Turn One-Time Customers into Loyal Regulars

Acquiring a new customer costs 5 to 7 times more than retaining an existing one. QwikEat gives you loyalty programs, customer data, and CRM tools so you can bring customers back without paying marketplace acquisition fees every time.

Why most restaurants lose customers they have already won

A customer orders from your restaurant and enjoys the meal. Three days later, they open a delivery app and see your competitors first. They order elsewhere, not because your food was bad, but because you had no way to remind them you exist. This cycle repeats daily across thousands of restaurants that rely entirely on marketplaces for visibility.

The root problem is lack of customer data. When orders come through UberEats or Deliveroo, you never see the customer's email or phone number. You cannot send a follow-up offer, a birthday discount, or a new menu announcement. Every reorder requires the customer to find you again on the marketplace, and you compete with every other restaurant for their attention each time.

QwikEat solves this by giving you full ownership of every customer who orders through your direct channel. You get names, emails, order history, and spending patterns. Combined with built-in loyalty programs and coupon tools, you have everything you need to bring customers back consistently and profitably.

Customer database with order history

Every direct order builds your customer list. See who ordered, what they ordered, how much they spent, and when. Identify your best customers and spot those who have not ordered recently so you can re-engage them.

Loyalty program builder

Create stamp cards (buy 9, get 1 free), point-based rewards, or spending milestones. Customers see their loyalty progress when they order, which motivates them to come back and complete their reward cycle.

Coupon and discount system

Generate unique coupon codes for specific occasions: first direct order discount, birthday offers, win-back coupons for inactive customers, or seasonal promotions. Track redemption rates to see what works.

Customer segmentation

Group customers by behavior: frequent orderers, high spenders, lapsed customers, first-time buyers. Each segment responds to different offers. Target high spenders with exclusive previews; target lapsed customers with a comeback discount.

Order frequency analytics

Track how often customers reorder, what their average time between orders is, and which customers are at risk of churning. These metrics tell you exactly when and how to intervene to keep customers active.

Branded experience that builds recognition

Every order happens on your branded page with your logo, colors, and menu design. This repeated brand exposure builds familiarity and preference. Customers remember your restaurant, not the platform they found you on.

Build your retention engine in three steps

1

Capture customer data from day one

Launch your QwikEat ordering page and start accepting direct orders. Every customer who orders is automatically added to your database with their contact details and order history. No manual data entry required.

2

Activate your loyalty program

Choose a loyalty format: stamp card, points, or spending tiers. Set the reward structure (for example, 1 point per euro spent, free item at 50 points). Customers see their loyalty status every time they order.

3

Re-engage with targeted offers

Use your customer data to send timely, relevant promotions. A win-back coupon to customers who have not ordered in 30 days. A birthday discount to celebrate them. A new menu announcement to your most engaged customers.

Retention tools included in every plan

Loyalty programs, coupons, customer database, and analytics are included on both the Flexible plan (1 euro per order, no monthly fee) and the Basic plan (29 euros per month, 0.25 euros per order). You do not need an expensive CRM add-on or third-party loyalty app.

FAQ

How does QwikEat's loyalty program compare to marketplace loyalty?
Marketplace loyalty programs (like Deliveroo Plus) benefit the platform, not your restaurant. Customers earn rewards for ordering on the marketplace, which keeps them loyal to the platform, not to you. QwikEat's loyalty program is tied to your restaurant. Customers earn and redeem rewards specifically with you, which drives repeat orders to your direct channel.
Can I see which customers have stopped ordering?
Yes. Your customer dashboard shows order recency for each customer. You can filter by last order date to identify customers who have not ordered in 14, 30, or 60 days. These are your re-engagement targets for win-back campaigns.
What kind of loyalty program works best for restaurants?
Stamp cards (order 9 times, get the 10th free) are the most popular for quick-service restaurants because they are simple for customers to understand. Point-based systems work well for full-service restaurants with higher tickets because they reward spending amount rather than just order frequency.
Do customers need to create an account to join the loyalty program?
Customers provide their name and email when placing an order, which automatically enrolls them in your loyalty program. There is no separate signup flow. The process is seamless and does not add friction to the ordering experience.
Can I export my customer data?
Yes. You can export your full customer list including names, emails, order history, and loyalty balances. The data belongs to you, not to QwikEat. You can use it with external email marketing tools, CRM software, or for any other purpose.
