Building customer loyalty is challenging, to say the least, but if your goal is motivating guests to visit more often and spend more when they do, then learning how to create a restaurant loyalty program is essential. Because guests aren’t all the same, the ways they want to interact with your brand will vary.
Before you start creating a loyalty program to boost incremental visits and revenue, there are four key areas to address:
First, consider the type of rewards program that will resonate with your guests. This is unique to each restaurant and is influenced by your brand concept, menu, server interactions, and business needs.
Keeping those factors in mind, you can then begin outlining your restaurant loyalty app, which consists of three main elements:
By considering each of these three elements, you will be able to structure your loyalty program in a way that appeals to your guests. A fast-casual restaurant wanting to increase visits may choose a core program of visit frequency that includes birthday rewards and promotions like double points and visit challenges.
Meanwhile, a restaurant looking to build relationships may opt for a core program of bankable points layered with limited-time offers and surprise-and-delight rewards. Aligning your program with your business goals and your customers’ behavior will provide the best results.
