The punch card problem
Punch cards were a great idea in 1995. Today, they're a missed opportunity.
Punch cards fail because...
- Cards get lost or forgotten at home
- No way to remind customers to come back
- Zero data on who your regulars actually are
- Can't personalize or adjust rewards
Growva solves this by...
- Rewards live on their phone—always with them
- Automated nudges when they drift away
- See exactly who visits and how often
- Change rewards anytime, test what works
How it works
Three steps. No training required.
Customer scans QR
One QR code at your counter. No app download needed.
They earn instantly
Points added automatically. Progress visible immediately.
Redeem in seconds
Show reward code at checkout. You verify. Done.
Works alongside your existing POS (Toast, Clover, Square).
No changes required to start.
Why customers keep coming back
Small, fast rewards trigger the same psychology that makes games addictive—but for your café.
Progress bars
Seeing "3/5 visits" creates urgency to complete the goal. Customers come back to finish what they started.
Instant feedback
Points appear immediately after check-in. No waiting, no uncertainty. Instant gratification builds habit.
Streaks
"Visit 3 days in a row for bonus points." Loss aversion kicks in—nobody wants to break their streak.

"I already have punch cards / Square / Toast"
If you use punch cards...
Punch cards work until customers lose them—which happens constantly. Growva keeps rewards on their phone, reminds them when they're close, and brings them back when they drift. It's the same simple concept, without the paper.
If you use Square Loyalty...
Square Loyalty requires customers to enter their phone number at checkout. Most skip it—too slow, too awkward. Growva is instant: scan a QR while they're waiting, and they're enrolled before they order.
If you use Toast Loyalty...
Toast ties loyalty to their ecosystem. If you ever switch POS, you lose your program. Growva works standalone—no POS dependency. And the QR-first flow means higher opt-in than phone-number-at-checkout.
