## Summary

Easy Loyalty moves the loyalty card into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet and lets restaurants run it as a digital stamp card (one stamp per visit, a full card unlocks a reward) or as cashback (a percentage of every purchase lands on the pass instantly). No customer app; your server or host scans the pass at the counter.

## Why restaurants switch from paper

For restaurants, diners don't carry a card for every restaurant they like, so paper programs stall after one visit. A wallet pass is always on the phone, updates itself, and every scan is recorded.

## Worked cashback example

A regular spends about $55 per visit and comes in 2 times a month. At 5% cashback:

- Earned per visit: $2.75
- Earned per year: $66
- Annual revenue the program protects: $1,320

Typical purchases: dinner for two, a weekday lunch, takeaway on a busy night.

## Example lock-screen message

**Tuesday tables** — Quiet Tuesday ahead — dine in tonight and earn double cashback on your bill.

## How to launch

1. Sign up and start the 14-day free trial — no credit card required.
2. Add your restaurant name and logo, then choose stamps (e.g. 10 = a free item) or cashback (e.g. 5%).
3. Design the Apple Wallet and Google Wallet passes with the live preview.
4. Print the QR code for the counter, or share the sign-up link.
5. At checkout, your server or host scans the pass; cashback or stamps are credited instantly.
6. Optional: send lock-screen messages or enable automations (win-back, birthday, reward ready).

## FAQ

### How much does an Apple Wallet loyalty program cost for a restaurant?

A flat monthly subscription with a 14-day free trial — no per-customer fees, no developer, no agency. Apple Wallet certificates, Google Wallet issuer setup and push notifications are all handled for you.

### Do I need a developer or an Apple Developer account?

No. Easy Loyalty already holds the Apple and Google credentials required to sign passes. You fill in a form with your branding and cashback rate; passes are generated and signed for you.

### Do I need special hardware or a POS integration?

No. Your server or host opens the dashboard on any phone or tablet, scans the customer's pass with the camera (or types the ID), and enters the amount spent. It runs alongside whatever till you use today — there is no POS integration to configure.

### Do my restaurant customers need to download an app?

No. Apple Wallet and Google Wallet are already on every iPhone and Android phone. Customers open your link or scan a QR code, tap “Add”, and the pass sits next to their bank cards. Nothing to install, nothing to remember.

### Stamps or cashback — which should I choose?

Both are built in; you pick per location. A stamp card (e.g. 10 stamps = a free item) is simple and works when every visit is worth about the same. Cashback — many restaurants start around 5% — scales with spend: when your server or host records a $55 purchase, $2.75 lands on the pass to spend next time. You can switch later without reissuing passes.
