Coffee shops & cafés

Food & drink

Best forFood & drink
Starting fromR249 / month

You probably already have regulars. You just don't know who they are.

  • Stamp card on their phone — no paper, no replacements
  • Broadcast a weekday special to everyone enrolled
  • See exactly who your regulars are and how often they visit

Regulars who come back on purpose, not just by habit.

Pet groomers

Pet services

Best forPet services
Starting fromFree, then R249 / month

Your best clients rebook. Your lapsed ones just disappear — and you have no way to reach them.

  • Visit-based stamp card — every 5th groom earns a reward
  • Broadcast a gentle reminder when it's time to rebook
  • See which clients are drifting before they're gone

A client base that comes back on schedule, not whenever they remember.

Salons & beauty

Health & beauty

Best forHealth & beauty
Starting fromR249 – R499 / month

Quiet Tuesdays. Clients who only book one service. No way to fill the gaps.

  • One stamp card across every service you offer
  • Broadcast a same-week special to fill slow slots
  • Know which regulars haven't been in a while

Quiet days that don't feel quiet. Clients discovering services they'd never booked.

Restaurants

Hospitality

Best forHospitality
Starting fromR249 – R499 / month

Tourists fill your weekend. Locals fill your week — if they know you want them back.

  • Stamp programme that rewards repeat visits, not spend
  • Broadcast a midweek special directly to enrolled locals
  • See who your most loyal patrons actually are

A local following that doesn't disappear when the tourists do.

Quick fit check

Is loyalty right for your business?

Great fit

  • You have repeat customers
  • They visit weekly or monthly
  • You want to know who they are

Less suitable

  • × One-time purchase businesses
  • × Purely tourist-facing with no local base
  • × Customers you never see twice

Cashback might suit you better if…

  • You have fat margins. Boutique retail, beauty services with high ticket prices, premium restaurants.
  • You're already on a card machine that bundles in loyalty, and all your customers pay by card.
  • You want continuous, invisible accumulation rather than reward moments.

We're not the right fit for every business. That's fine. We'd rather help the right vendors than chase every one.

Read the science

Not sure? If you have repeat customers and want them to come back more often, loyalty probably makes sense for you. Get in touch and we'll tell you straight.

When Lekka isn't right for you.

Lekka isn't the right fit for every business. We'd rather help the right vendors than chase every one.

If you're already on a payments platform that includes loyalty as a bundled feature, and you're comfortable giving 2–5% of every card sale to customers as rewards, the loyalty in your existing subscription probably works for you. You'd be paying for Lekka on top of a feature you've already paid for.

Lekka is built for the vendor who values keeping loyalty separate from payments. Vendors who take cash, EFT, SnapScan, or work across multiple payment providers. Vendors on entry-tier payment plans who don't want to upgrade their payment subscription just to unlock a loyalty feature. Vendors who want their customer relationships to stay portable if they ever change their till setup. Vendors who'd rather pay for what their customers earn than give away a percentage of every sale.

If that sounds like you, we're built for it.
