Loyalty sign-up rate is mostly a staff-behaviour problem, not a tech problem. Four levers in order of impact: (1) one scripted line every cashier can deliver in 3 seconds, (2) friction at sign-up under 30 seconds (QR + phone number, that's it), (3) daily leaderboard so staff see capture rate vs target, (4) small per-signup bonus tied to a team target — not individual, to avoid fighting over walk-ins.
Operators who run all four reliably hit 35–50% of transactions converting to loyalty sign-up. Operators who skip the script land at 5–15%.
FAQ
Should the bonus be cash or a non-cash perk?
Cash works but loses motivation after week 4. Rotating non-cash perks (free meal, weekend off, branded merch) sustain motivation longer in our operator data.

Turn this into repeat visits
PEKO is the AI retention layer that runs on the POS you already use: it enrols members without the cashier asking and re-engages customers who are drifting away. Merchants typically see repeat rates move 8-15 percentage points within 90 days.

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

Answer
How does loyalty for a chain differ from loyalty for a single venue?
Three things change: identity must be shared across sites, reward liability must be settled between sites, and reporting has to work for managers who are not analysts. Everything else is the same programme.
Answer
What is a loyalty layer, and why pick one over the loyalty module bundled with your POS?
A loyalty layer is a POS-agnostic system that sits on top of whatever point-of-sale you already run and owns the customer relationship (identity, segmentation, win-back, reporting). It beats a POS-bundled loyalty module because the POS vendor's roadmap optimises for transactions, not for retention.
