Digital stamp card for Cafés

Guests come back. Via QR code or NFC at the counter, effortlessly. Just scan, collect stamps, visit your café.

What is a digital stamp card for cafés?

A digital stamp card replaces the paper card: guests collect stamps via QR code or NFC at the counter, you see who comes back and who needs a reminder. No paper, no lost cards, GDPR-compliant.

The problem

Why don't guests come back?

Empty café in the afternoon — symbol of absent guests
Sophie runs a Café in München. Felix came a flat white every morning, sometimes an afternoon cappuccino too, 4× a week at €5.50 each. Then they disappeared. Sophie didn't notice – one lost regular = around €1,000 revenue per year simply gone.
5–25×
more a new customer costs than an existing one
+95%
more profit from 5% more loyal customers
  • 180 regulars per week — and Sophie doesn't have a single phone number
  • Felix was gone for three months, that's ~€264 in lost revenue that nobody won back
  • Paper cards get lost, the loyalty effect fizzles out
  • No way to ask whether a regular moved away or switched to the competition
The solution

Stempely gives your Café a digital memory.

Your guests collect digital stamps via QR code or NFC. You see who comes, who returns and who needs a reminder. Automatically.

How it works

3 steps to more loyal customers

1

The stamp comes with the coffee

When ordering, hold the phone up to the QR code at the counter — 2 seconds, before the coffee is ready. No password, no app registration. Stamping becomes part of the ritual.

2

No stamp card that nobody has on them

No forgetting, no "I left it at home". The stamp is instantly on the guest's phone, safe and always with them — even if the guest comes every day.

3

The 10th coffee is on the house

After 10 stamps your guest can redeem their free coffee directly — no voucher, no slip, automatically. Or whatever you want to treat your regulars to.

★★★★★

stempely has noticeably increased our number of regulars. The automatic reminders work better than any discount campaign.

★★★★★

On the first day eight guests scanned the QR code. Since then Tuesday mornings have been running at full steam — the win-back pushes bring me more than any social media campaign.

My customers love the digital stamp. And I love the win-back campaigns, they bring real guests back, not just Instagram clicks.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is it worth it for a café when a coffee only costs €3–6?+
Especially with low daily revenue it is worth it, because café guests come daily or several times a week. A regular who comes 4× a week and spends €5.50 each time brings over €1,140 in revenue per year. Losing them to the café around the corner is a silent cost you never see — until months later the morning shift gets quieter. Stempely automatically reminds inactive guests via push notification after 14 days, before they stay away for good.
How does stamping at the till work?+
The guest downloads the free Stempely app once, that takes 30 seconds. On each visit they scan your QR code at the till or hold their phone to the NFC card on the counter. No account, no registration, no data entry. The stamp runs immediately, even during the busy morning rush without any delay.
Can I decide for myself how many stamps for which reward?+
Completely. 10 visits = 1 free coffee? Or 5 visits = 10% off the next purchase? You configure it once in your dashboard and Stempely runs it automatically for every guest. Changes take effect immediately, no technical knowledge required.
What about seasonal offers like Christmas specials or summer promotions?+
No problem. You can create flash promotions at any time, e.g. "Double stamps on every Pumpkin Spice Latte this week". The push notification goes out automatically to all regulars. This lets you use seasonal moments deliberately to generate more visits.
What does Stempely cost for a café?+
You start for free: no credit card, no minimum term, no hidden booking fees. Per month the Premium plan at 9,99 € is cheaper than three latte macchiatos for the sibling bar next door – and a single regular brought back by a win-back push pays for the annual subscription. Premium also includes contactless NFC stamps for the counter, worthwhile with more than 60 stamps per day.
Do my guests need to install an app?+
Yes, but in a café context this is no barrier: most guests wait 1–2 minutes for their cappuccino anyway, and in that time the Stempely app is downloaded and the first stamp is done. No sign-up, no email verification – on the first scan it starts immediately. Experience from pilot cafés: around 7 out of 10 first-time guests follow the prompt at the counter display on the same day.
What if my guests don't have a smartphone?+
Among 18–60-year-old café-goers, the smartphone rate in Germany is above 90% – café regulars tend to be among the strongest app users (orders via Wolt/Lieferando, mobile payment). Anyone who still doesn't have one with them gets the stamp from you with a click from the dashboard – without you needing to ask the guest for a name or number.
Is Stempely GDPR-compliant — even without me having a data protection officer?+
Yes. Café guests leave neither name, email nor phone number — they register anonymously through the app. You store no personal data at the counter, need no consent forms at the till, no newsletter list and no cookie banners for the stamp card. This means your café automatically meets the GDPR requirements — an advantage over the mailing list that many cafés used to maintain.
