Digital Loyalty Cards for Areperías
Your customers eat at your arepería 5-7 mornings a week. That's a loyalty program goldmine. Their card lives in Google Wallet or Apple Wallet — they see your logo every morning when they pay. Works for sit-down spots and street stands. Affordable for indie owners.
Why PlusU Loyalty works for areperías
Built for the daily morning rhythm of Colombian breakfast.
Built for the morning rush
Scanning a customer's Wallet card takes 2 seconds. New signups happen at the QR — no line backup. Stay fast during peak hours when people grab breakfast on their way to work.
Daily regulars = fast loyalty wins
When a customer eats at your place 5-7 times a week, they earn a reward in 2 weeks. Programs like "10 arepas, 11th free" pay off almost immediately — and lock in habit.
Your brand in their Wallet, every day
Your logo sits in the customer's Google or Apple Wallet — between their bank card and bus pass. Every morning when they pay for breakfast, they see your arepería.
Works for stands and sit-down spots
No counter? No problem. One printed QR or one shown from your phone — that's it. Whether you're a street stand, kiosk, or sit-down arepería, the setup is the same.
No app for your customers
Customers scan with their phone camera, enter name + email, and the card is in their Wallet in 30 seconds. No app to install — they keep moving.
Multiple staff, one system
If you have helpers at the counter or fryer, each scans cards from their own phone. No shared tablet, no extra hardware to buy.
Reward structures that work for areperías
Four examples — pick one that fits your customers.
"10 arepas, the 11th is free"
The classic. Simple, easy to understand, and with daily regulars it pays off in 2 weeks. Best starting point for a first loyalty program.
Starter"Every 5 arepas → free coffee"
Cross-sell breakfast combo. Pulls customers into ordering the full meal, not just the arepa. Increases the average ticket.
Cross-sell"7 arepas → arepa con todo (premium)"
Tiered reward — the prize is your fullest, most-loaded arepa. Great for areperías with a wider menu, makes the reward feel special.
Premium"20 arepas → 30% off a weekend combo"
Loyalty milestone with a seasonal twist. Drives big-spender behavior and rewards your most loyal regulars with something memorable.
MilestoneHow it works in an arepería
From the first morning signup to the first free arepa — here's the flow.
Set up your card (5 min, one-time)
Open PlusU Loyalty on your phone, upload your logo, choose colors, and write your reward — "Buy 10 arepas, the 11th is free." Done.
Show the QR — counter, stand, or phone
Print the QR for the counter or wall. Or show it from your phone — works just as well at a street stand or kiosk without surfaces.
Customer signs up in 30 seconds
They scan with their phone camera, enter name + email, tap "Add to Google Wallet" or "Add to Apple Wallet." Card is in their phone before the arepa is ready.
Add a stamp on every visit
Customer shows the card from their Wallet. You scan with the PlusU app — one tap. When the card is full, the next arepa is free.
See it in action
From the owner's app to the customer's Wallet.
"We see the same faces every morning. Before, we couldn't reward them in a real way — paper cards kept getting lost in pockets. Now their loyalty card is in their phone, in Google Wallet or Apple Wallet, and they see our logo every time they pay for something. They earn a free arepa every two weeks and they keep choosing us over the place across the street."
