Virtual Restaurant Loyalty Programs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Wow Bao Debuted the Industry's First Virtual Loyalty Program

— May 26, 2022 — Tech
Wow Bao announced the 'Bao Bucks' program, an industry first for virtual restaurant loyalty programs. The service will be compatible with all of Wow Bao's restaurants, which span over 600 units, each available on Wow Bao's website. The service will work by allowing customers to accrue one Bao Bucks point for each U.S Dollar spent on the website. Then, when users reach 100 points, they will receive $7 USD which can be spent at any restaurant on the website within 60 days.

The service is launching with this single, streamlined feature at its inception in order to attract as many customers as possible to the platform. Wow Bao stated that, as more users join its loyalty program and the program becomes more popular, it will add more rewards, services, and integrations that will increase the attractiveness of the system.
