Restaurant loyalty programs
A restaurant loyalty program rewards repeat guests to drive return visits — Goboblo runs it with digital stamp cards and wallet coupons tied to your bookings.

What a restaurant loyalty program does
A restaurant loyalty program rewards guests for coming back. Done well, it turns a one-off diner into a regular — and a regular into your most profitable, lowest-cost source of covers. Goboblo runs the whole loop digitally, with no plastic cards and no separate app for the guest to download.
Because every reward, coupon, and reminder is tied to one guest profile, the program reacts to what guests actually do — not to a generic email blast.
Digital stamp cards
The stamp card lives in the guest's phone wallet. It can never be lost, updates the moment a visit is recorded, and can push a reminder straight to the lock screen when a reward is close. That immediacy is what keeps a program alive instead of forgotten in a drawer.
Wallet coupons and lunch coupons
Targeted coupons bring guests in on the days you need them. A lunch coupon aimed at a quiet Tuesday fills tables that would otherwise sit empty — delivered as a wallet coupon that lands in the same wallet as the stamp card, not a forgotten inbox.
Drive repeat visits and guest retention
Retention is cheaper than acquisition. A guest who comes back twice a month is worth far more over a year than a one-off deal-chaser — yet most restaurants pour their budget into new faces and let the regulars drift. We think that's the wrong end to spend on. Goboblo tracks visit frequency and spend per guest, then triggers the right nudge at the right moment: a reward nearing completion, a win-back when a regular hasn't shown in six weeks, a thank-you after a big table.
Connect loyalty to bookings — the part no one else does
Most loyalty tools sit in a silo, blind to whether a guest actually showed up. Goboblo connects loyalty to the reservation software directly: a completed booking stamps the pass, and loyalty status can shape how you treat the next booking. Booking × loyalty in one system is the moat.
What a good program looks like
The programs people cite, like Starbucks Rewards and Chipotle Rewards, work because they are effortless to join, instantly visible, and rewarding early. Goboblo brings that mechanic to independent restaurants without the enterprise budget.

Frequently asked questions
How do you build a restaurant loyalty program?
Start simple: a digital stamp card guests keep in their phone wallet, a clear reward, and reminders that bring them back. Our guide on building a restaurant loyalty program walks through it step by step.
Do digital stamp cards actually work?
Yes — a wallet stamp card removes the lost-punch-card problem, updates instantly when a guest visits, and can push a reminder to the lock screen.
What does it cost?
Loyalty is part of the Goboblo platform; you can start free and upgrade as your guest list grows. See pricing.
How does it drive repeat visits?
Every visit is recorded against one guest profile, so rewards, coupons, and reminders are timed to actual behaviour instead of guesswork.
