Built for Coffee Shops

Build a Daily Coffee Habit — Not Just a Habit Habit

Blinko helps coffee shops turn occasional visitors into daily regulars with digital stamp cards, automated win-back campaigns, and smart re-engagement — no customer app needed.

Sound familiar?

These are the challenges coffee shops face every day. Blinko solves all of them.

trending_down

Morning crowd, then crickets

You're slammed 6-9am, then traffic drops. You need a way to fill the mid-morning and afternoon slump.

loyalty

Digital stamp cards nobody uses

Customers don't want to download another app just for coffee. QR-based loyalty actually works.

money_off

Instagram marketing doesn't drive visits

Beautiful latte photos get engagement but don't translate to foot traffic from your existing base.

group_off

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.

Questions, answered.

The things coffee shops ask before they sign up.

Do my customers need to download an app?

expand_more

No. Blinko is the only loyalty platform where customers follow a business with a single QR scan — no app install, no signup, no email required.

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 30-day free 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 followers 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. Followers 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.

Marketing Copilot

Working in the background, so you don't have to.

While you're serving customers, Blinko is watching your visit patterns and quietly doing the marketing work — so your regulars keep coming back without you lifting a finger.

person_search

Spots who's drifting away

Blinko automatically identifies customers who haven't visited in a while — before they forget you exist.

send

Sends the right nudge at the right time

A perfectly timed offer goes out automatically. No scheduling, no copywriting, no thinking required.

insights

Gets smarter with every visit

Every check-in teaches Blinko more about your customers. Over time it fine-tunes who to reach and when — so results keep improving on their own.

Set it up once. Blinko runs it from there.
