Customer retention for restaurants

The weekend books itself. Midweek is the problem worth solving

Restaurants rarely have a Saturday problem. They have a Tuesday problem, and a diner who came twice this year and would have come four times if anyone had given them a reason. Passumo is the way to give them one.

Rewards that suit a restaurant

  • A dessert on the house on your fourth visit
  • A glass of wine for the table on your fifth
  • Something on us in your birthday week

Examples, not settings. You pick the reward and we build the card around it.

A midweek service, filled from your own list

Lower frequency and a higher ticket than the counter trades, so the card is built around fewer visits that are each worth a lot more.

  1. At the table

    The bill is paid and the pass is scanned with it. Fourth visit, and dessert on the next one is on their phone before they have got their coat.

  2. Monday, 4pm

    Tuesday is half booked. An offer goes to everyone who has eaten with you, at no cost per message, and the covers you were short of arrive.

  3. New menu week

    The people who already like your food hear about the new menu first. That is a full room on the night you would otherwise be trialling it to nobody.

Why retention

The cheapest customer is the one who already walked in.

Most independent venues have no way to reach a customer once they leave: no number, no email, no reason to come back. Every visit is a first visit. That is the gap Passumo closes.

02 Three ways back

Reach them after they leave. Whichever way they are reachable.

Every message goes out on the channel most likely to land, starting with the one that costs you nothing.

Straight to their smartphone, on the lock screen next to their bank cards, through the card they already added. No app to install and no per-message fee, so it's the default for everything routine: a stamp landing, a reward unlocking, a quiet Tuesday offer.

Nothing · Unlimited, never metered

For the messages that need room. A welcome with your story, a monthly regulars' offer, a voucher with its terms. Branded to match your card, drafted by AI if you want.

Included in the plan · 5,000 a month

The one nobody ignores, held back for the moments that earn it: a win-back to someone who's drifted, a birthday, a same-day offer on a slow service.

Included in the plan · 250 segments a month

The product holds back before a customer would. Every automation and campaign counts against the same caps, so nobody is messaged three times in a day.

01 How it works

Five minutes to set up. Then it works while you serve.

No designers, no developers, no new hardware. Here is the whole thing, start to finish.

  1. 01

    Counter card, window sticker, or a Wi-Fi card that hands out your password once they join. They scan it with the camera they already have, and there is no app for anyone to download.

  2. 02

    Choose what you ask for. A name and an email is enough to hand out a card; add a phone or a birthday only if you will use them.

  3. 03

    It says thank you the moment they join, then it is their page for your shop: their stamps, your review link, your Wi-Fi, and where to find you.

  4. 04

    Twenty-five are already written. Switch one on and it keeps running, reaching the right customers while you serve the ones in front of you.

Pre-built flows

The flows a restaurant actually uses.

28 are written and ready to switch on. These are the ones worth starting with. The trigger, the timing and the message are already done.

01

New menu preview

A new menu launched to strangers is marketing spend. Launched to people who already love the place, it is a booked-out Wednesday.

02

Flash promotion

Decided on a Monday afternoon, sent to the whole list, and aimed at exactly the service that is looking thin.

03

VIP night

Your most frequent diners are a real asset. An evening built for them costs a service and buys years of word of mouth.

04

Customer anniversary

Restaurants are where people mark occasions. Being the one that remembers theirs is the whole game.
