The landing page gives you the overview. This page walks through the mechanics: setup, the Groupon question, the retention math, and how the consumer app drives distribution.
No hardware. No app to install on your POS. No training your staff for hours.
Pick the menu items you want to discount for loyal customers. A cocktail from $14 to $9. An entree from $38 to $29. You choose the items and the prices. You're in complete control.
When a customer walks in, they check in on the Regulars app. You get a notification. Your staff sees them in the tablet view. They unlock your Regulars Pricing instantly.
Every visit is tracked. You see who's coming, how often, and what's working. The savings give them a reason to choose you over the place next door — every single time.
If you ran a restaurant in 2011, you probably got burned by Groupon. Here's why Regulars is fundamentally different — and why it actually helps your bottom line.
Strangers. One-time deal seekers who have no relationship with your business and no intention of coming back.
Your regulars. People who already come back, or are building a habit of coming back. The pricing recognizes the relationship — not subsidizing tourists.
50% off + Groupon's cut. You'd sell a $40 meal for $20, then Groupon would take half. You'd get $10 for a $40 plate.
You set the price. We take nothing. A $5 discount on a cocktail for someone who comes every week? That's an investment, not a loss.
They never come back. 80%+ of Groupon customers never returned. You lost money acquiring someone who was never going to be a customer.
They keep coming back — that's the whole point. Every check-in builds their status. The discount deepens the habit, not drains your margin.
50% of every sale. Groupon kept half the revenue. The platform profited whether you did or not.
Zero. None. Ever. Regulars charges a flat subscription. We never take a cut of your sales. Not now, not ever.
Customer acquisition. Groupon sold access to deal-hunters. The business was the product, and the discount was the bait.
Customer retention. Regulars helps you keep the customers you already have. The discount is your tool — you control it completely.
Groupon asked you to lose money on strangers and hope for the best. Regulars lets you invest a few dollars per visit in the people who already love your business — and gives you a dashboard to see exactly how it's working.
The math is simple: a loyal customer who comes every two weeks is worth 26x more than a one-time visitor. A small discount that keeps them coming back is the highest-ROI investment you can make.
The average restaurant loses 30-40% of their regular customers every year to simple drift — they forget, they try somewhere new, life gets in the way. Regulars gives them a financial reason to choose you, every single time. That's not a discount. That's retention.
Regulars isn't just a dashboard for you. It's a consumer app where people find businesses through trusted friends, check in, and save money. When someone's friend is a regular at your spot, that friend sees it. That's the most powerful marketing there is — and it costs you nothing.
Customers see where their friends go. Your regulars bring their friends in — organically.
Your business shows up when people explore their neighbourhood. Zero ad spend required.
Friends leave private notes about your business. No public reviews. No star ratings. Just real word of mouth.
The bundle includes everything on this page — CRM, cohort messaging, churn signals, and lift estimates. No credit card. Pricing begins when we can show you measurable lift.
