The loyalty app for coffee shops that works without the app.
Customers tap the LocalPal stand at the counter and earn a stamp, faster than contactless payment, with no download and no queue held up. The free app adds push notifications for the regulars who want your flash deals the second they go live. Both kinds of customer, one programme.
App or no app? You don't have to choose.
Customers tap the LocalPal stand with any NFC-enabled iPhone or Android and earn a stamp in about a second. No app, no QR hunting, no sign-up at the till.
Customers who install the free LocalPal app get your flash deals as push notifications, straight to their lock screen, for instant reach when you need it.
Every member, app or not, can receive your campaigns by email from day one. Nobody falls through the gap.
- Regulars visit more often, and order more each time
- Fill the dead hours between rushes with targeted offers
- Free coffee on their birthday, and they'll bring a friend
- Seasonal campaigns: pumpkin spice, Christmas drinks, new menu items

Asked by coffee shops & cafés.
- Do my customers need to download an app to collect coffee stamps?
- No. Any NFC-enabled iPhone or Android taps the LocalPal stand at the counter and earns a stamp instantly, quicker than paying by card, with no download and no hold-up in the queue. Customers who want more can install the free LocalPal app, but they never have to.
- Can I send push notifications about offers?
- Yes. Customers with the free LocalPal app get your flash deals as push notifications: "free cookie with any coffee, next 2 hours" reaches them in seconds. Customers without the app still get your campaigns by email, so every member stays reachable.
- How much does LocalPal cost for a coffee shop?
- LocalPal costs £25 per month (exclusive of VAT), cancel any time. That includes the NFC stand and QR starter kit delivered to your counter, digital stamp cards or store credit, flash deals and campaigns, and the merchant dashboard.
- Will it slow down my queue at rush hour?
- No, that's the point of the tap. One NFC tap on the stand takes about a second, roughly the same as contactless payment. There's no QR hunting, no app to open, no code for your barista to type.
- Digital stamps or store credit: which is better for a café?
- Most cafés start with the classic stamp card (every 5th or 10th coffee free) because customers understand it instantly. Store credit (for example £2 earned per £20 spent) rewards bigger baskets: food, beans, merch. LocalPal does both on the same £25/month, and you can switch.
- Do I need a till integration or new hardware?
- No POS integration is needed. Your £25/month includes the LocalPal stand and QR starter kit, delivered ready to use, and most cafés are up and running the same day.
