Contactless ordering can make a visit easier, but speed alone does not create loyalty. Guests return because the overall experience works for them and because the venue gives them a clear reason to come back.
The loyalty opportunity appears when QR ordering, payment or other guest interactions connect naturally to a rewards programme rather than becoming another separate signup process.
What GlobalTips loyalty actually supports
GlobalTips supports three loyalty models: Levels, Points and Cashback. The venue controls the selected model, rewards and programme settings.
Guests can track loyalty benefits through the optional GlobalTips Guest App or the available web experience. Managers can use guest activity insights in the GlobalTips Dashboard depending on the setup.
Make enrolment part of the guest journey
A loyalty programme is more likely to be used when the guest encounters it inside a familiar interaction such as ordering or payment instead of being sent to a completely separate process.
Keep the value clear: explain what the guest earns, how progress works and how rewards can be used.
Do not promise features that are not part of the product
Contactless ordering does not automatically mean the venue can recognise a returning device, show a one-tap previous order, or run an automated recommendation engine.
If those capabilities are important, they should be evaluated separately rather than implied as a default part of the loyalty experience.
Use loyalty to create a reason to return
- Points. Guests accumulate value that can be redeemed later.
- Cashback. Part of the value returns to the loyalty balance for a future visit.
- Levels. Frequent guests can progress through status levels with benefits configured by the venue.
The best model depends on visit frequency, average spend and what the venue wants to reward.
Measure the programme, not assumptions
Useful metrics include enrolment, active members, redemptions, repeat activity and guest feedback. Use the venue's actual data to decide whether the programme is easy to understand and valuable enough to use.
Why GlobalTips works for repeat visits
Connect a smoother visit with a reason to return. GlobalTips QR ordering reduces friction at the table, while loyalty programmes let guests build points, progress through levels, or earn cashback.
