Guest retention for restaurants & cafés

One-time diners are expensive. Doloyal turns them into regulars with visit-based rewards, birthday treats, and re-order nudges.

Everything you need, nothing you don't

Visit-based rewards

Digital punch cards on WhatsApp — no app install, no friction at the counter.

Table-side upsells

Staff see each guest's tier and spend to offer the perfect upgrade or dessert.

Dormant guest rescue

AI re-engages guests who haven't visited in 60 days with a tailored offer.

Common retention challenges for restaurants & cafés

Anonymous diners

Most guests pay and leave without you knowing who they are.

Discount dependence

Aggregator discounts bring orders but not loyal guests.

Uneven weeks

Weekends are packed while Monday to Thursday stay slow.

Occasions missed

Birthdays and anniversaries are perfect reasons to visit, but nobody reminds the guest.

Restaurants grow when guests come back for the next occasion, not only the first one. Doloyal gives restaurants points-based loyalty at billing, birthday and anniversary treats, and messages that bring regulars back on quieter days.
