Customer loyalty has come a long way from the paper punch card. Now it seems like every restaurant has their own app, their own loyalty programs, and their own way to reward customers and keep them coming back.
We’re joined on this episode by Phil Crawford, the chief technology officer of CKE brands, better known as the parent of Carl's Jr. & Hardees. And we’re talking all things customer loyalty tech. We get into:
- Why digital loyalty programs are so essential right now
- What type of rewards programs are driving guest satisfaction
- How to use tech to enhance the customer experience—without replacing the human element
- The tech that will be common for restaurants in 2032
