Sound familiar?
From frustration to fix.
Guests come once, and then never again.
A loyalty program gives them a reason to return.
Lunchtime is often empty.
A TODAY lunch offer fills the lull.
After the visit, contact breaks off.
Birthday and win-back messages keep it alive.
How it works
Up and running in three steps.
Design the card
Pick a card type, set your logo and colors, define the reward rule, for example "Every 10th visit: dessert on the house.". The live preview shows instantly how the card looks in the wallet.
Onboard customers
The customer scans the QR code at the counter and adds the card to their wallet with one tap. Done, no app for your guests.
Collect & reward
One tap is all it takes: the balance updates automatically on the card, and when a reward is reached a wallet notification lands on the phone.

A day with tapja
How it feels in everyday life.
A couple has dinner and scans the QR code on the table stand while waiting for the bill. The card is in the wallet seconds later, with no app of their own. On the sixth visit your service counts the point in the staff app; on the tenth the dessert is on the house. On Tuesdays you send „Pasta night, two for one“ to everyone who has not been in for a month. A birthday voucher goes out automatically, without anyone keeping a list.
From €0, free forever for up to 30 cards.

When does a stamp card start to pay off?
Two pages with the arithmetic: contribution margin per visit, monthly cost, and the number of extra visits at which the card pays for itself. In return for signing up to our emails; one click unsubscribes.
Common questions about tapja for Restaurants.
Question not listed?
Write to us, a person will answer.
Stamps or points, what fits a restaurant?
Usually points, because a dinner weighs more than a coffee. One point per visit works on every plan; points relative to the bill, for when a lunch plate and a full menu are far apart, belong to the larger plan (from Home Base).
Does tapja also work for pizzerias, takeaways or food trucks?
Yes. Anywhere guests come back, the card in the wallet builds a regular crowd, with no app for your guests. Takeaway and food trucks have their own pages with matching example programs.
Do my guests need an app?
No, your guests need no app. The card lives in Apple or Google Wallet, already installed on every smartphone. Your service team, on the other hand, uses the staff app to award points.
Who awards the point, service or kitchen?
Whoever you want. Everyone in service gets their own account with a PIN in the staff app. They tap once while settling the bill, and the point is logged with time and name in the activity log.
Do I have to connect it to my till or booking system?
No. tapja runs independently on a phone or tablet. You can start without anyone touching your existing setup, and export your customer list as CSV at any time.
Do my customers need an app?
No. The card lives right in Apple or Google Wallet. Both are already on the phone. No download, no login for your customers.
How does the card get onto the phone?
Via the QR code on the counter stand: scan once, "Add to Wallet," done. The card is on the phone in seconds.
Is it GDPR-compliant?
Yes, GDPR by design: data minimisation, servers in the EU and a separate marketing consent. From your guests you need a name and an email, nothing more.
