Indonesia’s Food & Beverage (F&B) industry is growing fast but competition is even faster. From coffee shops and QSR chains to casual dining, customers now have endless choices. As a result, customer loyalty has become one of the biggest challenges for F&B brands.
This is where loyalty program apps play a critical role. No longer just point-collection tools, modern loyalty apps help brands increase repeat purchases, build long-term relationships, and run more relevant marketing campaigns.
Global industry reports show that brands increasingly rely on digital loyalty programs to retain customers and drive direct transactions. This approach is especially relevant for F&B, where tight margins and high transaction frequency make retention a key growth driver.
In Indonesia, several shifts strengthen this need:
A loyalty app helps F&B brands respond to these changes with a structured, data-driven approach.
A loyalty program app is a digital system that allows customers to:

This data becomes the foundation for smarter and more measurable marketing campaigns.
F&B customers return often. Without a loyalty system, these repeat visits remain disconnected. A loyalty app turns daily transactions into long-term relationships.

Loyalty programs in F&B are no longer based on assumptions. Global data shows a clear pattern: customers respond better to programs that are relevant, personalized, and digitally integrated.
McKinsey & Company reports that 71% of consumers expect personalized interactions, while 76% feel frustrated by generic experiences. In F&B, offers based on customer habits—such as favorite menu items—are more effective than broad discounts.
According to the Bond Brand Loyalty Report, over 60% of consumers prefer experience-based rewards. Free items, size upgrades, and exclusive menu access resonate more than traditional point systems. Modern loyalty apps make these rewards easy to manage at scale.
Deloitte Digital found that integrating loyalty with POS and CRM can increase repeat rates by 30–40%. For fast-paced F&B operations, integration ensures real-time data, fewer errors, and more targeted campaigns.
Harvard Business Review notes that a 5% increase in retention can boost profits by 25–95%. This is why F&B brands are moving away from short-term promotions toward long-term relationship strategies—powered by loyalty apps that connect transactions, marketing, and customer experience.
