Loyalty that brings café customers back.

A digital stamp card that gives regulars a reason to choose an independent café over the chain on the corner every morning, with no paper card in sight.

Café

Sound familiar?

Paper cards go missing

Paper cards get lost, washed, left in the car or quietly “topped up” with a borrowed stamp. Much of the loyalty they hold ends up in the bin.

The chains have an app

The big coffee chains run polished loyalty apps. Many independents still rely on a rubber stamp in a drawer, and customers notice the difference.

No time in the rush

At 8:15 there is no time to find a card or a stamp. Anything that slows the queue gets skipped.

No record of regulars

The faces are familiar, but not how often each one visits, or who has quietly stopped coming in.

Loyalty ideas for cafés

Ways owners use StampMate: the card, the promotions that bring customers back, and the stamp at the till.

Stamp card

A free coffee on a full card

A card of 4 to 10 stamps, with a free coffee as the reward. A simple format customers understand at a glance.

Stamp card

A shorter card for bigger rewards

A 6-stamp card that ends in a free brunch or a bag of beans, for customers who already spend more.

Notifications

Fill the quiet afternoon

A promotion such as “half-price cake with any coffee until 4pm”, sent at 2pm to every customer’s lock screen.

Proximity

Reach regulars walking past

A lock-screen alert when a regular walks by the café, with a custom message such as “Fresh pastries just out of the oven”. On Growth.

Prize wheel

Coffee, cake or lunch

A full card becomes a prize draw: free coffee most of the time, a slice of cake now and then, and a free lunch as the top prize. On Growth.

At the till

Stamped in one tap

The StampMate stamp sits by the card machine. Customers tap it with their phone after paying, so the queue keeps moving.

Set up in an afternoon

  1. Design the card

    Choose a template or start from scratch, then add a logo, a reward and the number of stamps it takes.

  2. Put the stand out

    The free countertop stand shows customers how to join. The card goes into Apple Wallet or Google Wallet with a name and mobile number.

  3. Stamp every visit

    Customers tap the StampMate stamp at the till with their phone, and the card updates on the spot. A full card resets to 0 when the reward is handed over.

Questions owners ask

Will it slow down my queue?

No. One tap on the StampMate stamp adds the stamp, which is quicker than finding a paper card.

Can I use it for food as well as coffee?

Yes. A stamp is a stamp: the business decides what earns one and how the reward is worded.

I have more than one café. Can I use it at both?

Multi-location set-ups are arranged directly with the StampMate team. Get in touch for details.

Do customers have to give me their email?

No. Customers join with a name and mobile number only.
