Restaurant loyalty system

Turn first visits into standing bookings.

Most restaurants spend heavily to attract a diner once, then let them walk out without a reason to return. Taployalty fixes that with a branded digital loyalty card that lives in your guest's Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Every visit earns a stamp, every stamp brings them closer to a reward, and every reward is a reason to book your table again instead of the place next door.

What Taployalty does for restaurants

Taployalty designs and sets up your branded digital loyalty card. Guests scan your QR code or tap your NFC tag, and the card saves straight to their phone's wallet. There is no customer app to download and nothing for your front-of-house team to learn beyond a single tap.

From your dashboard you choose how the card works: a classic stamp card, a points card, or a reward that unlocks after a set number of visits. You can send push notifications to guests who have joined, invite reviews after a meal, and run a referral programme depending on your plan.

How your guests join and use rewards

Joining takes seconds and happens at the table, which is exactly why guests actually do it.

  1. 01

    Scan or tap to join

    Your QR code sits on the table, the menu or the bill presenter. The guest scans it with their phone camera or taps your NFC tag, and their branded card appears on screen.

  2. 02

    The card saves to their wallet

    One tap saves the card to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. From then on it appears on their lock screen when they are near your restaurant, so they are reminded of you without you doing anything.

  3. 03

    Visits earn stamps, stamps earn rewards

    Each visit earns a stamp on the card. When the card is complete, the guest claims their reward on a future visit — a free dish, a discount or whatever you have chosen to offer.

What your staff actually do

Front-of-house teams are busy. The Taployalty workflow is designed to take seconds, not minutes.

  1. 01

    One tap per visit

    Your staff open the Taployalty scanner app and tap once to add the guest's stamp. There is no till integration, no manual data entry and no card to sign.

  2. 02

    No new payment process

    Guests pay exactly as they always have — cash, card or contactless. Loyalty is stamped after the transaction, so nothing changes about your service flow.

  3. 03

    Rewards redeemed at the table

    When a guest claims a reward, staff mark it redeemed in the same scanner app. The full history stays on the guest's card, so there is no argument about what they are owed.

Reward ideas for restaurants

You decide the structure; here are examples other restaurants commonly choose to illustrate what is possible.

Illustrative examples only

  • Stamp card for regulars

    A stamp per main course, with a free main after ten stamps — the digital version of the paper card, without the paper.

  • Dessert or drink reward

    A lower-threshold reward such as a free dessert or glass of wine after five visits, which suits guests who order light.

  • Points on spend

    A points card that accrues with spend rather than visits, which suits restaurants with a wide range of bill sizes.

  • Gift cards for gifting

    A branded digital gift card guests can buy for friends and family, bringing new faces through your door.

These are illustrative examples only. You choose the visits, thresholds and rewards that suit your menu and margins, and we set the card up with you.

What is included

Every restaurant plan includes the core digital loyalty card; the features below are part of the product you can switch on.

  • Digital wallet cards

    Branded cards that live in Apple Wallet and Google Wallet — always on the guest's phone, never left at home.

  • QR and NFC joining

    Guests join by scanning a QR code or tapping an NFC tag. No forms, no app store.

  • No app download

    Your guests never install anything. The card saves directly to the wallet already on their phone.

  • Push notifications

    Send a message to guests who have joined your card — a midweek offer, a seasonal menu, a quiet-night promotion.

  • Review collection

    Invite guests to leave a Google review with a push notification you control.

  • Referral programme

    On the Grow plan and above, guests can refer friends, turning your regulars into a source of new bookings.

Frequently asked questions

Do my guests need to download an app?

No. Guests scan your QR code or tap your NFC tag and the card saves straight to Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. Nothing to download, nothing to register.

Will this work with our booking and till systems?

Taployalty does not depend on your till or booking system. Staff stamp visits in the Taployalty scanner app after the transaction, so it works alongside whatever you already use.

How long does setup take?

You send us your logo and brand colours and we set up your branded card for you. You then receive your QR code, a ready-to-print table display and a short guide for staff.

What does it cost?

Plans start with the Start plan for 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, and full pricing is on our pricing section.

Can we change the reward later?

Yes. You can adjust thresholds, rewards and the number of stamps from your dashboard, so the card can evolve with your menu and seasons.

Is there a contract?

No. Plans are monthly, with no lock-in, and you can cancel with 30 days' notice.
