Restaurants & Food Service

Restaurants need regulars and returning guests. A digital business card at the table or entrance bundles menu, reservations, delivery, reviews — and guests have your contact saved for next time.

8 real use cases

How Restaurants & Food Service use their digital business card

#01

Menu as top button

Guest scans at the table — sees the current menu. You never reprint, the menu is always current.

Example: Italian restaurant: 78% of table scans → menu. Print costs $0 instead of $1,320 per year.

#02

Reservation booking 24/7

Guest books a table Sundays and after-hours. Card button → OpenTable/Resy.

Example: Bistro in Brooklyn: 42% of reservations come via the card outside business hours.

#03

Regulars newsletter

'Daily specials newsletter' for loyal guests. Owned audience for promotions.

Example: Italian bistro: 1,800 newsletter subscribers from the card. 'Pasta special' email drives an 18% reservation rate.

#04

Delivery (DoorDash, own shop)

Card button to delivery. Regulars order in one tap instead of searching.

Example: Asian restaurant: 28% repeat orders via the card DoorDash link.

#05

Catering inquiries for businesses

Card form for catering. Sales pipeline for Q4 and summer season.

Example: Pizzeria: 8 catering orders per month from the card form ($198-$880 per order).

#06

Review request after the visit

Card QR on the check — guest reviews in one tap.

Example: Family restaurant: 24 new Google reviews per month via the card button. Rating 4.3 → 4.8.

#07

Event bookings (birthdays, holiday party)

Card form for private events. Higher utilization in slow weeks.

Example: Steakhouse: 22 event bookings per quarter (birthdays, corporate) from cards. $660-$2,640 per event.

#08

Digital loyalty / punch card

Instead of paper punch cards: digital from the card. 10 visits = free dessert.

Example: Bistro: 480 active loyalty cards. Return rate +28%. Stronger regular-customer retention.
