Loyalty programme for cafes
Digital Loyalty Cards for Cafes
Paper stamp cards get lost, damaged, and forgotten. TapStamp replaces them with a tap. Your customers hold their phone to the NFC pod on your counter, collect a digital stamp, and earn rewards. Simple, fast, and built for UK cafes.
Why paper loyalty cards don't work for cafes
Sound familiar? These are the problems TapStamp solves.
Paper cards get lost
Customers lose paper stamp cards constantly. They never have it when they need it, so your loyalty programme goes to waste.
No way to track regulars
With paper cards you have no idea how often people visit, who your best customers are, or whether your loyalty scheme is actually working.
Stamps can be faked
Anyone can stamp a paper card themselves. There is no way to verify that stamps are genuine, and it costs you free drinks.
No way to bring people back
Paper cards are passive. You cannot send a message or offer to remind someone to pop in for their morning coffee.
How TapStamp works for cafes
Three steps. No complicated setup. Go live the same day.
Customer taps the NFC pod
After they buy a coffee, the customer holds their phone to your countertop NFC pod. One tap, done.
Stamp collected instantly
A digital stamp is added to their card in the TapStamp app. They can see their progress towards the reward at any time.
Reward unlocked
Buy 9 coffees, get 1 free. The customer redeems their reward in-app and starts collecting again.
