2 earning rules active

  • Automatic earning on every order

    Points accrue from direct orders and the channels you enable—rates and tiers stay under your rules, without spreadsheets or manual reconciliation.

  • Rewards guests actually want

    Redeem for discounts, free items, or experiences. Clear tiers and balances reduce friction at checkout and keep your brand top of mind.

  • One profile across touchpoints

    The same member identity powers web, app, and in-store flows—so campaigns, ordering, and loyalty reinforce each other instead of living in silos.

Why loyalty belongs in your stack

Loyalty only works when it's effortless—for the guest and for you. Because Menuella's points live on the same profile as ordering and check-in, every order and visit earns automatically, with no punch cards to lose or tallies to keep. That single profile shows you who your regulars are, rewards them the moment they qualify, and wins back the ones who drift—all from the platform that already runs your restaurant.

Points that feel effortless to earn

Guests see balance and progress in context—before they pay, before they redeem, and when you nudge them back. You set the economics; Menuella keeps the experience coherent across channels.

Common questions

How do customers earn loyalty points?

Guests earn points on qualifying orders based on rules you configure—typically a rate per currency unit spent, with optional bonuses for channels or campaigns. Earning runs in the background so staff do not need to remember manual codes at the till.

Can I customize point values and reward tiers?

Yes. You define earning rates, tier thresholds, and what can be redeemed. Many venues start simple and refine tiers as they see which rewards drive repeat visits.

How do redemptions work for guests?

Guests redeem from your catalog when they have enough points. Menuella keeps balances and eligibility in sync across the surfaces you use—so the same member sees a consistent total whether they order online or in-store, depending on your setup.

Does loyalty work with Menuella ordering and my branded channels?

Loyalty is designed to sit alongside Menuella ordering and your guest-facing experiences. The goal is one member profile and one points balance where your product setup supports it—reducing duplicate accounts and confusion.

Can I see performance and member activity in the dashboard?

You can monitor members, redemptions, and trends in Menuella so you can adjust rewards and campaigns. Exact metrics depend on your plan and integrations, but the system is built to make program health visible without manual tallying.

Turn First-Time Diners Into Regulars

A digital loyalty program turns first-time diners into regulars — points accrue automatically on orders and check-ins, no plastic punch card.

Restaurant Guest Retention: the Complete Guide

The most expensive order is the first — every one after it is almost pure profit. This guide shows how restaurants turn first-time guests into regulars: owning guest data, your own loyalty programme, predictive retention, automated win-backs and gift cards — all on a channel you control.

Digital Sovereignty: Away From Marketplace Stamp Cards

A stamp card inside someone else’s app isn’t loyalty — it belongs to the app. Digital sovereignty means owning the guest data, the offer logic and the redemption yourself: the foundation of every real repeat visit, without renting your guests out to a platform.
