Bar Loyalty Programs to Boost Your Business

At WhosOut, we understand that repeat customers are the cornerstone of any successful bar or restaurant. Leveraging our platform, bars can easily establish and manage loyalty programs by simply providing their merchant ID. Our system handles the rest, allowing you to focus on serving your customers. Imagine offering your patrons a deal like "Spend $1000, get $50"—all seamlessly managed through our technology.

Maintain Consistency

Consistency is critical for fostering customer loyalty. Regular patrons are the foundation of your business and should be treated with the utmost respect. This means providing consistent service and product quality, standardizing recipes, and maintaining routine operations. When making changes to your menu or operations, ensure they are implemented with care and communicated effectively to both staff and customers. Repeat customers will spend up to 67% more than new guests.

Engage with Customers

Engage with your customers beyond their visits. Utilize social media platforms to build and maintain relationships with patrons. Active engagement keeps your bar top of mind and fosters a sense of community. Additionally, direct marketing efforts like mailers can remind local patrons of your presence and encourage visits, especially when paired with exclusive perks or coupons.

Support the Local Community

Supporting your local community reinforces customer loyalty. Source ingredients locally or participate in local events to show that your establishment is a valued part of the community. Highlighting local products on your menu and participating in community events can attract customers who prefer to support local businesses. 79% of consumers say that loyalty programs make them more likely to continue doing business with brands.

Enhance Customer Visibility

Ensure your staff can see and attend to every customer. A well-designed layout and attentive service can make every guest feel special. Recognizing regulars and making them feel valued enhances their loyalty. Simple gestures like greeting them by name or remembering their favorite orders can make a big difference.

Offer Freebies

Offering occasional freebies can significantly enhance customer loyalty. While it should not be overdone, the occasional free drink or appetizer can make customers feel appreciated and encourage them to return. The cost of a freebie is a small investment in long-term loyalty and repeat business.

Implement a Loyalty Program

Loyalty programs can transform occasional visitors into regular patrons. These programs offer rewards for frequent visits or spending thresholds, such as discounts, exclusive menu items, or free products. Modern POS systems make managing loyalty programs easy, and statistics show that they are highly effective in retaining customers and boosting repeat business. At WhosOut, we make it simple for you to implement and manage these programs, driving customer loyalty and increasing your bottom line.
