Ask at checkout, then back it up with an automated message at the start of each guest's personal rebook window (3–6 weeks for barbershops, 14 weeks for hair colour) — automation alone recovers about 60% of guests who would otherwise drift.
Spa rebook windows differ sharply by service: barbershops 3–6 weeks, nail fills 2–3 weeks, nail full-sets 6–10 weeks, hair colour 8–14 weeks, spa courses 2–4 weeks. The automation must match the window exactly — generic monthly broadcasts underperform by 40%+.
In Vietnam specifically, Zalo OA is the dominant retention channel — read rates of 60–80% beat SMS (15–25%) and email (8–15%) by a wide margin. Any retention playbook that does not put Zalo OA as the default channel underperforms by 2–4×.
PEKO operationalises this as a loyalty layer that sits on top of an existing booking platform — Booksy, Fresha, Mindbody, KiotViet, or paper diaries — rather than replacing it. Onboarding for a small venue typically takes 3–5 days from contract to first automated message.
FAQ
How long does implementation take?
Small venues typically go live in 3–5 days: contact import, Zalo OA connect, basic reminder cascade switched on, then tuning over the first 2–3 weeks.
Do I need to replace my current booking system?
No. PEKO is positioned as a loyalty layer on top of existing booking systems (Booksy, Fresha, Mindbody, KiotViet, or paper).
How fast will I see results?
Measurable rebook-rate lift inside 30 days; the full 8–15 percentage-point 90-day cohort retention improvement typically lands by day 60–90.
The PEKO ecosystem
PEKO and LOOP are two products from the same company. PEKO is the AI retention layer and runs alongside the POS you already use. LOOP is the AI-native POS that covers operations: recipe-level inventory, staff shifts, table plans and the kitchen display. Each works on its own, and run together they share one dataset, so nothing has to be entered twice. See PEKO + LOOP in one ecosystem

Customer churn prediction for restaurants in 2026 — practical playbook for F&B operators
Restaurant churn prediction in 2026 = per-customer cadence baseline + gradient-boost on RFM features + confidence threshold ≥70% + cohort A/B validation. Beats flat-rule 30-day logic by 2.3–3.1× win-back conversion.
Answer
How do I calculate customer retention rate for my restaurant?
Retention rate = ((Customers at end of period − New customers acquired in the period) / Customers at start of period) × 100. Use a 90-day window for the cleanest F&B signal.
Answer
How do I increase average ticket at my barbershop?
Engineer the service menu to anchor a premium tier, surface a profitable mid tier, and use a value tier for discovery — combined with a scripted add-on prompt at check-in, this lifts average ticket 10–18% with no price changes.
