## Summary

Easy Loyalty moves the punch 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

### What's the best alternative to paper punch cards for restaurants?

A digital pass in Apple Wallet or Google Wallet. It never gets lost, looks like a premium branded card, and you can change the colours or logo later without reprinting anything. For restaurants, where diners don't carry a card for every restaurant they like, so paper programs stall after one visit, that alone removes most of the friction.

### Do I need design skills to make the pass look good?

No. You upload a logo, pick a background, text and label colour, and optionally a strip or hero image. The live preview shows exactly what customers will see on iPhone and Android before you publish.

### Can I change the design after customers have added the pass?

Yes. Save a new design in the dashboard and every Apple Wallet pass is refreshed in the background; Google Wallet passes update the next time they sync. No reissuing, no new QR codes.

### 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.
