Full-Service Restaurant Loyalty Programs

Ready & Spendgo Partner to Streamline Consumer Experience

— March 10, 2020 — Business
A new type of restaurant loyalty program is coming to full-service dining establishments thanks to a strategic partnership between financial tech company Ready and Spendgo.

The collaboration is intended to infuse "Spendgo's Loyalty and Reward programs directly into the check-out process." This does not only prove to be efficient and beneficial to consumers, but it also streamlines their experience by allowing them "to collect and redeem rewards automatically when paying their check." Thus, customers can scan to accumulate/redeem their rewards at POS.

The full-service loyalty program is app-free and can be easily implemented, which removes a number of barriers—operational and financial—both from the side of the customers and the side of the business itself. This is a move to a more "fully connected [and] elevated dining experience."
