Restaurant lunch coupons that earn the next visit
Send the offer to the guest's phone — a code and QR in a simple web view, no app — aim it at the shifts that run light, and log every redemption to a profile you own. Staff redeem at the till: scan the coupon or type in the code.
- Code and QR on the phone — no app
- 0 commission on your guests
- Free until 150 guests use the card
A restaurant lunch coupon is a targeted midday offer you send to fill the half-empty weekday lunch — a free coffee with the main, 15% off on a quiet Tuesday — pointed at guests who would otherwise stay home. Goboblo sends each coupon to the guest's phone with a code and a QR in a simple web view, no app, lets staff redeem it at the till — scan the coupon or type in the code — and records every redemption on a guest profile you own. The coupons sit in the loyalty card that's free until 150 guests use it, with 0 commission on your own guests.
The lunch coupon is one part of your restaurant loyalty program in Goboblo, so the guests it brings in sit on the same profile as your bookings, your stamp cards, and your other offers.

Redeem the coupon — and see what gets recorded
This is the guest's coupon with the demo venue's real values. Press the button as if you were at the till: the coupon is spent, exactly like the real view — and can't be redeemed a second time.
- You build the offer: the value, the time window, and which guests receive it.
- The coupon goes to the guest's phone — a code and QR in the browser, no app.
- At the till, staff scan the coupon or type in the short code — both take a couple of seconds.
- The coupon is checked off instantly and can't be redeemed twice. The visit lands on the guest profile.
Free coffee with your lunch
Today 11 am–2 pm. One per guest.
- The coupon locked the instant it was redeemed — it can't be used again, even if two staff members try at once.
- The visit was recorded on Emma's guest profile — the same profile as her bookings and stamps.
- In the Track view, Redeemed ticked up one, so you see which offers earn their keep.
How do you build a lunch coupon?
A lunch coupon is one thing built from three parts. You fix the value, lock the hours, and choose who receives it — all from the guest data you already keep. The Offers view shows every coupon with sent, saved and redeemed.
- Offer: a free item, a discount, or a drink on the house
- Window: weekdays 11–2 and a last redemption day
- Audience: quiet guests, first-timers, or everyone

-
Free coffee, weekdays 11–2, to guests who've been quiet for 30 days — three choices and the coupon is ready. The audience comes from your own guest register.
-
Each guest gets their own coupon with its own number — as a notification that opens in the phone's browser. No app, no login.
-
The coupon shows the offer, the time window, the code and a QR — and the guest's name. It stays on the phone until it's used or expires.
-
Staff scan the guest's coupon or type in the short code — both take a couple of seconds. The coupon locks instantly and can't be redeemed twice, even if two staff members try at once.
-
The redemption writes to the guest profile the same second — the same profile as bookings and the stamp card. The Track view shows sent, saved, redeemed and the redemption rate per coupon.
-
A coupon with a 28.9% redemption rate gets a follow-up; one that doesn't move guests gets dropped. Automatic sends — we-miss-you and birthday — can run the routine for you.
Which lunch coupons fill the room?
Every redemption is measurable, so you see which lunch coupons pull guests in and drop the ones that don't. The Track view also holds the till's code field: type in the guest's short code whenever scanning doesn't fit.
- Sent, saved, redeemed and redemption rate per coupon
- Redeem by code right in the view — once, never twice
- See which guests redeemed, with the time
What separates a lunch coupon on the phone from a paper voucher?
Both give the guest a reason to come back. Only one tells you who came, when, and how often.
- Printed in advance and handed out over the counter
- Forgotten in a jacket or binned at the register
- No idea who redeemed what
- Easy to copy or use twice
- Sent in minutes, aimed at the right guests
- Arrives as a notification and stays on the phone — no app
- Every redemption recorded on the guest profile
- Checked off instantly, impossible to redeem twice
One system, one guest profile
What operators usually ask
What is a restaurant lunch coupon?
A restaurant lunch coupon is a targeted midday offer — a free coffee with the main, 15% off on a quiet Tuesday, a deal that fires on a second visit. Goboblo delivers it as a wallet coupon tied to one guest profile, never a paper voucher.
Do lunch coupons eat into margin?
Not when you point them at empty seats. A coupon on a Tuesday running 40% full sells a cover you would otherwise lose, so the discount comes off revenue you never had. Redemption tracking shows you which offers actually earn their keep.
Does the guest need an app to use the coupon?
No. The coupon arrives as a notification and opens in the phone's browser — the guest sees their code and QR right away, with nothing to install. It works the same as any other wallet coupon you send: staff redeem it at the till, and the visit writes straight back to the guest's profile in your loyalty program.
Do staff have to scan to redeem a coupon?
No. Staff can scan the guest's coupon or type in the short code shown on it — both take a couple of seconds at the till, so it works even when scanning isn't possible. The coupon is checked off instantly and can only be redeemed once.
How does a lunch coupon turn into a repeat guest?
Every redemption lands on one guest profile. You can then follow up with the next offer — a back-by-Friday coupon, or a stamp toward a free lunch on a digital stamp card — so a single discounted meal grows into a habit instead of a one-off for a deal hunter.
What does Goboblo charge for lunch coupons?
You pay 0 commission per redeemed coupon, so a packed lunch service costs the same as a slow one. Coupons sit in the loyalty card, which is free until 150 guests use it — after that a low fee follows your guest base: $4 a month up to 500 guests, $9 up to 1,500, and $25 above that. Every guest who uses the card counts, and keeps counting — the number only grows. See pricing for the full picture.
