3 minFrequently Asked Questions
▸How do I improve repeat visits?
Keep customer records, recognise regulars with consistent hospitality, then use reminders and a light loyalty mechanic to give them a reason to return — keeping a regular costs far less than winning a new guest.
▸Do small restaurants need a loyalty program?
Yes, but it needn't be complex. Start by simply remembering who the guest is and what they ordered last time — turning booking data into a customer profile often beats a points card.
