Digital stamp card for Restaurants

The Wagner family came every other Sunday – until they suddenly stopped. Without a loyalty card you only notice weeks later. With Stempely you would have sent a push before the favourite table went cold.

What is a digital loyalty card for restaurants?

A digital loyalty card replaces the paper card in the restaurant: guests collect stamps via QR code on the menu or NFC at the entrance, you can see which regulars come regularly and which need a reminder. No paper chaos on the tables, no GDPR hassle alongside the reservation system, fully data-protection compliant.

Klaus's 10th visit. Today.

Klaus orders his favourite meal at his regular table. The QR code on the menu is waiting. He scans briefly. No card, no paper chaos.
Congratulations! Your next dessert is on us.

The problem

Why don't guests come back?

Empty regulars table in the restaurant — symbolic image of lost regular guests
Klaus runs a Restaurant in Köln. Familie Wagner came came every other Sunday for lunch. Then they disappeared. Klaus didn't notice – one lost regular = around €1,000 revenue per year simply gone.

How it works

3 steps to more loyal customers

1

At the table – discreetly while waiting

QR code directly on the menu or as a table stand. The guest scans while waiting for the food – no work for the service team, no interruption during dinner.

2

Stamp while the bill arrives

When the service brings the bill, the stamp is already on the phone. No voucher, no loyalty card, no forgetting. Your team has nothing to do.

3

On the 10th evening: redeem dessert directly

Regulars collect quietly – and after 10 visits the guest can redeem their dessert or main course directly. No voucher slip, no question to the service.

💡 Recommendation

Send a weekend special via push

Stempely has noticeably increased our number of regulars. The automatic reminders to inactive guests bring more reservations than any classic discount campaign.

Friday evening, empty tables – push sent. Within an hour we had eight new reservations. My service team didn't notice a thing, it just ran.

★★★★★

Our guests love the digital loyalty card at the table. And we love the win-back messages, they bring real regulars back to the table, not just clicks on Instagram.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does the loyalty card work equally well for lunch and dinner business?+
Yes – the guest collects a stamp on each visit, whether it's the lunch menu or the evening meal. You can even configure different rewards: 5 lunches = 1 free dessert, 10 evening visits = 1 free main course. Stempely doesn't differentiate between times of day, you decide the rules.
Can I advertise daily specials and promotions through Stempely?+
Yes, with the push feature (Premium package). You write a short message like "Today: schnitzel day – double stamps on all lunch dishes" and send it directly to your regulars' phones. No newsletter, no social media algorithm – direct and immediate.
Does Stempely also work for beer gardens or seasonal outdoor dining?+
Absolutely. The QR code can be on table stands, at the bar, or on the menu – indoors and outdoors. Whether it's a winter lounge or a summer garden, the guest scans and collects. No additional equipment needed.
Can my service staff handle this on the side during full operations?+
Your staff don't have to do anything at all. The guest scans the QR code themselves – 3 seconds, done. No stamping, no searching for cards, no holding up the service. The system runs completely without any intervention from your staff.
What does Stempely cost for my restaurant?+
You start free – no credit card and no minimum term. The Premium plan costs 9,99 €/month and brings all marketing features: daily special and weekly pushes to regulars, win-back automation and contactless NFC stamps for the tables at the entrance and exit. With an average spend of €25–35, a single recovered regular per month is enough for Stempely to more than pay for itself.
How does stamping work without the service staff having to learn anything extra?+
The QR code sticks on the table stand or sits next to the menu. The guest scans it themselves – while you pour the aperitif or collect the tip – and installs the app in under 30 seconds. On the next visit a quick tap of the NFC card when coming in is enough. Your service mentions the stamp at most briefly the first time ("See the table stand? – scan once and you collect from today"), after that the system runs completely without intervention.
What if older guests put their phone away during the meal?+
That's exactly what the table stand is for: the guest scans once when coming in, after that the phone can stay in their pocket. Over 90% of people between 18 and 65 use a smartphone today, in the typical restaurant target group even significantly more. If someone really forgot their phone at home, you can add the stamp later from the dashboard – without the guest having to come back.
Is Stempely GDPR-compliant – even alongside table reservations?+
Yes, and both stay cleanly separate. Your OpenTable or Bookatable system saves names and phone numbers for the reservation as before – Stempely doesn't touch this data. The loyalty card works with an anonymous ID on the guest's device; you only see in the dashboard "Guest No. 142, not here for 6 weeks", not the name. This means you don't need to conclude an additional data processing agreement, don't need to merge a reservation book, and don't need to transmit any name to another provider.
