Pub & bar loyalty system
Make the local round a habit worth rewarding.
Pub and bar trade lives on repeat custom: the after-work pint, the weekend food order, the quiz-night crowd. Taployalty gives you a branded digital loyalty card that lives in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and rewards those return visits. Guests join by scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC tag, and every visit earns them something on their next one.

What Taployalty does for pubs and bars
We design and set up a branded digital loyalty card for your venue. Guests scan your QR code on the bar top, table talker or menu and the card saves straight to their phone's wallet. No customer app, no membership forms, no plastic cards behind the bar.
You decide what earns and what rewards it: stamps per visit, stamps on food orders, or points against spend. From your dashboard you can send push notifications about event nights, invite Google reviews, and run a referral programme on higher plans.
How your guests join and use rewards
Pub service is fast and social. Joining has to happen in the time it takes to pull a pint, and with Taployalty it does.
- 01
Scan or tap at the bar
The guest scans the QR code from your bar display or taps the NFC tag with their phone. Their branded card opens immediately, ready to save.
- 02
The card saves to their wallet
One tap adds it to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. From then on it is on their phone whenever they are nearby — including the next time they are deciding where to drink.
- 03
Return visits build rewards
Each qualifying visit earns a stamp. A full card unlocks the guest's reward on a future visit, which is exactly the behaviour a pub wants: come back, then come back again.
What your staff actually do
Bar staff cannot run a loyalty scheme that slows service. The Taployalty workflow is a single tap.
- 01
One tap per visit
Staff open the Taployalty scanner app and tap once to stamp the guest's visit. The whole action takes seconds, even mid-service.
- 02
Food and drink both count
You set what qualifies — any visit, food orders only, or a spend threshold — and staff stamp the same way regardless of what was ordered.
- 03
Rewards redeemed across the bar
When a guest claims a reward, staff mark it redeemed in the scanner app. The guest's history stays on their card, so there is no dispute at a busy bar.
Reward ideas for pubs and bars
These examples illustrate the formats publicans most often choose. You set the actual terms to suit your margins.
Illustrative examples only
Round reward
A stamp per visit, with the reward unlocking on a future visit — for example a free drink or money off the next round.
Food-first card
Stamps on food orders, rewarding the midweek meal crowd and nudging drinkers towards your kitchen.
Points on spend
A points card that reflects how much guests spend across the bar and kitchen, suited to venues with mixed trade.
Event-night perks
Combine the card with push notifications to fill quiet nights — a reward linked to quiz night or an off-peak evening.
These are illustrative examples only. Reward thresholds and venues' terms are yours to set, and we configure the card with you. All rewards must be redeemed in venue, responsibly and in line with licensing law.

Frequently asked questions
Do guests need to download anything?
No. They scan your QR code or tap your NFC tag and the card saves to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet directly.
Can we reward food and drinks differently?
Yes. You define what qualifies for a stamp or points — any visit, food orders, or spend thresholds — and staff stamp the same way in every case.
Will it slow the bar down?
No. Stamping is one tap in the scanner app per visit, and it happens after payment, so it never interrupts service.
How long does setup take?
Send us your logo and brand colours and we build your branded card, with a QR code, printable bar display and 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.
Is this suitable for a small village pub?
Yes. The system works for venues of any size, and a single-card plan is often enough for a village or community pub.
