Every AskFoodie feature, side by side — what the diner gets, and what the restaurant gets.

Every feature has two sides: something a diner wants, and something a restaurant gets back because of it. This page lists both, in the order a diner meets them — finding a place, joining, coming back, and spending a reward.

Nothing here needs an app download, a phone number, or a connection to your POS.

Restaurant FAQ

The questions restaurants ask first, answered.

Finding a place

Feature	For diners	For restaurants
Deals near you · open it	Today's deals from the restaurants around you, on a map. No account needed to browse.	Diners who have never visited find you while they're choosing where to eat.
Flash deals	A one-day deal stands out on the map, so a good offer today isn't missed.	Fill a quiet day with a one-day offer that nearby diners see on the map.
Claimable deals	Claim an offer into your wallet with one tap — "first 50 get a free drink" — and show it when you order.	A capped, time-boxed promotion with its own link, QR code and ready-made posters. Share it on WhatsApp or a poster; everyone who claims becomes a follower.
Your restaurant page & QR menu · guide	Scan one code and see what's on, the menu being served right now, and the punch card.	One QR code for the whole restaurant. Add your menu by typing it or by photographing the printed one.

Joining and earning

Feature	For diners	For restaurants
Tap to check in · guide	Hold your phone to the card at the counter and the stamp lands. No app, no form, no phone number.	Every walk-in can join — the whole table, not just whoever pays. Nothing for staff to do.
QR code on the staff screen · guide	Phone can't tap? Scan the QR on the staff screen, or type the code it shows.	Works on every phone. Staff open the counter screen and turn it round — no typing on their side.
Punch card · guide	A card you can see fill up, with the reward written on it.	Your reward, your visit count. Change the terms later and nobody loses what they were promised.
One card across all your locations	Stamps at any branch count toward the same card, and the reward works at any branch.	One programme for the whole brand, with numbers for each location.
Points and tiers	Every visit earns points, and regulars rise through Bronze, Silver and Gold.	Your best regulars are ranked by real visits. You choose a perk for each tier.
Receipt points	Photograph your bill within 7 days and your points follow what you spent.	A bigger order counts for more — with no till connection.
Delivery cards · guide	A card in the delivery bag gives you a stamp for ordering in.	Delivery customers join the same card as your dine-in regulars.

Coming back

Feature	For diners	For restaurants
Foodie Passport · guide	Fill one card across different restaurants nearby, and get a reward from any of them.	Diners of the restaurants around you get a reason to try yours. You choose the perk you give.
Prize draws	Every visit during a draw is a free entry. Winners get vouchers to spend there.	A burst of visits around a campaign, and the prizes bring winners back in.
Updates in the feed · guide	News and offers from the places you've been, in one feed.	A new dish, an event, an offer — post once and every follower sees it.
Weekly deals email · guide	One email a week with the deals from places you follow — only if you choose it.	Your posts reach your diners' inbox every week without you writing an email.
Phone alerts · guide	At most two notifications a day, bundled, for the diners who switch them on.	Your most important offers reach a phone. Capped on purpose, so diners don't switch you off.
Reminders	An email before a reward expires, and before your points start to drop.	Earned rewards get used, and lapsed regulars get a reason to return.

Using a reward

Feature	For diners	For restaurants
Wallet	Every card, reward and claimed deal in one place, with how close you are to the next one.	Your offer stays on the diner's phone, not in a drawer.
Spending a reward · guide	Show the reward, staff say yes, then you confirm it yourself. Nothing to print.	Staff never spend a reward for a diner. One reward per visit, and every use is logged.

Seeing what works

These are for the restaurant only.

Feature	What you get
Dashboard · guide	Visits, members, followers and rewards, at a glance.
Weekly report	A Monday email with last week's numbers.
Location numbers for brands	Each branch's visits and rewards, side by side, for head office.
Staff-use flags	Punches and rewards used by your own team are marked, so you can see them.
Private diner reviews	Only diners who checked in can review. You see the ratings; diners see your most-loved dishes, never a score.
Posters and table tents	Print a poster of your punch card, sized for the wall, with your own photos.
Your team · guide	Owners, managers and staff, each seeing only what their role needs.

What we deliberately don't do

No diner contact list. You see counts and trends, never names and phone numbers. That privacy is why diners are willing to join.
No POS connection. Nothing to integrate, and your staff keep their current workflow.
No app for diners to download. Everything opens on a web page.
