A neighborhood coffee shop
Bringing the morning regulars back
The challenge
The owner knew faces, not patterns. Regulars would quietly fade — a new job, a new route, a new habit — and by the time anyone noticed the empty stool, they were someone else’s regular.
The setup
A QR sticker by the register turned every visit into a customer record. The stamp card gave a reason to return; the win-back automation watched each regular’s rhythm and proposed a small offer the moment a gap stretched too long. The owner approved each campaign from her phone.
