Loyalty Rewards for the Restaurant Industry

by: philipjackson on Date: Thu, 7 Apr 2011 Time: 8:42 AM

One sure way to extend customer satisfaction in restaurants is through loyalty reward offers. In this line of business, the sole purpose of having loyalty programs is to increase their loyal customer’s time inside the restaurant by ordering more food and for them to dine in the establishment repeatedly. The frequency of visits and the increase in food orders are advantages in having restaurant loyalty programs.

Unlike other loyalty programs that offer discounted prices, restaurant loyalty programs are more focused on the quality of food experience customers can get for their money. By offering good food for less, restaurants would definitely get a great number of repeat customers. Since the target market for restaurants is smaller than that of airlines, for example, offering loyalty programs can make restaurant goers feel special. Being part of a privileged few might be enough to get a customer through the restaurant door many times over.

Restaurants that are only at the beginning stages of their loyalty programs should consider great introductory strategies for the reward arrangements. Perhaps it can be initially incorporated into a food establishment’s delivery services as a test run. Should it meet success in that front, then the program can be applied across the restaurant’s service board. In all loyalty offers, however, it must always be remembered that the quality of the food is of utmost importance.

The people eligible for a restaurant’s loyalty rewards should be offered a variety of tasty, savory, and satisfying treats that are hard to forget. Besides making the food delicious, restaurants should always offer something new and different. It would be better to offer varying rewards depending on the season or celebration, if there is any.

As with all customers included in a loyalty rewards program, the closer they are to their goal, the more they can be expected to dine in the restaurant. It is recommended for restaurant managers to make do without rewards that are impossible to obtain, such as giving a free meal after one hundred times of dining.

When it comes to maintaining a successful loyalty rewards program, it is best that restaurants provide concrete evidence of their customer’s progress when it comes to their accumulated points.
