Restaurant Engagement Loyalty Programs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux Partners with Paytronix Loyalty

— January 14, 2025 — Business
Paytronix is positioned as a leading brand in guest engagement loyalty programs for restaurants and convenience stores. It recently joined nationally renowned restaurant and sports bar Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux to help relaunch the business' guest engagement platform with Paytronix Loyalty.

The new Walk-On’s Rewards guest engagement loyalty program is intended to support and boost the growth of the brand's franchisee community. Paytronix Loyalty was selected as the provider of this service due to its advanced features — from its data-driven measurement and reporting to its ability to deliver lucrative rewards and experiences to visitors.

Mike Lester, CEO of Walking Tall Brands and a member of the Walk-On’s Sports Bistreaux Franchise Advisory Council, shared: "Our franchisees are asking for a loyalty platform with more personalization that will help them build deeper relationships with their guests. Through enabling greater personalization via segmentation, targeting, and offers based on guest transactions, Paytronix Loyalty will provide both convenience and access to the data and information necessary to learn what our guest journey is and how to increase their visit frequency.”
