lives on the customer's phone, can appear on their lock screen, cannot be lost or forged, and gives you a way to message customers who joined.

What happens if a customer changes phone?

They simply scan your QR code again and rejoin with the same details, so their stamps and history carry over rather than being lost with the old handset.

How long does setup take?

Send us your logo and brand colours and we build your branded card. You get a QR code, a printable counter display and a short staff guide.

What does it cost?

The Start plan covers a single loyalty card, with Grow and Business plans adding more cards and features such as referrals. There is a 14-day free trial with no credit card required — pricing is in the pricing section.

Can we run a stamp double promotion?

Yes. You can adjust how the card earns from your dashboard, which makes promotions such as double-stamp days straightforward.
