Fill more seats, more often
Blinko turns one-time diners into loyal regulars — visit tracking, milestone rewards, and AI win-backs that run in the background while you run the floor, all from your phone.
Sound familiar?
These are the challenges restaurants face every day. Blinko solves all of them.
Empty tables on slow nights
Tuesday and Wednesday are dead — you need a way to drive traffic on off-peak days.
Review sites control your reputation
One bad Yelp review hurts more than 50 great meals. You need a direct channel to customers.
Delivery apps take 30%
Third-party platforms eat your margins. Direct relationships keep the revenue.
No way to recognize regulars
Your best customers deserve VIP treatment but you have no system to identify them.

Questions, answered.
The things restaurants ask before they sign up.
Where should the QR code go in a full-service restaurant?
expand_more
Wherever guests already pause — the host stand, a table tent, or the check presenter. Guests scan once while they wait for the card to run, and they are following you from then on.
How do I drive covers on a slow Tuesday?
expand_more
Send a Drop to your followers that morning — a chef’s special, a family-style deal, a two-for-one on the bar menu. It reaches guests who have already eaten with you, not a cold audience.
Does Blinko compete with my delivery apps?
expand_more
No. Delivery platforms own the customer; Blinko gives you a direct line to guests who dine in. Payments you take through Blinko carry a 0% platform fee — you only pay your own payment processor.
Do diners have to hand over an email address to join?
expand_more
No signup, no email, no account — just one QR scan. Guests who already have the free Blinko app connect instantly; new ones do a quick one-time free download.

Restaurant Customer Retention: Why Regulars Go
Most restaurants lose regulars not to bad food, but because nothing nudges them back. Here is how a first-time diner turns into someone who returns.
The Restaurant Loyalty Program That Runs Itself
Most restaurant loyalty programs die because nobody can babysit them. Blinko spots lapsed regulars and sends the win-back while you are still on the line.
