The days of keeping - or losing - heaps of coffee loyalty cards in wallets and pockets are gone, says Hamilton-based, civil engineer-turned-coffee maestro Hendrik van Blerk.
With technology developed by Hendrik and his team at smartcoffeecard, keeping a record of client loyalty is quick, easy and simple.
There are
plans to take the technology New Zealand-wide.
All loyalty cards can be stored in patrons' telephones. They will register patronage, alert the user to benefits and renew cards when they have been filled. No more missing out on loyalty rewards through lost or misplaced cards.
All loyalty card users have to do is download the free app, for iphones or android, go to their favourite coffee outlet or café and ask if they are using smartcoffeecard. Each café has a unique Q code.
