Turn first-time visitors into daily regulars
Blinko turns first-timers into daily regulars — loyalty, welcome offers, and AI win-backs that run themselves, all from one app on your phone.
Sound familiar?
These are the challenges cafes & coffee shops face every day. Blinko solves all of them.
Morning rush, then silence
You're busy for 2 hours, then empty. You need a way to fill slow periods.
Punch cards get lost
Paper loyalty cards end up in the laundry. Digital ones nobody downloads.
Instagram doesn't drive visits
Beautiful latte art posts get likes but don't translate to foot traffic.
You don't know your regulars
Your best customers are invisible — you can't reward them if you can't track them.

How it works
Get up and running in minutes — no technical skills needed.
Set up your QR code
Create your cafe profile and generate your unique QR code in under 3 minutes.
Customers scan & follow
Display your QR code at the counter. Customers scan to follow your cafe and start earning.
Watch loyalty grow
Track visits, reward regulars, and bring back lapsed customers — all automatically.
“We went from guessing who our regulars were to knowing exactly who visits, how often, and what brings them back.”

Questions, answered.
The things cafes & coffee shops ask before they sign up.
Do my customers need to download an app to collect stamps?
expand_more
No signup, no email, no account — just one scan at the counter. Customers who already have the free Blinko app connect instantly; new ones do a quick one-time free download.
How do I fill the gap between the morning rush and lunch?
expand_more
Send a Drop — a time-limited offer that lands on your followers’ phones. "Any pastry half price before 11am today" goes out in seconds, and only to people who already chose to follow your cafe.
What happens when a customer loses their paper punch card?
expand_more
Nothing to lose. The stamp card lives in the customer’s Blinko app, so their progress travels with them. You set how many stamps earn the reward and what the reward is.
Do I have to change how I take payments?
expand_more
No. Blinko sits alongside your existing register — Square, Toast, Clover, or anything else. You keep your payment flow and add the loyalty layer on top.
