Bink has integrated restaurant booking platform SquareMeal into its digital loyalty offering – giving restaurants a seamless way to connect with their customers, get to know them better and expand their reach.
Thanks to the new integration, Barclays customers can now sign up to SquareMeal Rewards through the Loyalty Cards feature on the Barclays app. The feature, which is powered by Bink, allows customers to collect loyalty points automatically whenever they use their Barclays credit or debit card at participating SquareMeal restaurants.
What is the SquareMeal Rewards programme?
The rewards programme is a simple way for customers to earn rewards for dining out, making restaurant bookings, and leaving restaurant reviews.
The scheme gives operators the ability to entice customers with points-earning offers, and the card-linking technology gives enhanced visibility into customer spend and behaviour. This marketing tool not only helps restaurateurs to fill quieter times, but also builds customer loyalty, encourages repeat visits, and even a greater spend per visit.
How does Bink’s technology work?
Bink’s technology links a customer’s payment cards to participating retailers’ loyalty and customer engagement programmes. This ensures that customers are identified and automatically rewarded every time they shop, eliminating the need to carry around physical loyalty cards.
