Ditch the Paper Punch Card. Your Regulars Deserve Better.
YanoClub replaces paper loyalty cards with digital stamps and points your customers can check on their phone. Then it automatically sends them WhatsApp reminders to come back for that free coffee they've earned.
Digital Stamp Card Example
6/9 stamps — 3 more for a free coffee

The Cafe Retention Problem
Your Best Customers Are Invisible to You
The customer who orders a cappuccino every morning has given you thousands of dirhams over the years. You don't know their name, their birthday, or when they last visited. When they switch to the new place down the street, you won't even notice.
Paper Cards Get Lost
Research shows 54% of customers have lost a paper loyalty card. When they can't redeem a reward they earned, they feel cheated — not rewarded. A digital stamp card is always on their phone.
Customers Disappear Without Warning
A regular who misses one week usually misses the next. Without a system to detect this, you can't reach out before they're gone for good. YanoClub's win-back automation catches this automatically.
The Daily Rhythm
Four Moments That Decide If They Come Back Tomorrow
A cafe lives on frequency. These are the points in a normal day where a regular is either created or lost.
The first visit
A new face orders a flat white and leaves. Unless something captures them in those ninety seconds at the counter, you have no way to reach them again.
The morning habit
By the fourth or fifth visit they are a regular. Stamps make that habit visible to them — and give them a reason to walk past the other place.
The quiet afternoon
Between two and four the room is empty. A message to members nearby, with a reason to drop in, fills seats that were going to stay empty.
The week they vanish
Regulars rarely announce that they have left. When someone who came daily misses a week, that is the moment to reach out, not a month later.
Built For Cafes
Rewards That Suit a Daily Trade
Coffee is a high-frequency, low-ticket business. These are the programmes that fit that pattern.
Digital Stamp Card
The classic buy-nine-get-one, without the paper card that ends up in a washing machine. Progress lives on the phone and cannot be lost.
Points on Spend
Better for food and retail bags than for a single espresso. Run it alongside stamps so breakfast and beans both count.
Off-Peak Double Stamps
Move demand into your quiet hours by making them worth more, instead of discounting the coffee itself.
Birthday Free Drink
Collected at sign-up and sent automatically. People rarely come alone for a birthday coffee.
Refer a Friend
Regulars introduce the people they meet for coffee. A two-sided reward makes that worth doing and lets you see who does it.
Google Review Requests
Ask after a good visit, not at random. For a neighbourhood cafe, the review count is what brings in the next stranger.
Everything You Need
One Platform. Every Loyalty Feature.
YanoClub packages the tools that enterprise loyalty platforms charge thousands for — into one affordable, easy-to-use platform.
Reward Points
Award points for every purchase, visit, or action. Configure earn rates per AED, INR, or any currency. Points never expire unless you set them to.
Cashback Rewards
Return a percentage of spend directly to a customer's digital wallet. Cashback drives immediate repeat visits — customers want to spend what they earned.
Digital Wallet
Each customer gets a branded digital wallet showing their balance, transaction history, and available rewards — no app download required.
Membership Tiers
Create Gold, Silver, and Bronze tiers. Top-tier members get better earn rates, exclusive offers, and VIP treatment — making them feel special enough to never leave.
Digital Stamp Cards
Replace paper punch cards with digital stamp cards. Set any milestone — "Buy 9 coffees, get the 10th free" — and watch completion rates soar vs paper.
Referral Rewards
Turn customers into your sales team. Issue unique referral codes, reward both the referrer and referee, and track every referral automatically through your dashboard.
Birthday & Anniversary Rewards
Automatically send personalized WhatsApp birthday greetings with a bonus reward. Customers who feel celebrated become customers for life.
WhatsApp Marketing
Send targeted campaigns to your loyalty members via WhatsApp. Segment by tier, spend, or inactivity. 98% open rates — 5× better than email.
Analytics Dashboard
See exactly which customers are your biggest spenders, which campaigns drove revenue, and which members are at risk of churning — all in real time.
Campaign Management
Schedule WhatsApp broadcasts, set spend-triggered offers, and create time-limited flash deals — all from the same campaign dashboard your team already uses.
Customer Segmentation
Group customers by spend tier, visit frequency, location, or last activity. Send the right offer to the right person — not the same blast to everyone.
Smart Automation
Set triggers once — welcome messages, win-back campaigns after 30 days of inactivity, tier upgrades, expiry reminders — and YanoClub runs them 24/7 for you.

Your First Month
Your First Month Running a Cafe Loyalty Program
No long rollout, no new hardware. Here is what the first four weeks usually look like behind the counter.
Put the QR on the counter
Set your stamp goal — nine coffees, tenth free — print the QR and place it by the till. Baristas learn it in one shift: the customer scans, the stamp lands.
Let the regulars enrol themselves
Your morning regulars join first because they visit most. Each sign-up gives you a name, a mobile number and a birthday you never had before.
Send the first WhatsApp offer
Pick a slow afternoon and message members a double-stamp window. You are messaging people who already like your coffee, not strangers.
Turn on win-back and birthdays
Set automation to message anyone who has not visited in 14 days, and to send a free drink on birthdays. From here it runs without you.
Every step above is configured from your YanoClub dashboard. Nothing here needs a developer or a POS upgrade.
