Soaring inflation has been a challenge for everyone in 2022 and restaurateurs are no exception.  One saving grace has been restaurant loyalty program members. They have responded immensely by supporting their favorite brands.  As prices have gone up, many loyalty program customers have been increasing their spend, with 55% of restaurants reporting that their check sizes have increased more than the price of their items, however, it’s not all rainbows and lollipops. 

There appears to be a point at which loyalty customers will no longer tolerate price increases.   According to a report released earlier this month, once prices increase more than 10%, check sizes drop drastically--showing that even the most loyal customers have their limits.  

Welcome to the Restaurant Growth Show Podcast.  Today we brought in Loyalty expert, Sam Sorbara from Ackroo to pull back the curtain on loyalty programs, their real-world applications, and the effect they have on inflation.  I’m excited, the team here is ecstatic.   

It's the World Cup edition  This is episode 11

From brick and mortar to click and order. If your customers can't see your food and order it quickly online, they are going to bounce. In other words, they're going to leave and go buy from somebody else. We're talking about what goes into creating a high-converting digital menu. On the Restaurant Growth Show. It's Halloween weekend. We're getting a little spooky in here.

With physical menus, this was virtually impossible, but now with

Restaurants are able to dynamically price at scale.
