Cafés – loyalty card in Apple and Google Wallet

Why a paper card isn't enough for a café

A café runs on repeat visits. A guest who gets used to coming in for a morning coffee will bring you many times more over a year than a random passer-by. A loyalty program is the cheapest way to support that habit. Keeping an existing guest is up to 25× cheaper than finding a new one.

But a paper stamp card reliably fails: the guest loses it, leaves it at home or it gets damp in their pocket. And even if they have it, you have no way to remind them. Once they leave the café, you lose contact with them.

Walio puts a loyalty card straight into the guest's Apple or Google Wallet, next to their boarding passes and tickets. They'll never lose it, their phone reminds them at the right moment, and you get your own guest database you can message with a single tap: “second coffee free today”.

How the loyalty program works in a café

  1. 1. Choose a reward that pays off

    The classic works best: every 10th coffee free. The reward costs you a few cents in ingredients, but the guest sees it as worth about €2 to €3 (provisional). In the wizard you set the number of stamps and the reward text in a few minutes.

  2. 2. Hand out the card via a QR code

    Print a QR code for the till or the table. The guest scans it with their camera and has the card in Apple or Google Wallet. No app to download, no registration, done in seconds.

  3. 3. Stamp on every visit

    Your staff scans the guest's card from a phone or a paired tablet and the stamp is added instantly. No reader and no changes to your till, you can handle it even during the morning rush.

  4. 4. Bring guests back

    When a guest hasn't been in for a week, Walio sends a reminder on its own. With a single tap you can also send an offer like “second coffee free today” straight to the lock screen. Regulars then come in more often.

What Walio brings a café

Built around how a café actually works: fast service, regulars, the morning rush.

  • A stamp in seconds at the till Your staff scans the guest's QR code from a phone or tablet and the stamp is added. No reader, no slowdown during the rush.
  • A 10th coffee free that the guest won't lose The stamp card is in the phone, not the wallet. The guest sees how much is left to the reward and comes back to complete it.
  • Remind them right before their coffee A push message lands on the lock screen just as the guest is deciding where to go. “Second coffee free today” brings people in the same day.
  • Bring back guests who haven't been in for a week Anyone who hasn't shown up for a while gets a friendly “drop by” on their own. You don't lift a finger, they come back.
  • See how many regulars you have In the overview you see how many cards were added, who returns and what loyalty actually brought you in money.
  • Works for a single café or a chain Start with one venue. As you grow, add more under one account with no new setup.
