Digital loyalty card for restaurants: how does it work?
By the Menuthere editorial team · Updated
A digital loyalty card replaces the paper stamp card: the customer collects points or stamps tied to their number or ordering account, and a reward triggers. No app for the customer to install. On Menuthere, loyalty points and "buy X get Y" offers are included on the Pro plan at $39/month, with 0% commission; a printable stamp-card tool is free on /tools. Updated October 2026.
- A digital card collects points or stamps on the customer's ordering account, with no card to lose or forget.
- The customer installs no app: loyalty lives inside your ordering site.
- Menuthere Pro ($39/month) includes loyalty points and "buy X get Y" offers.
- A printable stamp-card tool is free on Menuthere /tools, no account needed.
- 0% commission on every plan; start the channel on Free at $0, 14-day free trial on Pro.
Loyalty built into your orders
On Menuthere Pro, customers collect points on every order on your own site, and you set the rewards and "buy X get Y" offers. No card, no commission: a flat fee and regulars who come back.
How much does a digital loyalty card cost?
On Menuthere, the printable card is free, and built-in loyalty is part of the Pro plan at $39/month, a flat fee, with no per-order commission. You don't pay per reward handed out. Card fees stay with your payment gateway. Lite and Pro have a 14-day free trial.
Who this is a good fit for
- Restaurants, cafés and bakeries already taking orders on their own channel who want to reward returning.
- Owners who want loyalty without a card to reprint or a stamp to find.
- Those who want to try a free paper card before moving to built-in digital loyalty.
Who this is not for
- A place not yet taking online orders: start with the site and menu, then add loyalty.
- An owner who wants a standalone branded loyalty app for the customer; Menuthere builds loyalty into ordering, not as a separate app below the Branded App plan.
Common follow-up questions
Does the customer need to install an app for loyalty?
No. Menuthere loyalty lives in your ordering site: the customer collects points by ordering, with nothing to install. A branded app for the customer exists only on the Branded App plan, separately.
Can I start with a free paper card?
Yes. The loyalty stamp-card tool is free and needs no account. You then move to digital loyalty built into orders on the Pro plan whenever you like.
Is there a commission on rewards?
No. Menuthere takes 0% commission on every plan. Loyalty is part of the Pro plan at $39/month, however many rewards you hand out.

How does a digital loyalty card work?
Instead of a hand-stamped card, the customer collects points or stamps tied to their ordering account or number. Each order on your channel bumps the counter, and a reward triggers at the threshold you set. On Menuthere Pro, it all happens in your ordering site, with no app for the customer to install.
