Build a Daily Coffee Habit — Not Just a Habit Habit
Blinko turns occasional visitors into daily regulars with digital stamp cards and AI win-backs that run in the background — all managed from your phone.
Sound familiar?
These are the challenges coffee shops face every day. Blinko solves all of them.
Morning crowd, then crickets
You're slammed 6-9am, then traffic drops. You need a way to fill the mid-morning and afternoon slump.
Digital stamp cards nobody uses
Customers don't want to download another app just for coffee. QR-based loyalty actually works.
Instagram marketing doesn't drive visits
Beautiful latte photos get engagement but don't translate to foot traffic from your existing base.
You can't identify or reward regulars
Your best customers are invisible. Without tracking, you can't reward them or reach them when you need to drive traffic.

No signup, no email, no account — just one QR scan. Customers who already have the free Blinko app connect instantly; new ones do a quick one-time free download.
How much does Blinko cost?
expand_more
Blinko has a free plan that stays free forever. Paid plans start at $19/month (Indie) with a 15-day trial — no credit card required.
How long does setup take?
expand_more
Most businesses go live in under 10 minutes — print your QR sticker, configure your first stamp card or welcome offer, and you are running.
Will I lose my customers if I switch from Square or Toast?
expand_more
No. Blinko sits alongside your existing POS — you keep your payment flow and just add the loyalty layer on top.
What kind of businesses use Blinko?
expand_more
Cafes, restaurants, nail salons, barbershops, retail shops, gyms, churches, yoga instructors, food trucks, and any business with repeat customers — including solo professionals without a fixed location.
Can I run a refer-a-friend campaign in Blinko?
expand_more
Yes. Blinko's referral campaigns let your existing customers invite friends with a personalized QR coupon — both the referrer and the new customer earn a reward when the friend makes their first purchase.
Does my customer have to download an app to refer their friend?
expand_more
No. Customers share the referral coupon directly via iMessage, WhatsApp, or any messaging app. The friend who receives it sees the offer instantly in the link preview, and only installs Blinko if they want to claim the reward.

How to Get More Repeat Customers at Your Auto Service Center
Most auto service shops lose repeat customers not because of poor work but because nothing keeps them connected between visits. Here's what actually builds a returning client base for oil change and tune-up shops.
Oil Change Loyalty Programs: How Independent Shops Win Against the Chains
Jiffy Lube has an app. Valvoline has a membership. What does an independent quick lube or oil change shop have? A relationship — and a loyalty program without an app that the chains can't replicate.
