HOW IT WORKS
Simple for you and your staff
STEP 1
Pick your perk
Your choice, worth at least $3. A free add-on, a percentage off or a member-only treat. No codes to manage.
STEP 2
Get set up
After checkout you will get a short setup form. Your spot and perk go live in the Passport app.
STEP 3
Members show their card
Members show a live card with a moving clock and their member number. Staff just glance and honor the perk.
STEP 4
They scan your QR
Your counter sign has your own QR code. Every scan is a stamp for them and a counted visit for you.

What counts as a perk?
Anything worth at least $3 that you are happy to offer every member visit or once per member, your call. No discount codes needed.
Does my staff need training?
No. Members show a live card on their phone. If the clock is moving, honor the perk. That is it.
What is the QR code for?
Members scan it to collect a stamp, which enters them in monthly giveaways. It also tells you how many members came in.
