A loyalty program your staff can run during the lunch rush
Restaurants have two completely different customers — the table that books twice a year for an anniversary, and the person who eats lunch within four hundred metres of their desk every weekday. A stamp card is aimed squarely at the second, and it has to survive a service where nobody has a spare hand.

Servers are already carrying plates, a card machine and someone's dietary requirement in their head. This adds nothing to that load — the QR code sits on a screen by the till and the customer scans it themselves on the way past, so it does not compete with service.
Works across a shift change
Paper schemes depend on whoever is on the floor remembering the rules. Here the rules are in the card itself, so the person covering the last hour of lunch applies exactly the same scheme as the person who opened, with no handover and nothing to explain to a new starter.
Aimed at weekday lunch, not the anniversary table
You can run a card that only makes sense for frequent visits — ten lunches earns one — without touching your evening pricing or offering a discount to people who were coming anyway. The scheme is invisible to the customers it is not for.
The customer this is actually for
Weekday lunch is the most habitual meal there is. Someone working nearby will eat out somewhere between two and five times a week for years, and they are choosing between a handful of places within walking distance. They are not comparing quality every day; they are running on default.
A stamp card is a cheap way to be the default. Ten lunches for a free one is around a 10% discount to a customer who is already high-frequency, and nothing at all to the ones who are not.
Why this does not touch your EPOS
Most restaurant loyalty products want to sit inside your point of sale, which means an integration, a compatibility matrix, and a thing that breaks when either side updates. It also means the scheme is only as reliable as that connection.
This is deliberately outside all of it. The kiosk is a web page showing a QR code that refreshes every thirty seconds; the customer’s phone opens another web page. Your till does not know it exists, which is why there is nothing to install, no integration to certify, and no reason for it to stop working on a Friday night.
Running it through a busy service
- One screen, by the till. Everyone walks past it, and it needs no attention.
- Customers scan themselves. Staff never handle a phone or press a button.
- Two-minute undo. For when the wrong person scans a code meant for the table behind them.
- Manual credit from the dashboard. For the regular who forgot, so the manager can fix it without anyone waiting.
Cost
$29/month for the site, flat. Unlimited covers, unlimited stamps, no per-scan fee — so a full Saturday costs the same as a quiet Monday. Multiple restaurants are separate accounts, with bulk pricing from three.
The questions everyone asks
Does this need to connect to my till or EPOS?
No, and that is deliberate. Nothing integrates with your point of sale, so there is no compatibility question, no vendor to call and nothing to break when your EPOS updates. Stamping is a separate, self-contained action on the customer's own phone.
Where do I put the QR code in a restaurant?
Wherever customers pause. Most put it on a screen by the till or the card machine, since everyone passes it on the way out. Table stickers do not work as well, because each code expires after thirty seconds — a printed one would be dead on arrival.
Can I stop it being used on discounted covers?
You control what earns a stamp, and stamping is a deliberate action rather than something triggered automatically by a transaction. If a table is already on a set menu or a voucher, nobody scans, and no stamp is credited.
What if a customer claims they were not stamped?
They can see their own card on their phone immediately after scanning, so disputes usually resolve themselves on the spot. If a stamp genuinely went to the wrong person, there is a two-minute undo from either side and you can credit one manually from the dashboard.
