For café owners

Start a café loyalty program that brings regulars back

A loyalty program gives first-timers a reason to return — and regulars a reason to choose you over the café next door. Chup is a free stamp-and-reward program for coffee shops and food & drink businesses: set your reward, pick a stamp goal, and launch it in minutes from your phone.

Free to run · 155+ cafés already running one on Chup.

The basics

What is a café loyalty program?

A café loyalty program rewards customers for coming back. The classic version is a stamp card — buy a coffee, get a stamp; collect enough and a reward unlocks. It works because it gives people a small, visible goal to return for. Chup runs that program digitally: the stamps and rewards live on the customer's phone, and you manage the whole thing without paper, hardware or a separate till.

How to start

Launch your loyalty program in three steps

STEP 1

Choose your reward

Pick something customers actually want — a free coffee, a pastry, a discount. Add an early treat to hook newcomers before the big reward.

STEP 2

Set the stamp goal

Decide how many stamps earn each reward. Reachable enough to feel close, generous enough to be worth coming back for.

STEP 3

Launch & invite customers

Put your QR on the counter and start stamping. Every visit adds a stamp and nudges the next one.

What makes it work

Tips for a loyalty program that sticks

Make the first reward reachable

An early win keeps a first-timer coming back while the habit forms — don't make reward one feel far away.

Reward something they love

The reward should be worth a detour. A free version of your best seller beats a token discount.

Know your regulars

Chup shows who's returning and which rewards land, so you can tune the program instead of guessing.

Keep it effortless

One quick scan per visit. The less your team has to think about it, the more consistently it runs.

Who it's for

For coffee shops & every kind of F&B

A loyalty program isn't just for coffee — it fits anywhere people come back for something they love.
