The retention platform for F&B

The most valuable customer isn't the next one. It's the one who comes back.

PayLoop is the AI-powered retention engine for restaurants, bars, and cafés — turning every payment into a guest profile, every profile into a return visit, and every outlet into a brand people are loyal to.

The real problem in F&B right now

Your food brings guests in. But what brings them back?

The industry spends billions on acquisition — ads, platforms, influencers. But 70% of first-time guests never return. Not because the food was bad. Because nothing was pulling them back.

No second visit

Most new guests are one-time visitors. Without a structural reason to return, the next meal goes to whoever is top of mind — which is rarely you.

Every guest is anonymous

Every guest walks out a stranger. No spend history, no visit frequency, no churn signal. You can't retain someone you don't know.

Loyalty that doesn't work

Stamps get lost. Points confuse. Legacy loyalty programmes built in 2010 weren't designed for modern guests — or modern data.

No data, no decisions

Marketing spend is guesswork. You don't know who your regulars are, what they order, when they last visited, or when they're about to churn.

PayLoop gives you the platform to fix this — the retention engine your outlet is missing.

The intelligence layer

PayLoop isn't a payment tool.
It's a retention engine.

Beneath the scan-to-pay experience sits an AI platform that learns your guests, predicts churn, and automates the campaigns that bring people back — visit after visit.

Guest Intelligence

Every scan builds a profile: visit frequency, spend patterns, favourite items, and a real-time churn risk score. Your guests stop being anonymous.

100% guest identification

Predictive Retention

AI identifies guests likely to lapse and triggers personalised incentives before they do — so your retention is proactive, not reactive.

Churn predicted before it happens

Closed-Loop Loyalty

Cashback that lands instantly and redeems only at your outlet — structurally incentivising the return visit. You pay for loyalty only when you earn it.

45.8% redemption rate

Campaign Automation

Push the right offer to the right guest at the right moment. Happy-hour boost. Birthday reward. Win-back campaign. Triggered automatically, zero manual effort.

393 loyalty scenarios mapped

Cohort Analytics

Segment guests by behaviour. Identify your top 20% by lifetime value. Track new vs. returning, peak windows, spend by category. Know who drives your revenue.

+35.6% MoM revenue growth

Multi-Outlet Intelligence

One unified view across every brand in your group. Cross-brand loyalty. Unified guest identity. Every outlet benefits from every interaction across your portfolio.

Scan. Order. Pay. Come back.

The guest experience that feeds the retention engine. No app download. No new hardware. Every interaction becomes a data point, and every data point builds loyalty.

1

Scan

Guest scans the QR on their table. Your white-labelled menu opens on their phone — no app, no download.

2

Order

Full menu with photos, prices, and descriptions. Guests order at their own pace — and order more.

3

See the bill

Running total, itemised. Split any way they want — by person, by item, by round. Complete transparency.

4

Pay

Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay. Checkout in seconds, on the guest's own phone. No terminal. No queue.

5

Instant cashback

A reward lands in their wallet the second they pay — redeemable only at your outlet. No points. No stamps.

6

Come back

You just bought your next visit. Every payment buys the one after it — and your customer stops being anonymous.

The Product — four connected capabilities

One loop. Every touchpoint.

The mechanism through which the retention engine operates — ordering, payment, loyalty, and insight, all connected to your existing POS and feeding data back into the platform.

Self-service ordering

White-labelled menu with photos, prices, descriptions. Live bill, split payments, digital tipping. Guests order more when they're not waiting on a server to take it.

One-tap payment

Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay. PCI-DSS compliant. UAE-licensed processing via Paymob. Checkout happens on the guest's phone — never at a terminal.

Closed-loop loyalty

Cashback lands instantly — but only redeems at your outlet. Every payment buys the next visit. No points, no stamps, no confusion. You pay for loyalty only when you earn it.

85% RETURN RATE

Operator dashboard

Real-time sales, cashback redeemed, repeat vs. new guests, peak times, tips, table turnover. Run your outlet with data — not guesswork. Multi-outlet rollup for groups.

See it live

The dashboard your operators actually open every morning.

Operator questions

Straight answers.

48 hours from signature to first transaction. We configure your menu with photos and prices, print your QR codes, connect to your POS, and train your managers. You're live by the end of the second day.
No. PayLoop runs on your existing POS, your guests' phones, and your current payment processor. The only physical artefact is a branded QR code at each table — which we print and ship.
Never. The menu, ordering, bill, payment, and cashback wallet all run in the phone browser from a single QR scan. No sign-up, no app store detour, no friction.
Nothing. Unredeemed cashback costs you zero. You pay for loyalty only when you earn the repeat visit — that's why we call it closed-loop. No liability on your books, no expired points to reconcile.
Yes — from the dashboard. Target by time of day, menu item, customer segment, or visit frequency. Boost cashback on Tuesdays, reward birthdays, push a happy-hour margarita before a shift ends. It's yours to tune.
Visa, Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay. PCI-DSS compliant. UAE processing licensed via Paymob. We settle directly to your business account.
Yes. Multi-outlet rollups are built in — standardised menus or per-venue menus, one-group dashboard, per-brand cashback rules. Market Island runs seven brands on one PayLoop account.
